Anti-Luigi posts only serve to illustrate the underlying fatal flaw with our culture in the US. It’s a flaw with humanity, sure, but we seem to specialize in it. To wit:

Violently hurting another person, or even stealing their stuff, is inexcusable. The only exceptions are life and death situations.

Destroying the lives of many people indirectly in pursuit of money, however, is just an unfortunate fact of life. Cause and effect is apparently irrelevant as long as the CEO isn’t literally throwing rocks at them as he pours their insulin for the drain.

Hey now. That's not always true.

Consider the Twin Towers Attacks (which indirectly enriched the Saudi Royal family immensely). Americans were so enthusiastic to avenge the honored dead of Cantor Fitzgerald financial services that they flew to the opposite side of the planet and started wars with multiple other countries on totally false pretenses.

Similarly, we've been gungho in funding the massacre of Gaza residents when they greedily and villanuously attempted their Right of Return to homes lost in the '47 Nakba.

And let's never forget our 50 year crusade against the money grubbing, land stealing, economy looting Communists.

The Suez Crisis, the Iranian Revolution, Vietnam? I think we can all agree they were unconscionable and deserving of an unlimited Holocaust of native peoples in response.

Thompson’s net worth was estimated at approximately $42.9 million as of February 16, 2024, according to Wallmine.

Oh no millionaire left his fortune for kids that won't see him again and can do anything they want. Looks like Richie Rich movie start scene.

Does Luigi know where "End Wokeness" hangs out? Asking for a friend

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

The fact that he allegedly took his life on behalf of others who had been screwed over by him despite having no personal grievance with him makes it more commendable.

Have y'all seen all the happy UHC ads everywhere? "My life is great because of UHC" again and again.

Heydrich had 4 kids. It doesn't matter, he deserved to die.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Plenty of horrible men had kids who damn well deserved better fathers.

The only thing sad about Thompson's death is how quick it was.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

While I'm certain he would deserve the pain and suffering of a slow death while his coverage denied any life saving treatment.... I'm honestly not sad that it was quick.

Quick or slow, it's one less profiteering glutton in the world, and I can't be mad about that.

The only good CEO is a Luigi’ed one.

Greenwashing corporate profits means little. B-corps fight hard against their employees unionizing, it's just branding.

I was a child when I lost a parent to cancer. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that it occurred to me to wonder whether or not they’d have lived if we’d had health insurance. And this was decades ago. Of and years after that before I thought about what if we’d had universal healthcare.

Fuck all ceos. Also private equity.

How dare you cheer on the alien from "Alien" dying at the end of the movie. She was a mother!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you're talking about the Powerloader/Queen fight, that was the second one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Aliens, that s is very important and it actually conveys a lot about what the movies are about.

Exactly, they're about why the fuck did they write out Newt

Ripley was an anchor baby.

All this whole CEO murder thing is is an effective application of Reagan's "Trickle Down" economics...

You make... cuts... at the top, and things get better for everyone else.

Are you telling me Reagan was too "woke" for today's conservatives!?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Maybe he meant it was some Scott Pilgrim style trickle down. When you shoot a healthcare CEO, they explode into an avalanche of coins for the people to collect.

A dad, like I'm supposed to care that this guy nutted in some skank.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I'd be a dad..

If I got paid fair wages for my labor, had the means to care for a family and my partner was able to access modern reproductive care.

All things that health insurance companies deny people as a business model.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

who did nothing to him

Except deny him medical care and put him into a massive medical debt.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But he didn't do that personally, so it's not his fault /s

Unironically, this argument is likely used by the same people who blame the president for gas prices.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Yeah, they will say all kinds of funny and/or dangerous shit when their definition of rational and logical argument is “the one that produces my answer.”

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Except the president has much less control over gas prices than an insurance CEO has control over their half of the deal.

Yes... Fascist Idiocracy be like it do.

Didn't Jack Posobiec get caught cheating on his wife? And he's trying to lecture me on family values?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago
