So Corporations will break any law for profit besides murder?
I trust the guy's family more than the police lol, so do most people
You're really bending over backwards to push this narrative.
What "narrative"? It's on the Wikipedia page. It's not a narrative, it's what happened. Like... I really don't care that much about this specific case. It's more about the principle, the erosion of truth, the meaninglessness of facts. It's honestly the same type of thinking that makes right wing conspiracists and I don't want to capitulate to it. Focusing on a a salacious and improbable event downplays the real "evils" of capitalism, the smaller but cumulative things: the selfishness, the greed of everyday people and how profit motivated corporations enhance and multiply that. Contrapoints (Natalie Wynn) just did a fantastic video on conspiracies that touches on all three points. I would recommend it to anyone.
That's the thing. These events are not just "salacious and improbable". These events are actually happening in front of our eyes and they need to be taken seriously. These events are happening as a direct result of capitalism, and not calling it out will just allow the right to set the narrative on those issues.
