b҉"And the point of the book isn’t that you should never be mad at the health care industry — it’s that the house’s liberal nonviolent tools have historically been the most effective way to fix things. Granted, I’m sure people who hate the health industry are saying, “Where’s the change? We’ve been trying and it’s still awful.” And that may be true. But when you use political violence, what you’re doing is you’re trying to fix something in the house while smashing through one of the house’s support beams. And if you keep doing that, now someone else will assassinate someone on your side, and before you know it, it’s the road to hell."
This Tim Urban guy comes off as remarkably obtuse about a lot of things in this interview, not least of which is the regular everyday political violence perpetrated by the health insurance business. The fact that it happens at industrial scale and fattens the wallets of the CEOs doesn't make it less deadly to millions of victims of such political violence. This mentality tends to render political violence against working class people invisible (and therefore approves of it) but condemns them if they ever fight back.
