The rotten core of America’s corporate oligarchy bleeds through every paragraph. A man allegedly guns down a healthcare CEO over systemic rot, and the machine coughs up its usual scripted outrage—politicians clutching pearls while doing nothing to dismantle the profiteering structures that turn human lives into actuarial tables.

His ghost gun etched with corporate buzzwords isn’t just evidence—it’s a grotesque performance piece. Meanwhile, the governor’s sanctimonious “dark corners” lecture reeks of deflection. When the system grinds people into dust, don’t act shocked when they bite back with theater of their own.

Very fucking well put

I'm not sure that this was written by a human, but honestly, even if it's the product of AI/ChatGPT, it's moving, nonetheless. I don't care if this diatribe was written by a robot, I can't say that I don't agree with its message 100%. If AI is gonna take this position, then I'm more than happy to fight alongside the bot army

Luigi Mangione, actual sexiest man alive.

The article says that some man said people "in dark corners" herald him as a hero. I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners? lol. clown man.

I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners?

Certainly looks like it's going in that direction...
I assume you mean "the entirety of the USA"?

It would be preferable if we didn't have to murder CEOs to stop them from destroying our lives but they are sort of forcing our hands here.

It would be nice if they paid attention to the overwhelming pop culture references of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s that referenced struggle.

The audacity that the most powerful and richest of the dumbs dumbs adopts psy-punk like it isn't a reference to oligarchs and shitty decisions with power and money tells me he is just shallow asshole that thinks he knows more than those that read them.

Gibson, Orwell, Stephenson, Moore, Palahniuk, Bradbury, and many others wrote fantasies that encapsulated these notions and yet it falls on deaf ears. They are indeed forcing our hands.

They see these villains and go "damn they look cool" and never think "maybe he's an asshole" with some self reflection.

Headline doesn't want to say someone's name.....

I wish Luigi nothing but the best.

My hero

I think murder (first degree, premeditated, cold-blooded) is worse than that

Someone has died in both cases. So why?

IT's the Luigi, overpowered as can be
