Murder thousands of regular working class people, that's just business.

Agreed, it’s pretty obvious when you think about it. Everything else is just a tool, means of division.

The wealthy and supporting systems do NOT care about your ethnicity, gender, sexuality, history, religion, political affiliation, etc.

They care about THEMSELVES, and always increasing their wealth and influence at the expense of ANYONE. They love it when we fight amongst ourselves over the inequality they perpetuate.

"Give me Liberty or give me death". Look at our founding fathers. Why aren't they being brought the fuck up?!?!?!!!

We find these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.

Revolution! Revolution!

Taxation without representation! We are America. Not the rich. Every person has made this place great. It's never gone away. A melting of people wanting a better tomorrow. A better life for all.

Change makes us the best. Love another. It's that simple.

Fuckkity fuck fuck.

The time is now.

The future is here

The past has done its part now it's our turn.

People will scream this but then turn around and insist how important pronouns are like. Like sorry but those ideologies are not compatible since once is incredibly individualistic.

This just proves that the state is an organ of class rule, an organ for the oppression of one class by another; it is the creation of “order” that legalizes and perpetuates this oppression by moderating the conflict between classes. In the opinion of the petit-bourgeois politicians, however, order means the reconciliation of classes and not the oppression of one class by another; to alleviate the conflict means reconciling classes and not depriving the oppressed classes of definite means and methods of struggle to overthrow the oppressors.

Duh. This is a "you kill one of ours, we kill one of yours, and then continue to kill you as we see fit. But this one is a spectacle!"

Standard rich people stuff.

u/Kidcharlamagne89d 2d ago

I read the communist manifesto a few years ago and was struck by how obvious the class struggle is when you look for it. It's been all of human history, the haves keeping the have nots mad at each other. I don't agree with Karl marx on the prescription for the problem, but God damn do i agree with his diagnosis.

But people need to realize that the poor make the rich rich....

to be clear, mangione is not a poor man. but yes, it's not about the action but the power of the CEO class

If it’s rich vs poor tell me why republican vote in alignment with Nazis and Fascists then?

u/Alex5173 3d ago

For a real comparison, how many school shooters get the death penalty? They're just as pre-meditated and usually targeted at specific individuals as the currently unknown murderer of United Health's former CEO. And yet the guy they "caught" with a suspiciously convenient amount of evidence could face the death penalty? With school shooters there's no question of guilt and yet I rarely hear of one facing capital punishment.

Ofc I'm not blind to the fact that they're setting an example here to protect wealthy interests but they really aren't even trying to hide it. They don't try to hide much at all these days.

u/Enquiring_Revelry 3d ago

You got the world's richest man in front of the press in Steve Jobs type tech reveals explaining how they're going to streamline government.

If that isn't the literal curtain falling on out in the open oligarchy I don't know what is.

84

u/System0verlord 2d ago

I don’t remember Steve Jobs announcing anything via twitter. Always via a well composed, professional, and comprehensible presentation. None of which apply to any communications by this administration.

u/krazay88 2d ago

found the steve jobs stan (i miss him too 😭)

73

u/system_error_02 2d ago

I mean Steve Jobs was a jerk but he was not anywhere near what Elon Musk is. Comparing those two is wildly out of left field. Their companies weren't even in the same sectors.

51

u/Enquiring_Revelry 2d ago

It's the only person I could think of off the top of my head who stood in front of a large crowd announcing in grand spectacle something like it's the most important thing in the world.

Apply the concept to any other self aggrandizing asshole and my analogy still stands.

u/khodakk 2d ago

Yea they are doing it out in the open now. Cause they know no one can stop them. Only people protected are the wealthy. Our institutions are just a way to keep the status quo.

They’re gonna squeeze us for all we got left

u/Historical_Grab_7842 2d ago

And how many right-wing people that attacked protestors with cars got meaningful punishments?

u/AthasDuneWalker 2d ago

I totally get what you're saying, but many school shooters don't get anything because they frequently are unable to be arrested if you get what I mean.

12

u/Alex5173 2d ago

Of course, but there's plenty of them that do get arrested. It happens often enough that statistically some amount of them end up in police custody.

Kill one man you're a murderer. Kill 1 million and you're a conqueror Healthcare CEO.

u/Badrear 3d ago

Get ACCUSED of murder of one CEO…

u/Thess514 2d ago

Thank you! We don't know that he did it! There are serious questions about the so-called evidence! Innocent until proven guilty! At least until they take that away too.

u/Livid-Okra-3132 2d ago

It's also incredible that this country is pretty much the only western democracy that still gives the death penalty.

Backwards ass failed fascist state full of pieces of shit Christians.

u/Snoo9648 2d ago

Or Dylan roof. Apparently killing a church load of middle class people is not nearly as bad as one rich guy. The oligarchs aren't even hiding anymore.

u/Fharic 2d ago

Murder? I don't see a picture of a guilty man.

u/omnie_fm 2d ago

Murder one rich CEO, capital punishment.

Murder thousands of regular working class people, that's just business.

u/stanky4goats 3d ago

Murder hundreds of school children, it's just something we have to deal with in life.

I hope he goes free.

u/ragdollxkitn 3d ago

Time to fight.

u/khodakk 2d ago

Not only that but think of all the crimes committed that don’t get the death penalty. This one person has one crime, killing one person.

People with entire rap sheets get less. So clear this is just to send a message.

u/Modern_Ketchup 3d ago

or rape someone in Europe… 12 months. Say shit about them online? Years of prison. Truly, we must put the politics down and unite with each other.

Mangione didn't provide ROI to the Investors, like the blood of children does.

What do you call it when we have the ability to save someone’s life, but the insurance company simply says not to do it? It’s essentially a death sentence handed out for being poor.

u/jonnyquestionable 2d ago

Yeah good point, CEO wasn't murdered, looked like self defense to me
