    Luigi has become such an icon and crystallized so many frustrations that I’m hopeful his conviction will finally spark the rebellion this country desperately needs. Hopefully in time before it turns into a fully fledged dictatorship - so, pretty soon.

      It’s literally been the only light in the world of darkness for over a decade.

        I started the Luigi Mangione “documentary” on HBO (I hesitate to call it that instead of what it is, propaganda)…and I didn’t even get 10 minutes into it and they were going on and on about how the UH CEO was such a good family man with so much good potential.

        Gag!! 🤮

          Which is funny because everything I’ve heard about him is that he was a huge prick.

            I haven’t finished the doc, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to. It’s just offensive intellectually.

              That reminds me of when I tried to watch the Hilary Clinton one on Netflix and the intro was just like five minutes of her shit talking Bernie Sanders and his supporters, and then the intro song was a punk song by The Interrupters. I wanted to throw the fuck up.

                  Yeah I shut it off after that. It was clear to me that this wasn’t going to be an informative documentary.

                    Exactly…propaganda sponsored by Netflix.

            Wait wait wait, hold up. You’re telling me the CEO of an insurance company was a huge prick? Nah, there’s no way, I don’t believe you. That’s simply not possible.

                Yeah, I’ve heard it’s good. I do need to give it a shot. I’m a big Seinfeld fan, so Dreyfus being the main character is a draw.

      If they convict him there’s likely to be mass riots.

        There’s no “if” here, it’s “when”.

        Whether or not Luigi did it, somebody needs to made an example of by the ultra-rich class and the corporate world for murdering one of their own. That person is Luigi.
