Unaliving is now hyperpolitical?
I am horrified about the defense and glorification of Luigi Mangione, but I guess I shouldn’t be.
In one hand, the argument is that the guns that are not threatening or harming anyone have to go. We have to, even if it saves just one life, and anyone who disagrees is angry, unreasonable, and complicit in taking lives.
In the other hand, the argument is that there isn’t a rational or moral basis for condemning a hit on an insurance executive.
Welcome back to the coliseum, good people. Voting is now open about who the gladiators and lions should dispatch today.
Edit: I was trying to avoid any filter/mod issues around using the word “murder”, but that, apparently, was a mistake, which I will not repeat.

The only thing more dangerous than a deluded man with an imaginary grievance is one with a legitimate one.
Truth is he proved nothing. The week after the guy was killed, the company was advertising to fill the vacancy he made.
Only difference now is Insurance companies/groups will add security for the person they hired most likely.
Shooting someone in the back over the bureaucracy they are head of is stupid, and savage. The apparatus they run will be just fine without them.
He wasn't head of a secret police unit and it was revenge for what was done to him or a loved one. It won't make a difference.
The company will just go on with its policies no matter what. Use an effective tool, not like 99% of human history people wacking folks they dislike.
