1/

The upcoming Law & Order episode Folk Hero is about a young man who shoots a health insurance CEO in broad daylight in NYC.

Will it be another hit piece to poison the public perception of Luigi Mangione?

When I saw the killer isn’t cute I realized it will NOT!

Why?!?

Me neither (I feel sad for him), but I did laugh at one of these posts today, because of how ironic it is. They try to make him look like a dangerous criminal who could take out someone in this courtroom with his bare hands by shackling him up like that, but it‘s backfiring again.

I imagine it would be something like this but healthcare: “I have only a short time to live, only one death to die, and I will die fighting for this cause. There will be no peace in this land until slavery is done for.“– John Brown, Kansas Territory, 1856.

Maybe it‘s related a bit.

Some CEO or billionaire maybe, I wouldn‘t be surprised.

I would be more curious about Hitler‘s approval rating in the US - like has it gone up or down since Musk started rewriting history with him as a communist?

I think this one is worth sharing, website created by Luigi Mangione‘s legal team for info and FAQ about his case.

A comment from a TikTok moderator on Reddit about why content about Luigi Mangione is being censored and how. He was designated as a Hate Entity and videos that aren‘t counter speech are removed.

On Reddit an ex TikTok mod came out to confirm content on Luigi Mangione is being suppressed and how it‘s done.

That is one source (2 of 3 in the gallery), if you reverse image search it with tineye you can find it on quite a few news websites.

That or writing a letter to his representatives.

He also lives in a lot of people‘s heads now.

In my dreams.

What I think is funny is some of those who think badly of him tend to say he "shot him in the back like a coward", so in your fantasy scenario would they support him?

Been in class war on a global level for hundreds of years. Working class taken loss after loss with no improvement in sight. We might see the first trillionaires within our lifetimes. To achieve this our planet is depleted of resources. 6th mass extinction in progress. Media asleep.

They are on AO3 and they already were there before he was revealed to be the (alleged) killer and still nicknamed as "The Adjuster".

February 17 is when his next federal court appearance is. I think January was a possibility, but it has been set to this and February 21 for state court.

Link to the case, Document 8/9 are those setting the date for federal court.

This Luigi Mangione edit got deleted on TikTok, I wonder how it‘ll fare here?

Murder: luigi mangione, legal murder: denied UHC claims

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

A cross-national study by Gurr and Duvall (1973) confirms these views and has indicated that the magnitude of civil conflict varies according to the extent of maldistribution of economic well-being and political autonomy within a society.

This is IMO the root of this argument.

It‘s gotta be this:

The Evolutionary Underpinnings of Mangione's "Heroism" Thoughts on Why Some Responded Viscerally to Luigi Mangione's Alleged Actions

ashelby.substack.com/p/the-evolut...

A great post I‘ve found explaining the positive reaction to Luigi Mangione.

Interesting, my thoughts are too long for these short form comments, but I feel like Sartre would GET it - I‘ve recently reread some articles like "Sartre on Violence and Terror" - on the response: it’s the unity of the discontented. I would love his thoughts on how online discourse plays in.

Ja, aber ich glaube du hast DMs ausgeschaltet

David Buckel* sorry. His case especially hurt me a lot, cause of how considerate he was to even apologize with a letter to those who had to see the remains.

Wynn Bruce and David Bucket too… they are still on my mind, because they did it for climate change which affects all of us worldwide.

He had a huge digital footprint, they‘re just taking everything down. I think it‘s to stop more people from sympathizing, cause like his Reddit comments make him seem so nice. Someone on Reddit made an archive and I downloaded it before their sub was banned. Can DM you if you want.

There‘s a man tying people to tracks that trolleys drive over, he‘s paid well for it and managed to increase the numbers. This practice is normalized in society. You can shoot him, but someone else will take over and you go to prison. This brings awareness and possible change, but you don‘t know.

I want to add an entry for a rocket - both Bezos and Musk are obsessed with them, so it could come in strong as the largest wealth redistribution event in the 21st century

Martyr: person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principle

That‘s probably why the Christ/Saint iconography. Lately there‘s a lot of this in the US, like the self-immolations. It feels tragic, all this suffering, pushing people to the brink.
