This whole thing is fake and gay.

Certainly not moreso than your comment.

You're also fake and gay

cunninglingus[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 month ago

Are you trying to find 'fake and gay' people on the interwebs?

So that's how the rich Republicans and thier delusional followers will spin this. Let's worship and feel sorry for the mega rich, the CEOs of companies that make $22 billion annually while refusing a third of their insured customers the insurance those customers were promised and have paid for, while those millions of customers who were refused their rightful financial support have suffered extremely, gone into insurmountable medical debt and in many cases have died of their untreated or poorly treated problems, passing on their massive medical debts to family members.

If Republicans want to support the abuses and injustices of the ESTABLISHMENT, why did they promise their supporters the Repuplicans were personified in Trump, who would supposedly take on the establishment.

We know that Republican pay-to-play corruption has since the Reagan era increased profits for CEOs and the mega rich, while the 99% languished in increasing squalor.

If you and Republicans would like to keep your promises to challenge the establishment, then you shouldn't be bothered by the super rare death of a CEO at the hands of the suffering masses.

There is no longer a 'left' and a 'right'. There is rich and poor. Guess which one of these groups need to get off of their asses and fight for their rights.

The left is controlled by the rich more than the right.

cunninglingus[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun 1 month ago

The left have diverse interests and are thus difficult to control. The right are famous for following their fascist leaders.

Hence there are different ways in which the 'rich' have controlled both groups and the centrists.

The one problem we all share is that corrupt wealthy assholes have for decades reduced the standards of living for the 99% by hoarding wealth at the expense of everyone else.

Nonsense. This claim can be made about every group. It is the similarities that matter not the differences. If a group as absolutely nothing in common except one thing they can still be manipulated by that one thing.

Yes, but some are worse than others. Right now we have a jewish plutocracy and historically non jews governed by jews fair worse than anyone.

Baseless slander. It says a lot about you.

He's a radical leftist.

And as I've noted in reply to Musky, here: Notice also that Luigi is not the 'leftist' that Ted Cruz and Fox are trying to make of him. Look at his Xitter account and you'll see his hatred of all things Woke, and his praise for Tucker Carlson and mostly right-leaning, slightly nihilistic, tech bro-y takes concerning AI, mental health, altruism, ancient history, and society in general. Mangione follows Ezra Klein, Sam Altman, Edward Snowden, and Robert F. Kennedy, among others. He's not so different from Saiditors.

I’ve read nothing that indicates he’s leftist. So far it seems like he got a severe back injury and the pain made him go crazy. Up till them he seems like a preppy kid, into computers, crypto, and generally a nice kid.

WoodyWoodPecker 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 month ago

He is a vigilante not a hero, more like an anti-hero like Deadpool.

Discussion of Luigi's X account

His valedictorian speech

Far more important than CEOs

A ghost gun?

High IQ guy goes into McDonald’s and sits down. Genius move…not.

cunninglingus[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 1 month ago

A high IQ (and severe back pain) doesn't necessarily help with common sense; indeed there's sometimes an inverse ratio of IQ to practical intelligence.

MagicMike 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun 1 month ago

Yeah, he wasn’t street smart: he should have prepped a hideout well in advance. Also shouldn’t have unmasked hoping to get some pussy.

cunninglingus[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 1 month ago

lol

We can assume that he isn't that "smart" simply because murdering a CEO isn't going to accomplish anything constructive anyway. They'll just get another CEO.

MoverOfSedition 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 month ago

Correct, but you know, "CEO bad" 'til the bitter end.

Expect you'll see the spin of "ivy league university brainwashed him with communism" fairly soon.

Bits of his stuff is popping up in my feed now. Here's one I found.

https://x.com/mrjeffu/status/1866302460912108000

He doesn't seem quite as totally insane as like the school shooter types, but I don't think he's that smart. His takes here are very #iamsmrt level. It's like if you went to New York city and claimed the biggest peoblems facing America were the Elmo impersonators charging tourists for photos.

Very typical of the American college educated imho, they think they know everything about something with minimal exposure simply because they know more than the average prole but it's like, they miss the big picture and don't realize they're in their own bubble as well.

At any rate the guy is clearly intelligent but doesn't seem to be particularly, what's the word, self thinking? Deep thinking? Seems pretty shallow.

The heroic act has already accomplished so much - bringing much needed attention to the obvious abuses of the US insurance and healthcare industries. Americans need to think more about the abuses of Big Corp. He helped make that happen.

UnitedHealthcare made $22 billion in profit last year, while they refused an estimated one third of the submitted claims, supposedly more than other insurers.

The shooter is a vigilante and will suffer for his crime, but the benefits of his actions far outweigh the consequences. According to his valedictorian speech in 2016, he's well aware that he'll be remembered for taking a stand against the horrific abuses of the insurance industry.

CEOs of major insurance companies are arguably guilty of so-called white-collar [legal] crime: where a third of their insured patients suffer and die because of rejected claims, while the company profits by $22 billion/year. Americans are not addressing this problem. One vigilante addressed it in a manner that brings much needed attention to the injustices of the insurance industry.

Nonbinaryandroid 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 month ago

I disagree. He's not addressing the problem or drawing awareness to it. Americans are already very aware of how bad the insurance industry is as their reactions to this murder betray, but the only thing that this act drew any attention to is the manhunt. When all is over it won't accomplish any positive changes. About the only things I see coming from it are some token stricter regulations on 3d printers and probably more corporate spending on security (which ultimately will be a cost passed down to the end user).

I think it's a shame because despite this guy being a bit of an idiot it seems he is willing to actually go out and do something which makes him better than most lazy internet users who are all talk. The problem is he decides to do the one thing that doesn't accomplish anything of value and removes his freedom to make any meaningful contributions to the cause in the future.

As I said CEO are easily replaceable. Worst case scenario you make him a martyr, best case you just increase the operating security cost of CEO going forward. Nothing positive is gained. This is coming from the guy who thinks fleshlights from the Japanese equivalent of Walmart are responsible for the Japanese population crisis after he wandered into the adults only section on vacation. I'd say at best we're looking at a sheltered intellectual type suffering from institutional brainrot and a lack of "real world experience" rather than the typical school shooter social outcast projecting their rage at something closer and more familiar, but regardless I don't see his actions as accomplishing anything of value.

I've said it before but anyone smart enough to committ murder and get away with it is also smart enough to know that murder doesn't accomplish anything positive for them. Which is why you rarely see politically motivated murders by smart people who don't make a lot of retarded mistakes like this guy did. They know there's better ways to accomplish their agendas than gunning down someone easily replaced within a month.

Give me one specific example of an unfairly rejected claim that can be traced back to the CEO.

No - if you look at Luigi's Xitter account, you'll see his hatred of all things Woke, and his praise for Tucker Carlson and mostly right-leaning, slightly nihilistic, tech bro-y takes concerning AI, mental health, altruism, ancient history, and society in general.
