Like, I don’t condone/advocate murder and I don’t think it’s going to change anything. But like I’m DEFINITELY not upset. The guy is probably responsible for more deaths than you can count. It’s hard to blame one person getting angry enough to react to that.

dvagez.bsky.social•143 days ago

Am I allowed to say I condone this murder, or is that too callous?

alexcs22.bsky.social•143 days ago

Sometimes I wish you speak Spanish and recommend putomike chanell to you. He is an archeologist too and do pretty good videos in YouTube. But he is from Spain and the videos are in Spanish...also he do a little of drag in those videos

ladymalishun.bsky.social•143 days ago

I love how people are like "noooo he was a real person with real person feelings!!!!!!"

Bold of you to assume the man who profits off of people's suffering has any real person feelings.

sorrycap.bsky.social•143 days ago

Everyone needs a folk hero. Didn't expect this one to be so good looking.

historianwannabe96.bsky.social•143 days ago

I would have been harsher with people's response but the way Trump won and with people with similar or worse opinions, I no longer care. Let's stop with the high ground

projectd20.bsky.social•143 days ago

randomtgirl.bsky.social•143 days ago

What a piece of news to wake up to, I for sure won't be grieving, let me tell you that

astralfire2183.bsky.social•143 days ago

Wait I’m confused who died? /gq

United Healthcare CEO was assassinated

marychelle.bsky.social•143 days ago

I have never seen the country so unified in its opinion

newpeace.bsky.social•143 days ago

Love your content Milo, battling misinformation is a noble goal I think you have. Doesn’t take away from your message but your billionaire label is off. Brian Thompson had a net worth of 42 million. https://www.distractify.com/p/brian-thompson-unitedhealthcare-net-worth

baileypipes.com•143 days ago

42 million is how many people he's let die. He made like 300 something million last year. 4th largest company in the US.

baileypipes.com•143 days ago

I might be thinking of a different CEO. But UnitedHealth care is responsible for more deaths than any world leader. And they've spent over 100 million to lobby the government to change laws in their favor. For profit health care doesn't work

gseus.bsky.social•143 days ago

Still profited off the deaths of poor people, I think the amount of money doesn't matter lmao

newpeace.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yeah thats why I said it doesn’t impact the message. Misinformation is what allows the US to not introduce a proper government option.

Perpetuate the system by embracing misinfo tho

fiddlerssgreen.bsky.social•143 days ago

Okay. And?

newpeace.bsky.social•143 days ago

The guy who makes videos about debunking lies should not say incorrect things

fiddlerssgreen.bsky.social•143 days ago

That's a bit pedantic my guy. Like, hey guys. The dude that made millions (not billions 🤓) out of other's suffering got Thomas Wayned.

newpeace.bsky.social•143 days ago

Taking the extra 10 seconds to google a basic fact is not hard. Learn about the world instead of calling me pedantic.

moonmelons.bsky.social•143 days ago

The dude that had an AI that was denying coverage to people at TWICE THE STANDARD RATE of an industry that regularly brings in nine figure yearly profits wasn't even a billionaire?

Damn, evil AND stupid.

moonmelons.bsky.social•143 days ago

Did I say nine figure?

Sorry.

I meant twelve.

newpeace.bsky.social•143 days ago

Listen. I never disputed your message.

My only angle in this thread was that Milo simply stated an incorrect fact. My criticism is that he is an influencer who’s brand is debunking conspiracy using research and facts

He should be consistent in telling the truth. Even if its about people we hate.

moonmelons.bsky.social•143 days ago

Oh I'm just saying it's amazing someone can do that metaphorical selling of their soul for money and still not even get that much money out of it.

drfudgecookie.bsky.social•143 days ago

Does that include assets though? If not it would be hard to say for sure that he is neither a multi-millionaire or a billionaire since you know how rich people are with their assets.

jawsgst.bsky.social•144 days ago

💯

salsasharkjr.bsky.social•143 days ago

Every new detail feels like reading a spy thriller

Like, what do you mean he used a forged Jersey ID to bus in from Atlanta ten days before the hit? AND he didn't leave a digital trail?? Even John Wick wasn't this thorough

lincolnthenerd.bsky.social•143 days ago

Exactly, it’s a cool af story 😭.

nochethedog1.bsky.social•143 days ago

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t support killing someone in almost any case, but I’d also be lying if I said I was in grieving. I do feel bad for his kids, losing their father during the holidays. But, every cent that goes toward is funeral came from someone else’s.

graveyardshiftpod.bsky.social•100 days ago

We can only hope it's not the last. We need more scared oppressors.

coquiconchair.bsky.social•143 days ago

Any smart politicians would use it to push for universal healthcare. Will they? No

acewizardnz.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yeah I've hardly seen anyone sad about his death. A few people but mostly even conservatives are like "this guy was a piece of shit".

unicornshark.bsky.social•143 days ago

Class struggle is the universally understandable issue. The crazy thing is that politicians always fail to win people over anyhow.

