"The road to fascism is paved with people telling you to stop overreacting"
I'll be so honest right now the thing I love about everyone not caring or congratulating the guy who downed the UnitedHealthcare CEO is that this will inspire other "copycats" if you know what I mean.
There are people who have nothing left to lose, people who want to make a mark in history, people who would want to be known nationwide, people who see through the NYPD's bluff and realize that they can get away with ending a CEOs life when everybody wants you to get away.
I'm not promoting anything! But this is something that has been seen time and time again in history, soooo
Hey y'all. Here's something for you.
I don't wanna be a downer, but it's pretty much inevitable at this point.
I know this isnt twitter to post our opinions, but I refuse to open it because my feed is flooded with nsfw.
What the actual hell are beast games??? Multi millionare seriously saw a show critizicing capitalism, and how people are willing to throw their humanity out the window to be degraded, mistreated, seen as disposable objects just to win some money and LITERALLY MURDERED and thought "yknow what, hell yeah. Lets make this irl." The lack of media literacy you have to interpret the show was that.

this luigi mangione situation keeps getting crazier and i fuckin love it.
...Based on recent events ^_^
Deny Defend Depose
So, recently ive seen that updates of the luigi mangione case hasnt been as spread as they were like in early january, and Idk but I think this is smth planned maybe by the us government bc we all know how useful it is that more ppl are educated about his case, bc eventhough there is still support this is apparently just thirst trap, and I, so, the fact that less and less ppl are understanding luigis purpose and just see him as a "hot criminal" definetly benefits the pillars of the economy (or the CEOs), and its is quite obvious how theyve manipulated media to their own benefit and it has worked, i dont think you all need sm examples but u can use germany in the middle 30s as reference, and well even non americans like me have seen so much the manipulation of the usa government towards their ppl and have seen how this isnt a hard task but it is effective and therefore dangerous.
Another thing that has terribly damaged his image is, again, how media has treated him, especially now that his trial just happened and they get to do whatever the fuck they want and to use him as they like, and I mean, ppl on average are not stupid to not know that killing is wrong, but in this circumstance we see that luigi was murdering a murderer, so this is in fact what ppl found sympathetic, even before his identity reveal, but just after we got to know him, media worked HARD to make him be seen as this cruel evil guy that had no feeling towards a father that did nothing but protect his family, which is so fucking fake, how many stories have we not heard about CEOs or men of his statue doing everything but being a father or a decent husband.
So, in conclusion, I think that atp of history we know enough to do the right decision of trusting or not the government and media and act on that. Nevertheless its NECESSARY that we keep supporting him and spreading info as we much as we can bc the aim of the prosecution is life imprisonment which would make everything he has done in vain.

Dedicated to the Sacred Cedars of the 1000 Paths Forest, the Wind, the Rain, the Seas, the Sun, the Moon, All Life, and the Stars. "To all things we give a special dedication. Fix my body, my soul, and my spirit! I give thanks for this day, this life, this world! And for all things! Don’t chop our world trees to build your church for in those trees is more of worth than all those rice paper sheets and your hollow voices in hallowed seats. I dwell neath the sky on the ground from whence I hear the sound Creation’s echo, reverberates in the swaying of the branches, the croaking of the crow the symphony of the frogs the reveling of the leaves In Spirits midst on that fine fresh wind, Whom the Insider has ceased to know. Out, Out with the secrets, let it not dwell in false rhetoric, but in the ineffable, inexpressible workings of this wide world, beyond the voices of old bones gone to rest."
rebellion is your obligation to the next 7 generations
I wanna fucking cry. I'm Korean and Puerto Rican. My family consists of African Americans, Koreans, Puerto Ricans, and Mexicans. I'm pansexual, some folks in my family are pansexual or bisexual. I'm a girl, among all of the other girls and women in my family. We're lower middle class, I have ADHD, and so do my other folks. I have Depression and Anxiety, like some of my other folks. My grandma is widowed and Jewish. My friends are from various groups. Some are trans, some are Muslim, some are Jewish, some are Afro-Latino, etc. What's gonna happen to us? I want to disappear. The world is melting. As kids, we were promised that we can be anything. Well, I wanna be dead. My daddy told me that the world was my oyster. I'm 18 now, and by the time I reached my age, we overfished the world. We pawned off all of the pearls that we had promised future generations for our unsustainable, insatiable, lust for a piece of silky paper with a president who killed thousands. I love my country. I love my country. I love my country. I want to leave my country. God bless the land that was never free for me. God bless the land that had gone against everything whatever God we believe in stood for. God bless the land that was built upon slavery, exploitation, rape, and murder. Yes, god bless this land that was never ours to begin with.
God bless this land that has been overdrilled, god bless these animals we have overkilled, god bless the mess of the U.S. God bless the lord that is the man in the church who told us what God said as his spokesman even though God never approved of his sins that poured out of his mouth like the wine that spilled all over the land. The wine of the rich that flooded our homes with a sour taste because the grapes they fed us weren't ripe for us. We can choke on the mold, because no grapes will turn to wine for us. Because nothing beats a fine wine. We aren't old money. Most of us aren't.
God bless our vinegar because we aren't from rich blood, so we could never bleed such a delicacy.

For more reason to support Mr. Mangioni, my local (big chain) pharmacy has stopped carrying my dad’s medication because it’s not profitable enough, and he’s currently on the phone about finding other places to get it, because the current minimum price to get it through our insured pharmacy is $600 a month, which is about the same price as my college tuition
I think there's something to be said that saying the words "Deny, Defend, Depose, you're next" to an insurance sales rep can get you arrested for 'threats of mass homicide' or whatever with a threat of 15 years in prison
But when I was a manager in a fast food restaurant I've had customers throw food at me, demand for my personal phone number with an added threat of "Well I'll just have to FIND it", customers charging past the front counter to physically intimidate me and my coworkers, screaming and swearing, demands to know what time I get out of work, demands to know when my manager would be at work as a threat, people sitting in their car waiting for me to finish closing because they were angry at me, causing me to stay in the office watching the camera waiting for them to drive away...
But none of those incidents are arrest-able offenses, not one, any time I called the cops on any customer I would just hear excuses like " "there isn't anything illegal about calling a restaurant", that nothing physical happened and therefore there's nothing they could do, to call back and let them know if anything else happens
Idk, just think it's A TEENY TINY BIT ODD
Cop in the news goes "words have consequences" as if people don't berate and threaten fast food and retail workers every day

Guys this isn't just a trend. While yes, he is hot. He stands for something more than that. He stands for someone who stood up for the working class and who gunned down an evil man. A man who profited off of millions of peoples misery and deaths.
KEEP TALKING ABOUT HIM! KEEP READING THE NEWS ABOUT HIM! KEEP SUPPORTING HIM! Never stop! This is important! We can't just forget what he has sacrificed for America...His freedom so we can have ours.
Or at least have a chance to fight back and gain our freedom from these insurance companies.
