We prefer to stop people like Brian Thompson, whose killed and tortured tens of millions by weaponizing boring insurance policies, peacefully.
For the sake of those tens of millions, it's going to stop. Let's push for the peaceful option, with the understanding that it will be stopping one way or another. Hopefully the peaceful way works, and we'll keep doing everything we can to ensure that it does.
While you're shilling for a murderer, that'e some level 9000 cognitive dissidance that even lunduke would be proud of
I disagree with you here. Many people already fought and pushed for the peaceful option in the last decades. Also just for clarification: this isn't a struggle for wealth or glory - this is a fight about literal human life's. And I will be honest with you, if one person who has committed terrible actions dies, but as a result many more people can live (see the Bluecross reversal), it is difficult for me to say that it is a cognitive dissonance to fight for the peaceful option and to accept that violence may be necessary here.

Brian Thompson dying will not help people in health insurance situations it just makes the situation worse
Hmm, I think your position is well-founded. I agree - shooting people usually created division and doesn't solve the underlying problem. However, that doesn't mean that it has to be like that in every case.
I personally propose to wait a few years before judging. It is very against the spirit of the Internet, but you raise a valid point - there is very good ground to suspect it will have negative consequences.
