Terrorism

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

Terrorism?

No.

Terrorism is the targeting of uninvolved civilians to spread fear for political purposes among the population at large. It can get a bit blurry but I'm not afraid of being assassinated for denying healthcare.

Are you?

Now if we want to talk about how carpet or drone bombing campaigns are terrorism that's an interesting conversation but the system is just doing what's it's designed to do, protect the oligarchy no matter what.

Finally we have an answer

History is written by victors, not terrorists

And Luigi isn't a man or patriarchy is over. Or maybe there are more than one system of oppression active at the same time and intertwined. We will never know.

jesus christ imagine his skeleton

[stinky@redlemmy.com]

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

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

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

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

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.

[hawlsera@lemm.ee]

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

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

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

[synae@lemmy.sdf.org]

How's that? It seems very political to me

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

[burninator05@lemmy.world]

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

[greenknight23@lemmy.world]

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

[greenknight23@lemmy.world]

the funny thing about Sicilians...

[appletea@lemmy.zip]

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

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

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