    Really telling that you pretend to care about “awareness” of a problem and at the same time don’t care about saving lives like this one:

      Oh fuck right off. Murdering more health insurance CEOs would save that child, not “donating” to the hospital.

      Fuck for profit healthcare. Time to human sacrifice more CEOs into the volcano until things change.

        That child literally will not be saved by removing CEOs. Even if you somehow magically make it virtually impossible for a New CEO to take their place with a nonexistent army, the funding needs to be distributed to the hospital and killing CEOs doesn’t make that happen.

        Electing Democrats and Independents makes that happen. Removing Republicans from congress makes that happen.

      Charaty is disingenuous. it attempts to burden the working class by paying some of what little they have to alleviate the societal problems caused by wealth inequity and a system that putts profits for a few over the lives and well beings of those actually doing the work and their loved ones. If we had medicare for all then this poor beautiful child would well be taken care of. And All the money thats otherwise used to pad the pockets of people who spend more on a weekend vacation than you or i could earn in a dozen consecutive lifetimes could be spent on research and medical care thats often denied to bolster profits. Go guilt trip the insurance companies who are responsible for the deaths of 180 human beings on aberage every day due to claim denials. How many of them are children?

        I’m just saying if you’re going to throw your money around on a cause, there are better options than Mangione. Insurance companies denied claims yesterday and they’ll deny claims tomorrow, you haven’t done shit about it.

          Instead of petulantly thinking that everyone has started supporting random murder, maybe actually consider the reasons Luigi gave for killing this man and that maybe it’s those reasons and not random street violence which people are supporting?

          The situation is so dire, so many people are dying out of the greed of people’s profiting from the crazy system that murdering those people seems like a reasonable response.

          Think about that.

          What sort of a situation would result in murder actually being a reasonable choice? Because America is in that situation.

              Well the consequences of our health care system has you arguing in bad faith about donating to children’s hospitals being a moral spend of money.

              Arguably, it perpetuates the system.

                The fuck is in bad faith? I’m serious. Any penny you would have sent to Luigi is infinitely more impactful when sent to a real charity that helps real innocents.

              Yeah well let’s check back in ten years and see what the consequences were. The global society, or even just the American society, is pretty large. Things which change in populations of hundreds of millions don’t happen instantly.

              We know there’s a strong reaction from the corporate class, vis-a-vis added security, charging the woman who quoted Luigi, etc etc. We also know that Luigi has immense support behind him.

              And you don’t see that as being a developing situation? You’ve just called it that “nothing happened his actions meant nothing”? I’m starting to feel like you’re some corporate troll. I’m not saying you are, but your breath clearly smells of boot-leather.

                Luigi doesn’t have a majority of support in any demographic, their highest is 41% among young voters and thats when you add the somewhat supports and definitely supports together into one group.

                And whether you support him or not makes no difference. He isn’t a senator or a city mayor.

                  Oh corporate polls don’t showed support for a person who murdered a corpo?

                  I’m socked.

                  And whether you support him or not makes no difference. He isn’t a senator or a city mayor.

                  Which one was Rosa Parks?

                    Ohhhh~ those corporate demographers! How dare they spend their life in academics for the system! /s

                    Rosa Parks wasn’t immortalized for clubbing a bus driver over the head until he died, she was immortalized for peacefully abstaining from a system that a majority of people disagreed with.

          Im not giving any money. Its winter and propane is $20 a refill lasting 3 days. Maybe ill send a christmas card I have some stamps lying around.

          But the outpouring of support including people wanting to put money on mangione’s commissary is most likely due to the fact that many people have been thinking this for a while and if mangione is indeed responsible what he did was he said the quiet part out loud. And now the billionaires and their executive corporate pets are scrambling on pr and damage control to scold the rest of us for our irreverent response welcoming revolution and class war.
