Ethel Cain: Singer stands by #KillMoreCEOs post

Cain added that she is from a “deeply conservative family in the sticks of Florida”.

She said the US healthcare system had failed “each and every member of my family in a different way at one point or another, as is the case with pretty much every family in this scorched earth nation”.

She added that “the men in charge better hope they can keep their digital smokescreens running as long as they can” because “all hell is gonna break loose” if ordinary left-wing and right-wing people “realise they have the same enemy”.

Cain’s original post on Instagram stories, according to Billboard, external, shared a quote from former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich about the influence of powerful organisations like health insurance companies and oil and the National Rifle Association on Congress, and how “money in politics is the root of our dysfunction”.

Known for her provocative statements, she followed that with a post saying she wasn’t being reactionary or “edgy”, but that “I genuinely mean what I say”.

“Corporations giggle at protesting,” Cain wrote. “Why would anyone ever willingly come down off their throne that they’ve spent years building off the suffering of their fellow man?”

It was necessary to “make them fear for their lives and hit them in the only place they hurt”, she claimed.
