How’s that? It seems very political to me

Unless we’re doing a “I didn’t see nothin” bit, that’s cool too

Luigi didn’t make any political demands. He just said this CEO was a bad man and so he killed them.

No specific demands, but this was absolutely not only about the man Brian Thompson, and very much about larger political and economic issues in the country.

…If the manifesto is to be believed, anyway. I understand not everyone trusts the veracity/provenance of it, and that’s a reasonable doubt to have.

I saw the Manifesto and I didn’t see any socioeconomic political theories, just an apology to the police but “it had to be done.”

If it said “The system of privatized health insurance is evil as a result of failure of legislation to restrain the actions of an industry” THEN that would be political, but it didn’t say that at all.

it’s not political because politics shouldn’t have anything to do with healthcare.

kinda depends on your definition of politics

the one I heard that I think is the most useful is, On the broadest level, Politics is how societies decide how and where resources are distributed

by that definition, healthcare can only be a political question, cus no matter how you set it up, you’ve made a decision about how it’s staffed and funded, who it caters to and what its goals are

You say “shouldn’t”, but until that’s true, it does
