So you are okay with corporate murder, as long as they don't murder more than have become activists as a ratio?

If murder rates have doubled that is bad, regardless of the number of people becoming activists.

It's important to see the direction we're going in. If the number of activists increased by an order of magnitude (for example), we would be on a great trajectory to reduce these murders. If the number of activists stayed the same, this would be a horrible development.

Of course corporate murder is horrible, but the world is on fire (quite literally). Without putting the numbers in perspective, there's no way to tell whether we need to put our resources towards fighting activist murders or, for example, clan criminality.

Of course I'm not "okay with corporate murder".

I just wanted to see some context as to why the rate was increasing.
