(Allegedly) murders a healthcare CEO

The only thing he achieves is online liberal LARP and some fantasies from some angsty guys/girls

Gonna go against the grain here, but some of you might need to think about what was actually achieved via this kind of activism. It didn't weaken the healthcare industry or the ruling class in any way, as the murdered executive got replaced quite quickly, other healthcare executives got spooked for around a week and removed their contract info from websites - that's it. Individual or small-group "adventurist" acts like these aren't going to achieve anything.
