MAGA? Luigi is a right winger
I haven’t read his manifesto or anything but he seemed pretty much against fossil fuels and insurance companies, what are we basing his political association on?
So no.
No right winger is going out and following AOC or saying the stuff he did in his manifesto.
At worst he was a bit of a tech bro. Honestly he sounds like a shitlib that finally got radicalised into a leftist.
It’s complicated. His politics doesn’t seem to fit neatly in any box. If you wanted to pick out facts to paint him as too right wing for the right wing, you can do it. If you wanted to pick out other facts to paint him as the new coming of Weather Underground, you could do that, too. He’s also at a time in his life where your politics can shift around a lot, so posts from just a few years ago may not reflect where he is now.
I can say one thing with certainty: he hates people who are worth hating.
He was a right winger 2 years ago, he retreated from social media etc for a long while, so it might not even reflect his current views.
And if it does? Well, then he’d be a right winger and would have done more for class struggle than I ever did, and most likely ever will. Still very much worthy of respect, even as I’d disagree with most of his views.
I don’t give a shit.
This guy seemed a little iffy in his background - I would think quite a few of the right are celebrating this guy. It would make sense the elitists are trying to pacify that bunch, and try to paint this guy as some kind of leftist, though…they probably don’t want the base that has been groomed for violence to suddenly get ideas about a mass movement of vigilantes like this guy stalking and killing the billionaire class.
MAGA worship their billionaire overlords. And private Healthcare. Because the socialized programs many of them benefit from are from the devil.
They cannot stand the idea that people they hate might benefit, too.
I bet if they could find some way of justification via other means, for instance, over arguments of “socialism” vs. “capitalism”, they would find ways to make sure POC, liberals, women, gays, etc., do not benefit from the current system as well.
Of course, they really pine for someone - maybe donvict - that will let them do it out in the open, w/o the facade of “socialism” vs. “capitalism”.
Honestly, I think about the only outcome would be that the C-suites, the billionaire class and their apparatchiks just step up security. It’s not like murdering a handful of C-suite types or even their billionaire overlords will change anything. They’ll just swap in a new person that is just as willing to fuck everyone over. The billionaire overlords will just pass that money on to their foundation/offspring.
I think elmo already has a lot of security, yes? And remember how much he whined and threatened the guy that was just posting public data about elmo’s jet location?
Watter’s assertion that:
"He’s gonna get annihilated on the inside, and good.”
Is probably bullshit. To have the balls to walk up and ice the 21st century version of a vampire will be huge in prison. They hate corporate America just as much as we do.
I don’t think it is outside the realm of possibility that corporate interests would find a way to get another prisoner/guard to kill him. I doubt it would even be that difficult for them. They have so much to offer to a group of people who have been deprived of most things. solidarity to a cause only goes so far when your life is just suffering.
They absolutely have a vested interest in demonstrating to the public that people who kill members of their class will face terrible repercussions.
Trying to poison the right wing against someone who stood up for them and for all of us. And the sick thing is that it will work.
I went to r/conservative on Reddit just for fun and some of them are already flip flopping. Most are getting down voted to hell, but it was noticeable. But at the same time I wouldn’t be surprised if it was bots trying to turn everyone against each other, as is tradition.
The elderly at my job all are rallied against the guy. Been trying to explain to them regardless of how they feel it’s a lens into the public opinion.
Watching the media machines gears turn with this one are especially transparent.
If it is him, getting caught threw a wrench in the meaning of his actions. Before he got caught, the only news was about how evil the execs are. Now it’s all about him.
