People who say shit like this are not revolutionary and don’t have friends.

The biggest problem with most of you is you think Kendrick Lamar is your revolutionary friend.
Luigi Mangione is your revolutionary friend.

He’s just Kyle Rittenhouse for lefties.

False equivalence.

God there’s a lot of left leaning people looking for their own version of the “Leopards Eating Faces” party.

It's also just plain wrong. Luigi's actions didn't inspire any revolution it just made it harder to access and oppose those responsible for the harms the American health industry continues to inflict.

No one ever seems to want to acknowledge that the middle class is what keeps capitalism afloat. Someone has to be consuming all of these fucking pointless products we make.

Refer to my pinned thread when encountering wannabe revolutionaries

Is he good because he killed someone or he’s good because he didn’t kill someone and it’s all a conspiracy?

godhatesyeast.bsky.social•7 days ago

he’s not

he’s an idiot

green496.bsky.social•7 days ago

I can agree with the first half, but the second half… hoo boy

citizensullivan.bsky.social•7 days ago

The Cosplay Che crowd.

Luigi revolutionized [lemme check my notes] 'keeping ample evidence of your crime on you at all times'

final-stats.bsky.social•6 days ago

He shot the guy five blocks away from the Hudson. You know, the river where criminals throw evidence of their crimes away in? Kids today need to stop bucking every old tradition, there's wisdom in them sometimes.

They don't need friends, because they're dark, brooding edgelords! !! ! ! !! !

Only two qualities of a revolutionary according to these people:
-conventionally attractive, i.e. they’d fuck the dude
-murders civilians

It’s the Che Guevara problem all over again

eduardogoldman.bsky.social•7 days ago

Kendrick Lamar is more enriching to my life than any Luigi ever, within the history of the known world, fictional, factual, or factional.

carriagereturn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Isn't LM just a vaguely right winger with a grudge? Like, didn't he have a whole manifesto or was that something I'm remembering incorrectly.

dattil.io•7 days ago

He allegedly did nothing wrong

carriagereturn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Huh? That's not what I asked.

dattil.io•7 days ago

He was more of a techo bro with a chronic illness, who's manifesto boiled down to "these motherfuckers deserve it"

And he's not wrong

ammathor.bsky.social•7 days ago

He wasn't even covered by UHC and his insurance paid for the entirety of his back surgery to the point where he was singing there praises on social media.

dattil.io•7 days ago

and what he wrote said that UHC is one of the biggest corporations on the planet while people are being denied care

Why are you defending them?

carriagereturn.bsky.social•7 days ago

That still doesn't address what I asked.

figgityfigs.bsky.social•7 days ago

Dude’s just got a nihilistic bloodlust and thinks it’s revolutionary politics.

I'm struggling to think of any case where assassination made things better in the end.

drobertsimg.bsky.social•7 days ago

Maybe?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Heydrich

rlux.nyc•7 days ago

By the time he was killed, the Holocaust was already in full swing, so I'm not sure how much better his death made anything.

drobertsimg.bsky.social•7 days ago

Right. Hence the “maybe?” And a few villages got leveled in response, also bad.

That said, he was one of Hitler’s more competent strategists and eliminating him likely shortened the war somewhat.

Either way, Anthropoid is a fantastic movie. Absolutely fantastic.

misctakes.com•7 days ago

that's not even my main issue with it. It's reducing everything to spectacle and treating politics as a performance of taste.

misctakes.com•7 days ago

the infantile parasocial stuff is a cherry on top

rlux.nyc•7 days ago

Actually I just thought of one. Roosevelt becoming POTUS after McKinley's assassination.

johnlk.bsky.social•7 days ago

Caligula and Dominican are solid cases for assassination. Huey Long, maybe?

johnlk.bsky.social•7 days ago

/Domitian. Stupid autocorrect.

fresnofred.bsky.social•7 days ago

Luis Miguel Sanchez Cerro, Rafael Trujillo. Somoza, maybe.

johnlk.bsky.social•7 days ago

Does Heydrich count as an assassination? Yamamoto?

fresnofred.bsky.social•7 days ago

There's an argument to make that assassinating Heydrich, while deserved, didn't really make things "better."

green496.bsky.social•7 days ago

Shinzo Abe’s assassination

rlux.nyc•7 days ago

His assassination occurred after he left office so killing him didn't change anything for the better. It was revenge.

green496.bsky.social•7 days ago

Not quite, the Unification Church still had many ties to the LDP, and the actual politicians in power cut a lot of those ties as a result of the negative publicity from the assassination:
