Charaty is disingenuous. it attempts to burden the working class by paying some of what little they have to alleviate the societal problems caused by wealth inequity and a system that putts profits for a few over the lives and well beings of those actually doing the work and their loved ones. If we had medicare for all then this poor beautiful child would well be taken care of. And All the money thats otherwise used to pad the pockets of people who spend more on a weekend vacation than you or i could earn in a dozen consecutive lifetimes could be spent on research and medical care thats often denied to bolster profits. Go guilt trip the insurance companies who are responsible for the deaths of 180 human beings on aberage every day due to claim denials. How many of them are children?
I’m just saying if you’re going to throw your money around on a cause, there are better options than Mangione. Insurance companies denied claims yesterday and they’ll deny claims tomorrow, you haven’t done shit about it.
Im not giving any money. Its winter and propane is $20 a refill lasting 3 days. Maybe ill send a christmas card I have some stamps lying around.
But the outpouring of support including people wanting to put money on mangione’s commissary is most likely due to the fact that many people have been thinking this for a while and if mangione is indeed responsible what he did was he said the quiet part out loud. And now the billionaires and their executive corporate pets are scrambling on pr and damage control to scold the rest of us for our irreverent response welcoming revolution and class war.
Instead of petulantly thinking that everyone has started supporting random murder, maybe actually consider the reasons Luigi gave for killing this man and that maybe it’s those reasons and not random street violence which people are supporting?
The situation is so dire, so many people are dying out of the greed of people’s profiting from the crazy system that murdering those people seems like a reasonable response.
Think about that.
What sort of a situation would result in murder actually being a reasonable choice? Because America is in that situation.
What sort of a situation would result in murder actually being a reasonable choice?
i can think of a few. Gary plauche notably.
true, good point, you could pay someone to kill someone, wait a minute…
(for legal reasons this is satire)
Unironically that would have more “impact” than paying Luigi’s commissary. Successful or not I’d rather assassins got paid than the private prison canteen.
