    The irony here is that Che Guavara was a medical doctor AND in charge of torture… So that’s kinda similar to United Healthcare.

    Luigi is a rich libertarian techbro bordering on AI cultist. he likes Thiel and Musk, he thinks that human immortality is feasible, that AI will outsmart us all real soon, and bought in in a bunch of other tpot/longtermist/ea horseshit hook line and sinker. he also only started caring about state of healthcare industry when it touched him personally. he’s not leftist in any useful meaning of this word

    this is his twitter https://xcancel.com/PepMangione these are his takes: https://xcancel.com/PepMangione/status/1780863519677940189#m https://xcancel.com/PepMangione/status/1750041444239434013#m https://xcancel.com/PepMangione/status/1600875886727016449#m this one is pinned tweet

        i dunno, he doesn’t seem as someone who was “against the system”. We are not flowing liquids that intermingle with each other, sometimes we have to use labels. anyways, either A) this twitter was a front and he was bullshitting or B)He may of “snapped” and changed his worldview on things.

            I’m not saying that that we are divided, just that we don’t know the full picture of luigi yet. If some one stabbed you in the back, then helped you stab some one else in the back, would you trust that person not to stab you in the back again? its not division, its a simple level of trust that needs to be built

              Then we were talking about two different issues.

              With that said, I’d absolutely trust my life in the hands of Luigi over the hands of Brian Thompson.

      I don’t know if recently we switched sides and socialism became equivalent with primitivism. But industrialization and embrace of science a technology was a big part of socialism when it started in the xix century.

      I don’t buy the primitivism take, sorry. It’s sad that people don’t buy pregnant sonic commissions $80 a piece in etsy because some open source AI does a better job for free. But it has nothing to do with socialism or the struggle of the working class.

      I just say that the embrace of primitivism and the reject of progress will lead to conservative and reactionary ideologies, not progress and certainly not socialism. Without job automation working class lives would be miserable, there is not even a chance of socialism without technology.

        (literally writing this from lab) i’m not calling him a techbro because i have some kind of disdain for tech workers, i’m calling him a techbro because he’s chasing unviable or harmful ideas or tech from old scifi that his cult (or at least was influenced by ideas typically associated with that cult) adopted as a part of doctrine. things like cryonics, some sketchy supplements that are supposed to give extreme life extension, or AI and quantum computing (because they think simulation = actual thing, and they hope to achieve immortality with AI). you might start to think that i’m batshit crazy just by explaining it, but i assure you it’s them, and these people will be part of american government really soon. start there https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/LessWrong

        in no place i’m saying “technology bad”, i’m saying there’s plenty of harmful tech being pushed for profit and Luigi went full in in that sector. other than healthcare, that is

    Ugh please stop. The left needs to stop idolizing losers like Luigi or Unabomber.

    The Che comparison is uncalled for because Che actually achieved something other than getting caught.

    As far as US activists go, people who actually achieve something like MLK or Malcolm X or Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman are 100% more admirable.

    Choose winners! We need people like Musk for these causes, not losers who peter out and die.

          Hypothetically, is there a specific number of billionaires that would have to be executed to have some sort of impact? IMO, even if the rich have just a little incentive not to be the most egregious profiteers, it’ll make some impact.

            Allow me to tell you the story of the starfish and the beach…

            A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.

            She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”

            The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied,

            “Well, I made a difference for that one!”

            IF you can only do one push-up, thats enough. IF you can only walk around the block, its a start. An avalanche begins with the movement of a single pebble.

            Just 3 IMO, because 1 is only an anomaly, 2 is just coincidence.

            But 3 is a pattern, then behavior will adjust.

      Look I’m not going to say I don’t think musk could be swayed by some head pats and calling him a good boy when he actually does something right but every effective movement has both the face and a bit of violence

      The civil rights movement wasn’t completely non-violent but would have gotten no where without smart and charismatic people explaining why things are so bad others might resolt to violence

      I’m sorry so say but the longer words fail on their own to change things the more “necessary”/inevitable violence becomes
