In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero.

By which he means all over the fucking country, which is unfortunately so covered in darkness there are no bright corners left.

Luigi is a global hero. I'm European and think most people of the world can relate since they experience the same consequences of (ruthless) capitalism.

[–] shaggyb@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

America is indeed one hell of a dark corner.

In some dark corners, in some light corners, hell there's a dude over there hailing him as a hero right now.

Although I don't approve violence, trend today everywhere is that countries are run like companies and common folk, especially poor ones, are considered as "garbage it the way". Export industry being the nearest and dearest.

There should be a way to return the societies focus back to citizens. By the time AGI comes along this should be fixed or common people will be royally fucked.

I approve of the defense of innocent people against powers that aim to kill them.

Violence is justifiable when the alternative is to be killed.

UHC kills innocent people. That's their business model.

I approve of the defense of innocent people against powers that aim to kill them.

Agreed. I see no difference between murder and institutionalized murder.

Ok......why not just register https://www.luigimangione.info/

Am I the only one who's hearing someone withdraw money from the ATM machine?

.com is usually cheaper and people know it better.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Since when is .com cheaper than .info? I've always thought .com was generally the most expensive TLD.

[–] Plagiatus@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Lol not even close.

It's not the cheapest, sure, but there are a lot that are a lot more expensive, like .io or .shop

One of the few people standing up for their fellow Americans. A true patriot surrounded by people with an addiction to greed.

It would be preferable if we didn't have to murder CEOs to stop them from destroying our lives but they are sort of forcing our hands here.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

It would be nice if they paid attention to the overwhelming pop culture references of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s that referenced struggle.

The audacity that the most powerful and richest of the dumbs dumbs adopts psy-punk like it isn't a reference to oligarchs and shitty decisions with power and money tells me he is just shallow asshole that thinks he knows more than those that read them.

Gibson, Orwell, Stephenson, Moore, Palahniuk, Bradbury, and many others wrote fantasies that encapsulated these notions and yet it falls on deaf ears. They are indeed forcing our hands.

They see these villains and go "damn they look cool" and never think "maybe he's an asshole" with some self reflection.

Luigi Mangione, actual sexiest man alive.

The article says that some man said people "in dark corners" herald him as a hero. I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners? lol. clown man.

I went to the donate page, and it has a pray button. Wtf is this shit? Now I've seen everything

Givesendgo is a right-wing christian crowdfunding site. So a “thoughts and payers” option is right on the nose.
