ⓘ You can Bite your Friends.
You know, if CEOs want me to really care about CEOs getting killed by guns, maybe we shouldn't have spent the last couple decades making the US so numb to absolutely horrifying gun violence. I have reached the point where I can not cry when another round of kids in school are murdered with guns. No wonder I can feel vaguely amused when a sleazy millionaire who built his career off denying human rights and dignity is being murdered.
That being said, I don't want to be in charge of ranking who is most worthy of life and making the call on choosing who lives and dies.
Hmmm....You know who does want to be in charge of that?

how i look at my screen after y/n just got called kitten/puppy/bunny
NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to concerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson is the "real working class hero" of this story.
reddit deleted luigi's account, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. they're also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.
luigi yelled that this was "an insult to the intelligence of the american people" while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his life to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing "among us" with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin's disturbed psyche, ffs.
news media are also capitalizing on luigi's supposed "bizarre and impossible to understand" politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is... a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.
multiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from a rich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that's been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us "oh he's not like you guys" while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.
and all this, and he hasn't even been found guilty of the crime he's allegedly committed. luigi is, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he's becoming for low and middle class america.
Can we all just openly admit that we’re secretly cheering on the uhc ceo assassin and hoping he never gets caught?
Stop pussyfooting around. The man took out a prolific serial killer that was simply protected by enough company layers to manage to legally absolve his individual responsibility.
I don’t give a fuck about his blood money kids or wife. They knew what he did for a living.
If you think this is me condoning violence, get a grip and clutch your pearls elsewhere.
violent impulses are actually very healthy for girls. we must nourish girls’ desire to kill and maim
lol why on earth would you use a uterus as your feminist symbol that is so fucked up like
excludes trans women and in the same breath includes trans men
excludes cis women who don’t have uteruses
equates women to their body parts which is what the patriarchy does already so thanks for doing their work for them I guess
We the people.
