Aside from the tragic ending, it’s why Michael Douglas’ 1993 movie”Falling Down” connected with its audience

What about the two men who tried to take out Trump? Was he not a murderer for not acting on COVID when he first found out about it and did nothing? I didn't hear anyone defending them.

No...just no.

And to clarify, Luigi Mangione is no longer 'fighting back'; he lashed out once, and now he'll probably spend many years (or more) in prison for it. Imagine the outcome if John Lewis had killed the cops who beat him? The real fight ahead will require all hands on deck, not rotting in jails.

No, it's too late for midterms. You're going to have to do this the hard way.

This is also what got us Trump unfortunately

All I can think of is The French Revolution and King Louis XVI. The past is present. "Their coming was like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains." Gandalf via JRR Tolkien

Yes, that’s it. We’re mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore!

We should all be fighting back en masse.

Exactly.

💯

My nerd ass thought this was the merchant from Resident Evil 4...

Exactly. This is the same phenomenon.

The Democrats in Congress aren't. The DoJ isn't. The courts aren't. The media isn't. I never thought I'd be praying for a military coup.

We wonder what Rage Against the Machine thinks.

i'm not crying for the loss of a grub other corp execs are hopefully looking over their shoulders will they rectify their wrongs? nah - they'll beef up security 'cos that's what they can afford with their ill gotten gains

By it's definition a revolution isnt peaceful. That's missing the point of what Kennedy was trying to say, though. Give folks a decent, lawful method to address grievances that actually works, or those grievances will build up and up until they explode out in violence

peaceful revolution is like playing checkers with your jailer

Hence, the support for the people of Gaza.

If he did it for his mom, then more people should understand without question.

From you to God's ear.

Over 40% of Americans didn't even bother to vote.

Good God... Oh, yeah. Forgot who I was talking to.

Almost all rebellions are due to economic oppression with no recourse. And if enough of the population feels like they have nothing to lose, you get a basis for networking. If one guy dead on the street has them shook...what will it take for permanent change? #EatTheRich

We must fight back, but if Mr. Mangione was NOT a #falseflag he will simply be used as a pretext to roll back civil liberties, which is the point of this #Crapter of #Creality is about. #TWPE 💙

We love him too God.

It will likely take some very radical measures to shift society toward fairness and justice. One problem I see is that few people can agree on what that would look like.

God is good! God is right (ous)!

The silent revolution. #TSR

"By definition, vigilantes cannot be legally justified, but they may well be morally justified, if their aim is to provide the order and justice that the criminal justice system has failed to provide." - Paul H. Robinson

Exactly

💥💥💥! God nailed it!

Well, sadly you’re not wrong.

Yea, like Luigi.

Ok so he was a CEO, made horrible choices that affected people lives, I get it. Murder was & isn’t the answer. I mean people like Trump, Musk, RFKjr & more are still walking around. So????

strange that this is the one thing people from both the right and left can agree on. It also proves once again that magas are easily fooled, very confused and don’t think things through.

The most brutal edit to that meme I have seen.

This is the difficult contrast. It’s the Hitler vs killing is wrong? Also the heroism of the killer vs the dead rich white man that was deliberately killing people for profit. Dostoyevsky would have loved this. He was also Russian.

Well said

Americans love violence. They vote against socialized healthcare over and over again. The Right and the Left are the same. They both love violence.

Exactly 👍🏻

Exactly!

The call of the void gets stronger every day.

My God!

The tree of liberty and all

Yes. And I think we should understand why we got to this point. When our calls are ignored, when our letters are shredded, when our votes are tossed in the trash bin, when our protests are tear gassed how else are they going to get the message? Time and time again this is how it happens in America.

When all else fails...

God, you have so much wisdom

I agree with this. The problem is, that the whole system exists and it is bad, could be much better, but some people want the money and don't want to change the evil system, so others have nothing left. And the rat pushed in the corner is really dangerous...

Absolutely.

Well said.

Can we try peaceful evolution?

