The rotten core of America’s corporate oligarchy bleeds through every paragraph. A man allegedly guns down a healthcare CEO over systemic rot, and the machine coughs up its usual scripted outrage—politicians clutching pearls while doing nothing to dismantle the profiteering structures that turn human lives into actuarial tables.

His ghost gun etched with corporate buzzwords isn’t just evidence—it’s a grotesque performance piece. Meanwhile, the governor’s sanctimonious “dark corners” lecture reeks of deflection. When the system grinds people into dust, don’t act shocked when they bite back with theater of their own.

One of the few people standing up for their fellow Americans. A true patriot surrounded by people with an addiction to greed.

Luigi Mangione, actual sexiest man alive.

The article says that some man said people "in dark corners" herald him as a hero. I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners? lol. clown man.

It would be preferable if we didn't have to murder CEOs to stop them from destroying our lives but they are sort of forcing our hands here.

It would be nice if they paid attention to the overwhelming pop culture references of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s that referenced struggle.

The audacity that the most powerful and richest of the dumbs dumbs adopts psy-punk like it isn't a reference to oligarchs and shitty decisions with power and money tells me he is just shallow asshole that thinks he knows more than those that read them.

Gibson, Orwell, Stephenson, Moore, Palahniuk, Bradbury, and many others wrote fantasies that encapsulated these notions and yet it falls on deaf ears. They are indeed forcing our hands.

They see these villains and go "damn they look cool" and never think "maybe he's an asshole" with some self reflection.

Givesendgo is a right-wing christian crowdfunding site. So a “thoughts and payers” option is right on the nose.

Good to see an official page (confirmed as authenic by NBC) confirm the GiveSendGo link is authentic
