UnitedHealth CEO Assassinated
The murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO is a strange story. On the one hand, the killer obviously was taking steps to avoid getting caught. He was wearing a hoodie. He used a silencer. He clearly had an escape plan.
On the other hand, he was wearing a distinctive backpack. He may have left a food wrapper and a water bottle at the scene. And there was writing on each of the three shell casings (the words "deny," "defend," and "depose").
Not an expert on the subject but if it is indeed true that the main tenet of marxism is "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs" then almost all of the people who claim to be for marxism really aren't. They are only for the second part and a portion of the first part. Most people can't be great at anything that will benefit others. But many could be good and instead settle on being only mediocre or worse.
This has always been the case, and included Marx himself. It is a philosophy for people that want to justify their existence as sponges. While capitalism can be summed up as "I don't want to work... but I have to or I will starve to death", Marxism is best summed up as "I don't want to work... and you should be forced to work so I don't have to."
They probably went with, "You called 911 and not the number on the flier. Enjoy making those burgers tomorrow."
The governor called this person a hero, yet no one is going to give her the scratch.
Yeah, they’re saying she needed to specifically call crime stoppers for the 10k and she called 911. For the 50k from fbi there is some other step that has to happen that hasn’t, like a nomination or something. Maybe they’ll change their minds if people are mad about it.
i hope that snitch doesn't get a dime
Guess 911 is out of network.

Thompson would have wanted it this way.
this whole thing is insane
what does it say about the state of our healthcare and country that someone who murders an executive in cold blood becomes a lowkey hero to many
allow me to don my tinfoil hat before saying he looks nothing like the starbucks photos
lost a lot of respect for polymarket when they posted a bunch of ridiculous markets that likely can't be ascertained but will rely on LE narrative
him going from 60%+ to plead guilty yesterday to <30% today after fingerprints were matched boggled my mind. only things i can imagine are a) not guilty by insanity, b) go to jury trial hoping public sympathy outweighs evidence
It is amazing to me that these politics tinged murder/assasination attempts usually have pundits ascribe the main or at least a significant reason for the those actions to be those particular political influences. No. When someone tries to kill , knowing that he will almost surely get caught, (or is planning to subsequently commit suicide) the main reason by far for the actions is almost always that the perpetrator is seriously mentally ill. Period. The political connection is just an excuse.
this is a guy who was found 250+ miles from the place where he committed the murder, with multiple fake IDs, who managed to kill his target.
didn't commit suicide.
and political faith like religious faith can make you act in ways others could consider irrational, some political/religious faiths more than others.
and some political/religious faiths celebrate martyrdoms explicitly.
saying oh well martyrdom is mental illness isn't a counter to "it was politically motivated"

“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize fo
LOL at thinking this note is somehow a show-stopping confirmation that this guy was a Marxist. You might as well be arguing that anyone who professes a belief in monotheism is Muslim.

What in the goddamn hell are you talking about?
Marxism is all about workers banding together and using collective power to achieve a proper dispersal of their business' wealth instead of the overwhelming majority of it going to the top 1 or 2 owners. Marxism is a very work-based ideology! Marx himself wrote about this a ton. Unfortunately, you're too busy lazily recycling Ronald Reagan-style talking points to engage in good-faith learning about political ideologies.
Anyway, it's cool that you're finding social solidarity with the guy famous for abusing a developmentally disabled woman and exploiting ANOTHER woman into suicide. You two share a disgust for these so-called "sponges".
You centrist types, aka right-wing Democrats and Never-Trump Republican scolds, are the most likely to think the killing of this monster was some abhorrent tragedy and everybody should be ashamed for not weeping over his corpse. It'll be interesting to read this thread (first time opening it) and seeing how my observation matches up with how this thread has gone.

