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.

Reasons mean fuck all, I’m a consequentialist.

Yeah well let’s check back in ten years and see what the consequences were. The global society, or even just the American society, is pretty large. Things which change in populations of hundreds of millions don’t happen instantly.

We know there’s a strong reaction from the corporate class, vis-a-vis added security, charging the woman who quoted Luigi, etc etc. We also know that Luigi has immense support behind him.

And you don’t see that as being a developing situation? You’ve just called it that “nothing happened his actions meant nothing”? I’m starting to feel like you’re some corporate troll. I’m not saying you are, but your breath clearly smells of boot-leather.

Well the consequences of our health care system has you arguing in bad faith about donating to children’s hospitals being a moral spend of money.

Arguably, it perpetuates the system.

Oh there’s lots of situations.

The point being that when you’re in a situation where it is, it’s already pretty desperate. So no arguing needed here, this just having happened is enough evidence to point to how fucked capitalism is.

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.

im guessing paying him commissary is only going to cause more problems in prison anyway. Money is a hard to get item in prison.
