US Politics on Sidechat | Condemning Luigi’s actions is not siding with or allowing more greed from CEOs. It’s about preventing the harmful precedent that violence is okay in order to get what you want. The more we glorify violence the more likely it is to have hate crimes.

I don’t think Luigi is a terrorist nor do I think he did anything wrong.

Let’s start having these talks when the right cools down their rhetoric

Brian Thompson killed more people than Luigi

The Adjustor exercised violence to free people from oppression and violence. Brian Thompson practiced violence to earn a salary. He was a contract killer.

Do I think Luigi is a bad person? No, I think he was backed into a corner and was failed by the system but that does not mean I agree with how he handled it bc ur right it’s encouraging violence like this on both sides. We are spending so much time talking about whether what he did was right or wrong when the focus should be on how we fix the system internally! How do we make sure people aren’t pushed to their breaking point, by focusing ON THE PEOPLE and not on the fucking money

Did he succeed? Or did UNH install a new CEO and continue to insure people? It was a performative act; Luigi didn’t change anything or the US healthcare system. It’s a non-impactful way for leftists to celebrate a death when it really doesn’t improve or achieve anything.

Civility can’t exist when only one side agrees to it.

And it is less likely to exist when no side agrees with it

Great. Good luck trying to enforce your morals when you try to be civil while the other side calls and tries for death of your side lol

The only people celebrating death for the Luigi situation were just angry people who like to be online. Nobody was calling for the death of these people.

I am. They should die. They kill people for profit.

I knew many people left and right who rightfully celebrated Luigi. We're united by our oppression.

I’ll say it one more time since you’re having trouble. Civility only works when both sides agree. You can have as many morals as you want. That doesn’t matter if both sides aren’t agreeing to stand on equal playing fields.

Literally UNH had to change policies after immediate backlash and it saved hundreds of lives lol

Violence is the loudest voice in the room if you like third world behavior. There are so many other approaches that could get the same message across with less consequences. Lawsuits, court trials, using your consumer power to boycott United Healthcare, organizing a massive protest, etc. By encouraging violence, you are effectively “solving” the problem you are looking for, but you are creating another problem on the backend. Encouraging violence promotes higher crime rates.

But killing thousands for profit isn’t violence, no?

It did have limited success, UNH changed policies that saved lives and significantly reduced their violence.

That’s why the right does it so much

It’s so funny bc like greater than 75% of political violence in the last 15 years has been white supremacist