Luigi is just like a huge swath of 20-somethings (and younger) who grew up within the confines of the Twitter algorithm. Their ideology takes the form of an absurd mishmash of internally incoherent ideas. Our guy will make these points about corporate exploitation... then re-tweet reactionary lunatic Jordan Peterson. There are TONS of these types below a certain age.
He loves AI and shows a lot of respect for the crypto-bro AI types; a (deeply evil and stupid) group that leans heavily right.
Why on earth, would this guy leave a note explaining he was def working alone? If you can tell me how that makes sense I won't "look into" it anymore.
I assume he wants people to stick to his message instead of getting lost in infinite speculation about ops and conspiracies and false flags and etc. etc. Unfortunately, there are lots of Playbig2ks around whom are way too totally captured by the paranoid mindset for that to work. Alas...

What exactly do you think Marx meant by "From each according to his ability?"

And I was saying the same thing. My post was about the people who only pretend to,or think they want Marxism but actually don't, as you allude to in the post under the one quoted.
And your comment about the two women is totally factually incorrect. The first women is still with me after twenty years and has thousands of followers on social media due to her expertise in several subjects. The second tried to get money by threatening to make fun of the first on the internet. Both things are well known.

You are going to be disappointed. No one has argued that people should be weeping about the killing of a CEO that none of us knew personally.
Regardless of Marx's flowery language, Marx is exactly the same parasite as his 21st century supporters. A person that refused to do an honest day of work in his life, yet felt entitled to live the high life off of other people's work and wealth. The ultimate schnorrer.
Today, far-left true believers take the form of people in their early 20s, or people with stunted emotional development stuck in an early 20s mentality, who (a) don't work, (b) spend all their time sleeping, smoking weed, playing video games, and jerking off, and (c) post hundreds of messages on the Internet every day about how they are superior to those "wageys" that are so dumb that they actually go to work every day. They are people that feel so entitled to a stress-free existence, that they feel like the government (the wagey taxpayer) owes them a living. There are several examples of this prototypical person that posts on these forums every single day, and they are even more prevalent on younger-skewing platforms such as Reddit and Twitter.

I wouldn't say disappointed, but a bit surprised, sure. Plenty of people are "weeping about the killing of a CEO that none of us knew personally" elsewhere on the internet, and they lean heavily centrist.
Don't get me wrong. This event has brought a lot of people together, I've seen Nazis, tankies, Trump fans, shitlibs, etc. celebrate. There's just, also, a notable contingent of scolds.

For every one of these lazy drug-addled youths that offend you so, there are FIFTY decrepit old misers whining about the kids these days and their pronouns and their atypically colored hair and how they are less willing to grind their bodies and souls into dust for an unlivable wage than the real men (i.e., hardcore alcoholics) of previous eras.
Does it concern you how closely your social takes are to those of hardcore reactionaries like... I don't know, who are the movement theocrats these days, guys like Matt Walsh? TwoPlusTwo luminary Inso0? Anyway, you're one or two mentions of woke bathrooms short of an identical social ideology to Pepe-style Republican fans of Nazis.
You have exactly zero understanding of Marxism outside of whatever moronic strawmen you conjured up from thin air. Shut the hell up.
Sure, Marx may have devoted a million pages in his works to graphs and data detailing and discussing work production, in granular terms (by the standards of the day) of the firms of the post-Industrial world; and composed any number of paragraphs dedicated towards how workers can improve both the conditions of the workers AND the quantity of production and the success of any particular firm, but no, forget all that, DonkJr saw a shitpost from some kid's dorm room and therefore Marx was actually all about smoking weed, mannnnnn
Yeah he was awesome as the history of every single country who adopted his ideology shows.

I don't really like responding to you, as you have always been an unhinged troll and it takes time away from my life as a working man, but it pretty funny that you have not changed your MO at all in the last year and a half of posting. You are still the same edge lord crybaby begging for attention with the same stupid takes. Personally, I wish you would post more, not only for the entertainment value, but also so that those people that are iffy about Communism can see how one that subscribes to the ideology really thinks.
