    Akasha, you didn't answer my question.

    Would you endorse the execution of all healthcare CEO's? Serious question!
    I didn't answer it because it doesn't deserve one.

    Seriously, bro, where's your head at? Serious question!

    Well since I've caught you in a serious state of mind...

    All healthcare companies deny coverage for all sorts of reasons, some justified and many not. People suffer and sometimes die as a result.

    And all healthcare CEO's answer to their shareholders first.

    Whatever crime you imagine Thompson had to die for would apply to any healthcare CEO.

    So, I'm asking you: Would you then endorse the murder of all healthcare CEO's? If not, why?

    Mike really!! Nobody can in his right mind answer that question, for two reasons: the first one is a value and heart one, wanting to kill is as bad as letting die, non psychopaths cannot want this.

    Second, and not the least, nobody wants police to end up in their living room for having made vague threats on the internet. Don’t put Avalon members at risk. In some countries just mentioning a killing wish puts you in jail. Ask Thai people, Chinese, many Africans, South and Central Americans and if we are not careful, USA and Canada in the future.

    So, please Mike, stop it.

    Flash, I'm not trying to get anyone arrested

    You might have missed it, but earlier in the thread Akasha said he had no sympathy for the now dead Thompson, his wife, or his two little kids. Why? Because Thompson committed the sin of becoming a healthcare CEO, and in Akasha's words, they'll all be better off without him.

    That might be the most insane, heartless statement I've ever read on this forum. I'm actually astounded that his comment isn't being scrutinized and criticized more in this thread.

    Thompson's company operates like all other healthcare companies, and its actions are likely no more or less egregious i.e. denying coverage, prioritizing shareholders etc. If that's the crime, punishable by execution ( and justified according to Akasha) it's perfectly reasonable for me to ask the question: Under that rationale, should we just execute all healthcare CEO's then?

    If you follow the thread of Akasha's thinking, that's where it leads. That's the point I'm making.

    back to thread - has anyone read this dude's "manifesto"?
    I haven't read his manifesto yet, where is it? That being said in January 31st of this year Luigi wrote a review of Ted Kaczynski's book, I think it speaks volumes to his state of mind:

    He was a violent individual rightfully imprisoned who maimed innocent people. While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy luddite, however they are more accurately seen as the actions of an extreme revolutionary. He had the balls to realize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere and at the end of the day he’s probably right. Oil barons haven’t lessened to any environmentalists but they fear him. When all forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive. You may not like his method but when you see things from his perspective its not terrorism, its a war and revolution. Fossils fuel companies actively suppress anything that stands in their way, and within a generation or two it begin costing human lives by greater and greater magnitudes until this earth is just a flaming ball orbiting third from the sun. Peaceful protest is outright ignored, economic protest is impossible in the current system, so how long until we recognize that violence against those who lead us to such destruction is justified as self defense. These companies don’t care about you or your kids or your grandkids, they have zero quames about burning down the planet, so why should we have any quams about burning them down to survive. They are animals just like everything else on this planet except they forgot the law of the jungle. When any other animal recognizes a threat they fight for their survival, violence never solved anything, is a statement uttered by cowards and predators.

    Yeap, things are weird now-a-days!!!!!!

    https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/

    Quote REPORT: Luigi Mangione, who was named a person of interest in the execution of CEO Brian Thompson, was valedictorian of the Gilman School in 2016.

    I have found footage of his valedictorian speech at the 119th Gilman School Founder's Day Ceremony.

    Mangione is one of six children and said he intended to study AI at the University of Pennsylvania when he graduated.

    The Gilman School is a $40,000-a-year all-boys school in Baltimore.

    Mangione had shared a quote online from "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski before he was caught.

    "Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness," a Kaczynski quote liked by Mangione read.

    You don't think Thompson should have been murdered, you don't think anyone should be murdered ..but it's not all that tragic that he was...because.. why again?? Because he hypothetically refused to cover some hypothetical person's medical bills who then hypothetically suffered? (who hypothetically then hired a hitman to kill him).
    And... still waiting on all those hypotheticals. If this were a thread about Anthony Fauci it would be much more interesting. We all know of his crimes against humanity. The only discussion then becomes if/when vigilante capital punishment is ever justified. We can all take our varying positions on that one -- but Brian Thompson? If CEO bad! Healthcare company bad! is all you got, that isn't at all convincing to me.

    Let me get this straight:

    Killer is Luigi Mangione, Ivy League grad with degrees in comp sci, avid reader and active contributor on GitHub.

    He has a 130+ IQ but he takes off his mask at a Starbucks to flirt with an employee, then an hour later goes and calmly kills the CEO of a major healthcare company, rides away on a bike.

    A week later goes to a local McDonalds where he brings the murder weapon, the fake ID he used to check into a hotel, and a written manifesto on how horrible the American healthcare system is. He somehow gets identified by the cashier after he sits down.

    He works on his laptop until police come inside the McDonalds, sitting there with a ghost gun and suppressor he made himself.

    Gotcha.

    What a classic Italian slip up, smoosing with the clerk at the hostel and removing his mask totally nailed him. Also his keeping his fake id and gun, very rookie mistakes, never-mind his penchant for chain store food and beverages. Not surprised he was a fan of Ted Kaczynski, but didn't have the same low key habits or stamina, for example Ted Kaczynski stayed off the radar for seventeen years.....x..... N

    there we go, the ghost gun angle. that's nice for them, itll be way easier to just pin it on this dude AND now they have another legalistic opportunity to do a bit more clamping down

    His subscriber count was 12800 at the time of me posting it here. It's just gone up to 14500. This could possibly turn out to be the most viral YT subscriber growth ever.
