funny thing luigi was originally a right winger before he shot the guy, guess the msm arnt going to reveal that fact that he was originally one of thier own.
I mean, to be fair, when I was younger my viewpoints changed as often as I changed my underwear
Yeah well I think I don’t have any real viewpoints which is also a viewpoint I guess. I just adopt things based on a whim or need. One day a commie, another ancap. Do these words mean anything anymore
I guess all that counts at the end of the day is how well off you are and clear conscience and the paths to achieve that are myriad
There is nothing honest I can say about Luigi because fundamentally I don’t care. Some American drama, another one in the long streak of news. There is no hate, there is no love. The only constant is indifference
Let’s talk about something interesting for once like color theory or classical paintings.
if ideologies feel like temporary costumes, maybe the real focus is the pragmatic pursuit of well-being and a clear conscience. The modern news cycle thrives on manufactured stakes, and indifference might just be the sanest response.
Don’t you all not feel burnt out from the constant outrage?
I don’t have any hard set-in-stone viewpoints either, to be fair. I feel like I have a set of core beliefs values, but otherwise I’m fairly impressioniable and feel differently depending on the specific topic. I never understood people who just label themselves by a specific ideology and then just base everything off of that.
I gotta say I feel a great deal of sympathy with what Luigi stands for though. Murder may be despicable, but if the common people don’t stand up against the unfair system no one will - and I certainly feel no sympathy for the victim. Especially in this Trumpian era of tech-fascists trying to turn all of humanity into slaves.
However, I do agree with your take. The news are designed for shock value and quick consumption. It’s not a meaningful pursuit - and I’ve personally spent too much energy on Trump… although it’s hard not to since I’m Danish and he wants to invade us…
Good luck with that singular thing lol. It’s just insane ramblings that will pass away leaving not even the dust
Most likely. But when the biggest military power in the world directly threatens you, you’d be stupid not to take precautions.
Remember: Nothing ever happens
Ehh, stuff definitely be happening. People also never thought that Russia would flat out invade Ukraine
Let’s talk about something interesting for once like color theory or classical paintings
No
Some American drama, another one in the long streak of news. There is no hate, there is no love. The only constant is indifference.
Don’t you understand this is the precise mindset that is powerless to resist fascism and in fact sets the table for it?
The point of the firehose is so you stop caring, congratulations you did it! Do you want a medal?
But it’s really hard to sympathise with anyone here. Someone killed somebody, somebody other killed someone other maybe, maybe not, depending on your beliefs and political stance.
People kill each other each day for myriad of reasons why is this particular case any more interesting?
Everyone has some kind of manifesto and stuff they really want someone to read. They think it is very important I am sure.
In the end it is just murderers doing the killing things not really that interesting unless you are into true crime in which case I prefer mysterious disappearances
Every month?
Sometimes every 2 or 3 months. Seemed like a reasonable time frame!
Nasty
Reminder: New York doesn’t have a Death Penalty on the books
One of the federal [emphasis mine] charges against Mangione, murder through use of a firearm, makes him eligible for the death penalty if convicted.
Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state charges.
That’s why they added the terrorism charges to his murder charges. That makes it federal, which means they can seek the death penalty.
They’re sitting on a working class revolt powder keg and they just lit the match ….lol
Being rich does not require you to be smart. That’s part of the problem.
The wealthy class in the US are heavily invested in military stocks. War benefits them, even if it’s civil war. This is probably intentional.
Maybe I’m too cynical or giving them too much credit. Hope we find out
You guys gotta realize that the military industrial complex and big Pharma and big oil are not big anymore. They’re not even as big as Facebook and Microsoft combined.
Big tech is who you need to be afraid of at this point
I expect more assassins targeting people who are not so high up on the facist totem pole. There was nothing special about Bryan Thompson, there are hundreds like him out in there. But he was high up enough for his death to matter. Honestly, he was like some dumb animal that got zapped climbing into a transformer.
The only way the current president can hang on for more than four years is to incite insurrection and then activate the insurrection act. All these ‘take it to the streets’ people might as well be shouting jump at a guy being pushed off a building.
if you assume that you’re defeated, then you probably are.
I am pointing out that invoking the insurrection act is the next step toward an outright American dictatorship, just like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_Fire_Decree
I assume a full blown dictatorship is going to be harder to fight, which is based on history. Your useless pithy little platitude is encouraging the next step. “You’ll never know if you can fly until you JUMP! Just JUMP!” go to hell.
cowards will not fare well with what must be done. sorry you don’t have the fortitude.
So you’re not even reading the words I’m saying? Do you just have a stack of these stupid one-line non-statements? Looking over your posting history it looks like you just want to shoot someone and are vapidly seeking an excuse to go run riot. Anarchy via armed idiots is very Jan 6 energy and will get you nowhere.
Luigi tactics are effective and that scares the pee pee out of the people running this shit-show. Running around in the streets shooting at random plays directly into their intentions.