If you've seen that man... No you didn't!

yummihamburgers.bsky.social•143 days ago

Second healthcare CEO ive heard assassinated, and second "internet's favorite assassination", with Abe's death not that long ago.

Wild, scary, crazy world to live in.

marcmfs.bsky.social•143 days ago

1st: caveat, I don't support murder. BUT 2nd and more: the 0.1% has been waging war against everyone else, and doing predatory behavior on the vulnerable, including children,sick,poor, disenfranchised. I have no empathy for this man or any of his ilk

Kinda harshing the vibe here, Socrates

marcblochead.bsky.social•143 days ago

In fairness, Socrates has been out of the game for a few millennia. Once he catches up on the discourse on 'Social Murder' for a little context I'm sure he'll come around.

dehn94.bsky.social•143 days ago

Well I’d love to get treatment but unfortunately united healthcare doesn’t cover that

fiddlerssgreen.bsky.social•143 days ago

More that anything else, I'm just confused.

pagedmajofficial.bsky.social•143 days ago

People kept saying "eat the rich" "eat the rich", someone finally did it. Bon appetite.

enejjohhem.bsky.social•143 days ago

a11ychief.bsky.social•143 days ago

And it’s not even the rich thing, it’s just that last bit. My friend built a crazy successful company and invented corporate health cover for transgender body dysmorphia, I don’t hear many things about people wanting to take him out. Well, maybe to dinner :)

taeerom.bsky.social•143 days ago

I think it's good that we don't know anything about the dude. Everyone projects their own image of him, making him palatable for them. Let's hope we don't find out he's actually a pos until some trucrime pod in the 2170's or something

kamjustme.bsky.social•143 days ago

I really shouldn't be surprised, considering your stance on the US government as a whole, but it's nice to see nonetheless.

nebulaowner.bsky.social•143 days ago

I am a little suspicious as to how the shooter knew that he would be there and when. I am more inclined to believe that someone from the rich side of things was paying for this.

hrathcie.bsky.social•143 days ago

The CEO was there for a conference so his whereabouts weren’t super hard to guess. As for the timing, the shooter was hiding behind a car until he showed up

marcmfs.bsky.social•143 days ago

I agree with you that this isn't likely to have been some rich person paying somebody else to do the job. But this guy really did plan this very carefully. So I suspect he had more information than just location. He probably had timing as well

nebulaowner.bsky.social•143 days ago

The shooter had a suppressor for the gun which suggests a professional. And the police said that the shooter arrived only a few seconds earlier. This wasn't a rage killing.

discordantmuse.bsky.social•143 days ago

Vigilantism against social murder is self defence.

amatorah.bsky.social•144 days ago

We’ve been needing a new folk hero. Bankers are so depression era.

sephirivers.bsky.social•144 days ago

The Billionaires have lived high on the hog, thriving on their class unity. It’s shouldn’t take murder to knock them down a peg. There shouldn’t be a new murderer in the world for the long-murderers to realize they’re mortal as well. The hope is that things change, I hope they do.

peterdrench.bsky.social•143 days ago

Dude, celebrating or being happy that someone getting killed is kind of low-class.

rustbeltred.bsky.social•144 days ago

Weird to see neo confederates cheering it on. I'm still holding up a cardboard sign that has SCOREBOARD written in black paint at them, but it's interesting to see them on the correct side for once

raccoon-overlord.bsky.social•143 days ago

Not surprised. Regardless of political persuasion, most of us are getting fucked by billionaires. This has a potential to turn everyone's attention to actual enemies of the people....

miniminuteman.bsky.social•144 days ago

Definitely unexpected but I guess even a stopped clock is right twice a day!

marcmfs.bsky.social•143 days ago

It is not unexpected if you listen to the regular people who compose the populist movements. Not the politicians trying to get power off them. The mistake liberals have done for decades, is not actually talking to the individuals. Instead they look for scapegoats like Nader, or demographic xyz

star-bit.bsky.social•143 days ago

Let's hope that they are on the right side again, when something even bigger happenes.

irongiant131.bsky.social•143 days ago

Honestly this is unrelated but this comment reminds me of something

rocketsquid.bsky.social•143 days ago

dude legit wrote his hate mail game on his own shell casings bro was mad as fuck

adamscottglancy.bsky.social•143 days ago

I don't want to normalize killing CEOs. I just want to normalize the talking heads on TV saying the same things about dead CEOs that they say about any black kid shot by the cops.
"Hey, the game is the game, player."
"He was no angel."
"Guys in that life know what they're getting into."

youkilledchurch.bsky.social•143 days ago

Closest thing I have seen to cross aisle unity since that first week of Covid

fairygothparent.bsky.social•144 days ago

class consciousness is on the horizon! a new day for us all!!

anunir.bsky.social•143 days ago

I suspect it will get much worse before it gets better. But who knows? The #MeToo movement was in part kickstarted as a response to Trump's first term, when we realized there wasn't anything we could do about that man, but we didn't have to put up with all the other shitheads.