Every time in history when inequalities get this great a collapse occurs. Those in power that allowed the divide were ostracized. Those that tried to make the inequalities worse met worse fates. Robber-Barrons allowed their monopolies to be divided and donated money to Arts/Humanities/Science.

Strangely like healthcare, treat the symptoms and the cause can pay for dinner for years. (Spoiler alert: dinner is what is killing you)

Just imagine it democrats had really fought for universal Healthcare instead of trying to make Republicans happy we wouldn't even be here. We should have shoved it down their throat. They have no problem fucking us over. But when dems are in power they want to play fair and that's the mistake.

It wasn't meant to be a duel, but rather an assassination. You wouldn't call the executioner a coward for carrying out a death penalty. (I'm not supporting death penalties, but that's a separate discussion.)

I appreciate the additional context.

RFK would be fucking ashamed of his shit of an offspring

So true, God. Guess that's why you're god, right? 😉

The truth and frustration is also compounded by the last 40 years of the dunbing down of the American people. No one knows what else to do.

Nah I actually do love him lowkey 🙂‍↕️😂

True.

Someone killed a man who killed thousands. It’s simple math.

The people needs to rise and fight against the rich. They have gotten to comfortable and we have allowed it. They used to fear the people. Its time they fear us again.

JFK was popped in the noggin, so much for peaceful options.

Correct

Precisely! The good folk feel like all of our once noble institutions have utterly failed us, that there are no guardians for us, especially with the rise to power of a genocidal madman and his goons.

The US health insurance industry needs massive reform, but I have a hard time condoning vigilante killings.

God bless you for that skeet! Oh wait . . .

Preach Where has “doing things the right way” gotten us? Folk hero Luigi Mangione undoubtedly saved more lives than he’s taken. #RobinHoodie #TheAdjuster By inspiring healthcare companies like the Anthem Blue Cross anesthesia policy changes. And it’s only the first month.

the only thing that kept the rich in check was the fear. That people would rise up against them

Americans, for whatever reason, have never been able to get the voices heard as much to make changes, so when someone takes it one step too far… they became hero’s.

You have so many guns America! Sort out your country!

They absolutely have a payment to Medicaid and a supplemental that is very reasonable.

Exactly. Couldn't have been said any better.

History shows that when there is great income & class inequality, the masses start to rebel. Add to that a dual system of justice, where wealthy & well connected committing crimes get off constantly, there is a breaking point. Prime example Trump & cronies.

🥰 Collective consciousness is rising. The orbs are a manifestation of that. The drones are g*vt to distract. Orbs are our spiritual weapons in this war against oppression. Keep loving, keep uniting.

we can love two things

Someone finally fighting back! Thank you. I've been trying to put words to my feelings about this. And, that's it exactly!!!

And those who don't end up echoing Martin Niemöller. Not certain that's a great outcome.

Nah, fuck me. Burn this shit down for the sake of the human race. I'm happy to go down with this ship.

This is the word of the lord

Nice write up heavenly father dude...It's being said more and more...even by folks who would have laughed/scoffed a year ago at the thought of taking the protest against the elite to another level...FAFO rich fuckers...we aren't your fuckin livestock...

Your meme-fu is God-like.

I feel bad for him he will definitely be made an example of. Same with the lady in Florida, they are trying to shut the revolution(albeit slow but revolution nonetheless)down before it even starts.

Perfectly put!

Voting won't change any of this.

A non-trivial percentage of Trump voters literally can't read what you've written. lmao "policy positions". The only policy they care about is white supremacy and 'owning the libs', literal children.

Seattle Rode Signs today..

I don't blame them honestly. When was the last time Democrats actually fought for something? Sure Democrats have far, far better policy than Republicans. But they will compromise with Republicans at the drop of a hat. They think it's a good idea to campaign with the Cheney's. Something must change.

It's the idea of someone with no accountability being held accountable and getting their just deserts.

You, I like. Followed

I like the cut of your job! Followed

This is why you're God and the rest of us mere mortals 💁

The “justice” system only applies to the common folks, and people are tired of it…

☝️☝️🎯

I believe you nailed it.

It’s a pity that Mangione didn’t visit Chevron HQ on his way to United Health

Completely.