Here let me pop out your next one-liner for you to save you some time; “I fully intend to throw the rabbit DIRECTLY into the Briar patch and if you disagree you’re a boot-sucking Nancy boy”
Luigi tactics are effective and that scares the pee pee out of the people running this shit-show
if this is effective then yippee. i’m just tired of protests and all the other limp wristed leftist shit that never accomplishes anything. the entire history of civilization is built on dominance through force. i’m just trying to get people to realize that. if you don’t like it, then get fucked. you were never an ally to begin with.
Oh so you’re eager to get to the part where the force starts happening REGARDLESS of timing or target? Gaza Oct 7th could tell you all about what happens when you march on a larger and more organized force without a backup or any plan for step 2; you lose and everyone you care about dies. That always seems like such a small price to pay for bloody minded sociopaths.
Don’t tell the little guy to punch the big guy 1:1 while you watch, you’re just looking for entertainment. You’re not a leader of men, you’re just another chunk of limpwrist shit telling people ‘lol go shoot someone or you’re a cuck coward’ with absolutely zero self awareness.
At least we can stop pretending we are civilized
Treating the uncivilized with civility simply legitimizes them in their own eyes. Be civil to the civil, take the rest out back for whipping.
if the people (THAT’S YOU AND ME BTW) don’t make them regret this, then the bullies won and this shit is all over but the generations of endless suffering under their eternal dystopia.
People aren’t starving yet, but recent changes may change that soon.
Without social security, food stamps, labor protections of any kind, functioning schools, healthcare standards, housing security, environmental protections, veterans benefits, unions and with mass unemployment and a whole lot of guns…….things will deteriorate quickly
The working class in America are so docile and subdued at this point that they won’t notice when all this happens.
Death penalty would take several years to happen and by then people will have forgotten. Only a couple of remaining groupies will make a fuss.
While I hope you’re wrong in general and fear you’re right about this specific outcome, I’m confident you’re at least partly wrong about the bigger picture.
Lessons not learned will be re-taught.
Nah man we still remember harambe. Never forget real hero’s. Dicks out for Luigi bois
My butthole is out for that handsome man.
i’m afraid this is true. i really am.
They are so fucking scarred, they want to give a message.
Scarred or scared?
I think it’s both.
If you could make God bleed, people would cease to believe in Him. There will be blood in the water, the sharks will come.
Yeah, both, double tap on mech keyboard
Not sure martydom has been historically successful from the point of view of the oppressor
people largely forgot about navalny, he fear if he stayed out of russia too long, his martydom would not be useful, and largely been ignored since his death. MSM is in cahoots with putin indirectly, so they wouldnt report him anyways.
It’s not sending the message they hope it is.
Plot twist; they are trying to make more Luigi’s.
100% this. We have actual murderers in prison for life who have killed several people. They’re still here and will be until they die.
This is 100% a message that rich people’s lives are more important than any of our lives. And they’re willing to kill to prove it.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat noooooooooooo, that can’t be right. Who other than every single person alive saw that coming?
Hopefully, they will televise it and trump will say “You’re fired” right before they pull the switch. That would be on par with the shitshow circus we live in these days.
Edit: added to the bit
Americans don’t have the balls, I’ll believe it when I see it. Unfortunately Americans are more likely to use their 2nd ammendment on themselves.
What I was thinking too.
Oh just like how the American private health insurer confidence scheme seeks the death penalty when their
customersmarks actually need life saving healthcare and become a threat to the capitalist’s quarterly metastasis expectations.Neat.
Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson – an innocent man and father of two young children
Innocent man my ass
19 and 16 are “young” children? Not to mention the fact that he was separated from his wife and his contact with them was limited. Unlike with hundreds, if not thousands, of parents he killed with his policy of denying coverage.
The obvious fellating of the ruling class by the mainstream media is annoying as fuck.
Who go you think owns the mainstream media?
Well, yeah. But they’re not even bothering to pretend to be a separate Fourth Estate any more.
How about a new rule… You don’t get to call them young children if you think that they are old enough to work long hours at a hazardous job without breaks, or that they are old enough (by 2 or more years!) to be married to a 60+ year old pervert. You lose all moral standing to call them “young children” if you do.
Nearly 26.6 million people in the U.S. rely on UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual through insured and self-funded plans. In addition, we serve more than 7.5 million people with care and benefits services outside of the United States.
Rather than hundreds to thousands, I’m going to go with thousands to tens of thousands.
Same aged kids are ‘practically an adult’ when congressmen traffic then.
Or when they commit a crime while black.
If they are in a warzone they are old enough to be hit with an airstrike without further identification because they are “military aged”.
That’s crazy they can actually say that he was an innocent man and actually believe it. The level of mindfuckery required for that is absolutely unfathomable.
They’re corporate shills.
