    In this case, I think of more like Guy Fawkes……there is clearly a problem with the us death care system. And we are right to be angry with these companies that profiteer on our sickness and in some cases that result in people dying from delayed or denied care. Is is right to murder someone? No, of course not. I think the question to ask is who is the real murderer?

    Thank you for posting this. I’ve been curious about what he wrote.

    Shorter than some git commit messages. I’m a fan.

    No, it’s not.

    It’s an acknowledgement that there’s a massive problem.

    These companies are literally willing to bankrupt you to death. Their behavior is inexcusable. They profiteer off of human suffering.

    We live in a country founded by people who were unhappy with the status quo and were willing to pick up a gun to change things. We shouldn’t act surprised that it still happens. I don’t think we should celebrate it, because it’s sad that this is happening in the first place, that someone feels they need to do this. This problem is solvable, and it can be solved civilly, or it will be solved uncivilly.

      Thats exactly how I feel “Its sad that this is looking like the solution”

      Like, it had to come to this? You couldnt just set up your little racket and keep the golden goose fat and happy? Or atleast adequately provided for and left alone?

    Anyone with half a brain can see that it isn’t “glorifying” violence, it’s merely giving an explanation of why Luigi did what he did. Glorification would play more into pathos, but the manifesto is mostly ethos

      the most dangerous thing to a government isn’t the people. it’s not the external forces.

      it’s an idea so relatable to the public that the government loses containment of it and it spreads like fire in a grainery.

    No, it’s not. But there’s a general fear that spreading manifestos of terrorists could cause people to believe them. They did the same thing with Bin Laden’s manifesto.

    For the record, I oppose this, it’s just that I can understand why this sort of thing is done.

    Reddit also thinks appealing a ridiculous van is harassment, so not exactly the brightest bulbs over there.

        I started to realize that the thing I liked about Reddit were the analytical and thoughtful people like me on the platform. When I came here, I found that many came over. When I visit Reddit, either because I’m nostalgic or because I have a specific need for something there, I’m finding more and more recent posts that are mostly filled with trash. Sure, some of the insightful, thoughtful and analytical people are still hanging around, but the vast majority has shifted away from that type of person. Reddit has also become so mainstream that is a stone’s throw away from xitter or Facebook in terms of quality. Everyone and their mother is starting a Reddit account.

        I miss when old.reddit.com was just reddit.com.

          I mean, stupidity and group think are just parts of having conversations in large groups as happens on these internet forums. I have not been impressed with the quality of intellect on Lemmy. But at least its not like Reddit where every mildly interesting subreddit has a minimum Karma count of like 30, and at least I’m not getting permabanned left and right over completely benign BS like saying I think Christianity is a net positive. I can say what I want here, and people can downvote it and I might even get mobbed… but at least I’m not being micromanaged.

    Of course not, it’s just Spez sucking up to the billionaires in the hope that one of them will be dumb enough to toss him a few million for his shitpile.

    Spez knows he is at the mercy of some of these same kinds of CEOs. Then again, Spez only cares about Spez and cares little of the Reddit community.

    See, then you are giving a murderer’s message publicity. As opposed to UnitedHealthcare, responsible for far more many deaths, having the ability to have as much publicity and as many lobbyists as they want.

      Alleged murderer.

      I think he is more than just the (relatively trivial) allegations against him. He has rallied support for massively reforming the American Healthcare system, which will save countless lives, improve our quality of life, and ensure the financial stability of the American Public.

        He has rallied support for massively reforming the American Healthcare system…

        I would disagree with this. Nobody is talking about health care reform. People are talking about destroying an economic system that creates billionaires, and also about destroying the billionaires themselves. This hasn’t been a call for reform, it’s a call to arms.

        The scariest thing is that people are beginning to accept that the system has always been rigged, and there is no other way to fix it.

        Robert Kennedy also did quite a bit of rallying on that front. Kennedy’s why I voted for Trump.
