This video discussing the time she was interrupted in the middle of a patient’s surgery by a United representative to ask whether the patient really needed to stay overnight to recover.

    being against violence in this context has become a very complicated question.

    Reminds me of the French Revolution. Big changes like that were attained through violence. We’ve rightfully pushed away from violence to become a better society, but it is clear that the changes we want will not be obtained with likes and TikTok dances (or comments like this, ironically). The rich and powerful do not fear the people anymore because of this. People can strike all they want but the elites have learned that they just need to sit and wait (see Gilets Jaunes French protests or Iranian protests) because no one will even dare punch them in the face. Luigi was an exception and they are trying to flag this as a one time incident.

    All of this is sickening, to be honest.