I guarantee as that piece of shit bled out on the sidewalk, the words “why me?” didn’t cross his minds. He knew what he did to deserve it. He did deserve it, as do countless other greedy mother fuckers who are ruining the world for personal gain.
If anything went through his head other than possibly a bullet, it would not shock me at all if “why me” or “what did I do to deserve this” was there. No one with intact empathy or a conscience could do what he did. If he was capable of recognizing his failings he wouldn’t have been willing to earn his wealth by stepping on the necks of the sick.
Brian Thompson - unconvicted mass murderer and father of two grown children.
When it’s in pursuit of shareholder value, it’s not murder. /s
For which he thankfully received the death penalty.
Dig two graves Ms. Bondi.
Called it weeks ago. He’ll be long dead before then though. Almost certainly due to a prison shank. Mmw.
I think it’s more likely that he’ll hang himself, but I guess there’s a chance that he’ll stab himself dozens of times in the neck and chest.
I think everyone in prison likes him actually 😂
The cameras will call in sick to work that day.

Yep, I came to comment this. Honestly this could be pretty good news for player 2 - getting a jury to convict when the punishment is death will be much, much harder.
That’s true in state crimes, but federal prosecutions are actually very different.
Federal prosecutors have a lot more room to argue and in general the court tends to favor the prosecution much more.
The judge is responsible for sentencing (and Trump appointed a lot, guarantee he gets a Trump judge), while discovery is much more restrictive against the defendant.
Remember nothing about this will be a fair trial. This is going to be the most cooked trial you’ve ever seen in your life. Jurors will be downright threatened if not bribed.

That microcosm reflects the broader “This is terrible but i’m still too comfortable to do anything about it” mentality of the masses. The world is fucked and it’s all of our fault for letting a handful of people make things worse for all of us. We, including myself, are all guilty of this crime. We need to do something.
Trial starts and it’s just trump in the jury box. Because executive powers are made up and laws don’t matter.
Idk man, while I agree, I think the trump trials before the elections was the lowest point.
Homer voice: lowest point so far
This you shall offer in the morning and this you shall offer in the evening, one lamb without blemish.
I personally find the Leviticus 16:10 scapegoat quote to be more appropriate:
Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and offer it as a purification offering, but the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel.
Fuck you, Pam Bondi.
how to make a martyr
Unfortunately it feels like most IRL people I know have moved on from him 😔
This would be how you bring more attention to him than ever before. Also people are already really angry and prepared for violence if you look at the tesla fires. This would most certainly lead to a massive increase in militant action against companies, CEOs and politicians.
Nah he’s still loved, I’ve seen Luigi prayer candles and grafitti plenty, he still receives massive amounts of fanmail. When the actual trial starts the fans will come out more.
Honestly that’s really good to hear. He deserves all the support.
And when he gets executed, Americans will occupy a whole sidewalk! That’ll show em!
Getting Luigied is now part of my vocabulary
Every social media are blocking and censoring Luigi content. It’s by design.
I can say from experience that in at least some corners of social media, (LW for example) the removal of “Luigi content” is strictly because a large amount of it is advocations of violence/murder/assasinaion.
On many social media platforms, that type of content is against ToS because of the laws in the country that hosts the platform that the site is located in.
It has little to do with personal opinion and everything to do with staying within the legal threshold of the region to avoid being shut down.
Kill 24 normal citizens in a mass shooting in a Walmart, plea deal. Allegedly Kill 1 billionaire, death penalty
In Texas, you can shoot a guy in a wheelchair in between child molestations and the Governor while shake your hand while he pardons you.
I have zero idea whether this is sarcasm or not.
Abbott, who can only issue clemency on the recommendation of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, called for Perry’s pardon a day after he was found guilty.
Thats fucking crazy. Every single time I think the US can’t go further, I’m wrong. For like… the past 15 years.
You: the US can’t go any further
The US: challenge accepted!
Until of course the guy in the wheelchair is the Governor.
Governor Hotwheels
NYC doesnt have death penalty, so its unlikely he will get one. they want at least life or manslaughter charges on him.
He’s been indicted on state charges in NY, and also Federal charges, so he will be tried twice for the same crime, no matter what the NY trial decides. He can’t be executed for the NY state charges, but he can be executed by the Feds.
So conceivably he could be found not guilty in NY, and still get executed by a Federal court.
I don’t think he was a billionaire. But his job was a nasty one that did please billionaires.
He was nasty. No one who isn’t could have done that job.
Indications seem to be high 8 to low 9 figs. There is a fucking ocean between “not billionaire” and “average guy”. Also, obligatory fuck Brian Thompson.
Fuck him indeed. He got what was coming to him. I had no idea who he was until he was shot and I instantly hated him.
thompson was a low level ceo, but still he implements the denial policies. the head ceo is ANDREW WITTY, and the bod is hemsely, both british. WITTY made those asinine comments about the healthcare after his death
