One thing I find amazing is, initially, cheering him on was broadly bipartisan. After all, medical bankruptcy and denial of claims respects no ideology.
Then, pretty quickly, a new picture was painted that this was a problem of the left, and they've been running with it ever since.
I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. It's fairly common that when something happens there's an initial genuine response and then, within a day or two, the conservative media and the folks working the refs decide on how this is the fault of the left and floods the zone with it.
The ignorance of these self-described opinion-makers is pretty shameful.
When you cut off access to any reasonable means of redress, violence follows. Congress does nothing, State legislatures do nothing, the courts have been captured by the 1%.
Pick any past revolution and see what happens next.
I remember playing a game were the last boss, as described by a sorceress, was imortal and there was no way to truly kill him, but the catch was that he didn’t know he was imortal he thought his armor was indestructible so you “kill him” by puncturing his armor and making him think he was defeated
I guess this situation will not change things but it makes people realize that what is, for the time being, immutable, is their economic system not billionaires, they can die and because they are 1% they are surrounded by luigi’s from the gardener to their drivers
Violence is only allowed to happen when it is the rich imposing it on the poor. It is what some of the slaver aristocrats wanted 200+ years ago. Who are we to question their edicts?
You know, is it irony or poetry that when a guy who, as a chosen profession, reduced the lives and health of millions to numbers on a spreadsheet was murdered the public response was not to treat him as a person, but as an avatar for the wrongs of an entire healthcare system?
Systems are nothing without people. There is no Healthcare System elemental floating in the void that is conjured up into the world by some profane ritual. It's people making these decisions.
Well, he’s not a person any more, he’s a dead body. Also, are the superrich really people? They don’t seem to think we are. But I don’t think someone cracking jokes at the death of a barely-known head of a reprehensible outfit means they’re doing anything except letting off steam.
for a long time now I've been convinced this kind of shit is a cry into the future of "pwease let me live in the pod and eat the bugs! just look at my posts, I wasn't some commie freak, I loved your power all along~!" the death camps already exist, if only in their minds
Omg SO many young ppl online seem to think Goodness Goodsilva from the Great Lake Avengers is somehow ground breaking representation, all because Gen Z has never heard of Batman.
I send my kids to school every day fearing for their lives. Will my children's school be unlucky today? I have zero fear of a person like Luigi Mangione. It's a great question. how have we, as a society, become so indifferent to the death of a fellow human being? You have my thoughts and prayers.
Yeah and the way I see it Thompson is (indirectly, and partially) responsible for more deaths, and thus was a worse person than someone who killed one person
Perfection. Murder is bad, but seeing the rich and powerful quiver and scream because the thick shell of moneyed oblivion has been cracked enough so they can see a fraction of reality and they don’t like it has been one of the few small but real pleasures of the age.
Oh, and seeing these creeps slither and crawl on their bellies while sneering at the rest of us plebs is both distasteful and hilarious. I take what fun I can get.
We'll see who's laughing when the ghost of the CEO reads my posts defending him and gives me the same thanks that Dan Aykroyd got from that one lady ghost in Ghostbusters.

It's horsesh*t.
Hey I'm here to "rap" with you today about some pretty "jive" things you may be hearing about on social media...
Look, if Chris thinks he can just claim to be Greek or Spanish now, it ain't happening.
