This is so dumb—watch the video! The whole joke was that “Bumble exploded”—would someone who didn’t know Luigi Mangione is popular make that joke?

The hero we deserve is pretty popular. Who woulda thought. I do not advocate his method. I simply like that people feel represented.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would never advocate his method as a first option, but it’s not like the healthcare companies just now started hurting people. Lots of people over lots of time, eventually that distills into one shot of very strong liquor

Yep. How many decades are people supposed to wait while they see that their votes never get them any sort of change no matter which of the two corporatist parties who take money from that industry are in charge? If voting and protesting doesn’t work, what option is left?

At least Mangione did something, and he did it at great personal sacrifice.

I do advocate his methods. I hope he inspires many more heroes. I hope 2025 is the year of many more dead parasites.

Yes, definitely wooing for justice. No more "just us."

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The first video was a response from the police maybe? Calling anyone who defended his murder as vile. Am I vile for thinking that the leader of a corporation that chooses to deny life saving care for share holders dying is a good thing for the lives of many? Maybe it's not a proper societal action... Barbaric even... But why don't they say the same thing when it's someone's loved one who is being denied care? Or, better yet, the tens of thousands who have been denied?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

lol at police calling anyone else vile

This is the same SNL that invited Elon Musk to host only 3 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 weeks ago

And trump before that.

He appeared shocked because he's joking about being shocked, which often includes "appearing shocked."

You're wooing for justice, right?

Yes they are, Colin. Yes they are.

Are there still alt youtube front end instances? The videos georestricted in Canada :(

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Look into proton VPN . Free, secure, good ui.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I do actually have a VPN but I only use it on my seedbox lol. I should really set it up on my other devices

Thank you! Unfortunately it still doesn't work :(. Says it failed to fetch the video. I'm assuming probably because of the georestriction

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Refresh the page or select different instance or try YouTube embedded link, although I’m sure if the embedded link would be georestricted.

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

Scroll down on there and click try new instance or something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

worked for me so the georestriction isn't the reason.

there should be an invidious instance aggregator out there somewhere

[–] [email protected] 170 points 2 weeks ago

shocked

Omg huffpo, that wasn't shocked. That was Jost knowing exactly what would happen.

They got me with their clickbait this time 😢
