#Fuck the CEOs

[travelingtwentysomething]

Lesson #1. Don't listen to the media.

Lesson #2. Take it all in.

Lesson #3. Make up your own mind.

Lesson #4. Our enemy is not each other.

Lesson #5. Our enemy is our oppressors.

Lesson #6. This IS about class.

Lesson #7. Those who see themselves as above, do not stand with us.

Lesson #8. We stand together as one, and we have the power. It's why they don't like unions.

Lesson #9. They want to divide us.

Lesson #10. United we STAND. DIVIDED we fall. Pick up those around you who are falling, and help them stand back up. Help everyone you can see that we are equals, we may be different, but we are all equals. We all deserve to live with all of our HUMAN rights, including the right to life (health), liberty (choice), and the pursuit of happiness (defend our life and our choice).

NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to concerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson is the "real working class hero" of this story.

reddit deleted luigi's account, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. they're also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.

luigi yelled that this was "an insult to the intelligence of the american people" while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his life to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing "among us" with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin's disturbed psyche, ffs.

news media are also capitalizing on luigi's supposed "bizarre and impossible to understand" politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is... a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.

multiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from a rich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that's been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us "oh he's not like you guys" while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.

and all this, and he hasn't even been found guilty of the crime he's allegedly committed. luigi is, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he's becoming for low and middle class america.

How many CEOs do you think will have to die before they change gun laws finally? And by then it will be too late because now the average American will realize that the government only wants to take your guns when they're used against the "powerful elite" they would rather they be used against the poor and powerless like children, churchgoers, Walmart shoppers, gay bar patrons, etc.

I'll be so honest right now the thing I love about everyone not caring or congratulating the guy who downed the UnitedHealthcare CEO is that this will inspire other "copycats" if you know what I mean.

There are people who have nothing left to lose, people who want to make a mark in history, people who would want to be known nationwide, people who see through the NYPD's bluff and realize that they can get away with ending a CEOs life when everybody wants you to get away.

I'm not promoting anything! But this is something that has been seen time and time again in history, soooo

He's more likely to be 'some poor schmuck the cops grabbed to look like they're on the ball because they can't catch the real shooter' than 'latter-day (and somewhat unhinged) Ezio Auditore wannabe who's kind of an asshole but not 100% a dick and understands that the culture war is a distraction from the class war'.

As more news about that guy who shot that other guy breaks, please do keep in mind that cops always lie. Please do keep in mind that any information given to the press by law enforcement cannot be considered in any way reliable until it's been corroborated.

So funny how Blue Cross basically went "You guys make a great point" and rolled back their anesthesia policy after the United CEO was killed

Seems like we might have found a form of protest that works

The claims that a union’s requests are unrealistic or unreasonable is almost always the first step, and it’s also almost always a lie inspired by greed.

Members of a private WhatsApp group, including billionaires like the CEO of Dell and the former CEO of Starbucks, allegedly used the chat to discuss ways to pressure New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on Gaza solidarity protests at the city’s universities, according to The Washington Post. AJ+ has not seen the chat messages referenced in The Washington Post’s report directly. ⁣

⁣

NYPD officers raided encampments at schools like Columbia University and the City College of New York, arresting close to 200 protesters in just one day. The police raid at Columbia in late April was the first on-campus mass arrest in 50 years, with police using riot gear and military-grade weapons against mostly peaceful protesters. ⁣

⁣

While Gaza solidarity encampments have been frequently targeted with violence by police and pro-Israel agitators – and over 2,200 people have been arrested – a study found that out of over 550 Gaza protests at U.S. universities, 97% have been peaceful. ⁣
