Was thinking about his prominent his family is, and that he must have known they would see those pictures. That's pretty fukking wild on an interpersonal level. They are the type who read the news and follow it, not like some small town in rural Louisiana.
United Healthcare CEO killed in Midtown NYC; Luigi Mangione in custody of NYPD awaiting trial
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
In 2020, presidential candidates were making this argument.
Health insurance never came up in 2022 and 2024
In all fairness, politicians cater to the electorate. Healthcare was not highly ranked at all on the list of voter priorities at all this go-round.
Voters may not know that Trump proposed cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in all his budgets, but they damn sure know that he tried to repeal Obamacare and he didn't have a plan to replace it. And they still voted for him.
Equating the media circus to his 15 minutes of fame is not the play here. Don't think he cares about impact so much as him settling a personal vendetta. Murderer? Yes, if proven or pleads guilty. But you shouldn't leave out who the victim was.
Flattening it to just "some CEO" is also disingenuous.
In some ways reminds me of the Idaho killer:
intelligent
educated
arrogant
personally motivated
History of mental/heath issues but essentially moves in the world as normal
think they are about the same age
extensive online presence

Don't want to frame anything I am saying as a binary argument of what a true revolutionary is, or isn't. What I am arguing, in a sense, is this persons motivations and personality traits. Do some of them cross check famous revolutionaries? Probably. Ego, arrogance, self righteous, outsize sense of ones self.
This is a certain type of killer/offender. None of the people you named started as killing one person, they were political leaders of some kind. He's closer to John Wilkes Booth, John Hinckely, the Butler PA dude, the Colombine killers. Eric Rudolph. Tim McVeigh. Mcveigh actually worked with a team, so he's a little different in a few ways. Maybe Booth did too, like he didn't work alone. but same overall kind of thing.
There's a newer critique of social media that is along the lines of it feels like real actvism to post memes, and like posts or whatever, but it never goes anywhere, because it's all just like shouting into a void, even if its a lot of people shouting at one time. So posting pictures or witty comments, or cartoons or memes, is not going to change any structural health care issues. These people that are so inspired now, where will they channel this? Probably into the next story that comes around, where they can like and follow and craft phrases. This is what this feels like to me.

While I feel you, my point is I’m not sure people liked their insurance yet the Dem candidates mostly ran on “people like their insurance.”

Exactly. Incel shooters kill people for infamy, imagine some of these people connect the dots that if they kill a CEO abunch of strangers will love them
