One step at a time. He made people realize for a second that there is no left vs right. It's working class vs top 1%

He has declared victory. He has saved us all. Stop paying attention, paise him, and when other tell you he's stealing, lying, and cheating scoff at them and say something incredibly easy to verify as false.

Edit: Do I really have to say I'm being sarcastic? I'm being sarcastic. This is what I imagine a Trump goon would say.

We need to recognise social murder as murder.

Thousands of people die preventable deaths every day because of health insurance not covering basic measures, but people online spend more effort defending the life of one CEO, than those millions of cumulative deaths.

The unheard pleas and screams for help of millions of people are being ignored so a couple rich people can uphold their hierarchy. It’s inevitable that some of the oppressed people will crack, here it was Luigi, a rich and privileged kid, who couldn’t deal with the sort of stuff poor disabled and marginalised folk deal with every day.

But yet we also see him as a sort of symbol, standing for the collective pain we have felt, the relatives and friends who have died preventable deaths, someone who stood up and sent a message to the people causing so much suffering.

Most won’t agree with how he did it, and that’s okay, but you’ve got to admit, your “letter” comparison doesn’t make sense. He could have sent a letter, and it would have been ignored, just like the millions of pleas for help were.

You think shooting someone in the back is cowardly? Imagine the kind of person who would do it from behind a desk, never even seeing their millions of victims.

THAT'S cowardice. Luigi is one of the bravest people on the planet.

You want to make a point, write a letter.

You are incredibly naïve

ah yes, writing a letter. just like the millions of people that UHC ~~murdered~~ wrote letters to.

UHC and many other health insurance companies in the US will and do let people die in order to keep profits. Brian Thompson was complicit in this process. His murder is fully justified.

I don't want a future where murder and violence is the only way to bring issues to light, but when governments, regulations, and other protections fail us, people get desperate. They are left with no other choice.

He is not a hero. This man is an ALLEGED hero.

Without celebrating murder, absolute monarchy would be much more common

You can argue that this specific case is bad, but you cant say that violence is never the answer

a bad decision on your health care

Somebody literally decided to let Luigi live in pain.

Those somebodies also decide that live saving treatment is out of scope because they want a bigger bonus.
