Terrorism

no his arms have TWO ELBOWS EACH and his finger bones are doubled with claws inside the flesh of his hands so he can quickly regenerate in case of traumatic injury he's a monster

I don't consider him a terrorist because I don't consider what he did as a political action.

He was wealthy enough to have no problems paying for all of his surgeries without insurance, tbh. His dad is head of Mangione Enterprise which owns and operates a lot of real estate including large resorts.

He had a Bachelors in Engineering and a Masters in Computer Science.

I think Luigi might have had no intention of advocating healthcare reform, he just wanted to disincentivize people he viewed as evil.

He is a sponge. He has either no skeleton, or that weird soft one where no piece links to each other.

Italians, like the people that populate Italy, don't think of themselves as white. They see themselves as Italian.

It amuses me that the media has no idea how to spin Luigi into the villain of this story.

Ah, good find! Although his buff form anatomy is so different from the norm it doesn't answer any questions.

How's that? It seems very political to me

Unless we're doing a "I didn't see nothin" bit, that's cool too

I agree and also see lots of other acts that are political not get tagged as terrorism.

it's not political because politics shouldn't have anything to do with healthcare.

kinda depends on your definition of politics

the one I heard that I think is the most useful is, On the broadest level, Politics is how societies decide how and where resources are distributed

by that definition, healthcare can only be a political question, cus no matter how you set it up, you've made a decision about how it's staffed and funded, who it caters to and what its goals are

Luigi didn't make any political demands. He just said this CEO was a bad man and so he killed them.

synae[he/him]

You say "shouldn't", but until that's true, it does

synae[he/him]

No specific demands, but this was absolutely not only about the man Brian Thompson, and very much about larger political and economic issues in the country.

...If the manifesto is to be believed, anyway. I understand not everyone trusts the veracity/provenance of it, and that's a reasonable doubt to have.

I saw the Manifesto and I didn't see any socioeconomic political theories, just an apology to the police but "it had to be done."

If it said "The system of privatized health insurance is evil as a result of failure of legislation to restrain the actions of an industry" THEN that would be political, but it didn't say that at all.

Spongebob canonically has a skeleton, we see it multiple times. Maybe its cartilage like a shark.

The reason for "it had to be done" is political.

Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.

He explicitly states that he does not have the "space" nor the qualification to lay out what you want him to lay out, but he pretty much says what you said he should've said for it to be political: "Privatized health insurance is corrupt and greedy, we've known it for a long time and nothing has been done to prevent or stop it, thus I took a more violent approach to do something about the corruption and greed."
