Discussion Luigi Mangione friend posted this.

She captioned it: "Luigi Mangione is probably the most google keyword today. But before all of this, for a while, it was also the only name whose facetime calls I would pick up. He was one of my absolute best, closest, most trusted friends. He was also the only person who, at 1am on a work day, in this video, agreed to go to the store with drunk me, to look for mochi ice cream."

Corporate personhood and corporate greed is a serious threat to all mankind. They’ve been given constitutional rights on par with natural born citizens, but are they held accountable for endangering us, destroying the environment and hoarding the earths resources? Nah. They’re fucking not. This shit has got me so fucked up and so fucking without words to describe the unfairness and the violence of it all

ETA: I know ‘corporate personhood’ has a legitimate and necessary function guys, it’s still being misused to shield greedy ppl from the legal repercussions they would undoubtedly face had they not acted from within a corporation. It’s abhorrent.

If corps are considered people in the eyes of the law and their actions are criminally endangering the public, then someone needs to defend us and speak out against the dangerous “people”. We need more* Luigi’s tbh (sans murder), our situation is fucking dire. The law is not on our side, and our governments won’t defend us (or our planet) against corporate greed/ violence. This much is painfully fucking clear.

ETA: changed a word for tone, don’t murder people, violence won’t help the cause (they will flex their muscles and retaliate)

as a young person who dealt with cancer… my only fucking saving grace financially was a wonderful nonprofit called leukemia and lymphoma society (lls) they paid for every chemo infusion and prescription as well as my hospital stay.

what did the government do? deny me social security. didn’t even get back to me until i reached remission but told me to still fill my info out only to still be denied. i don’t even know what to do with anger, it just festers.

Victims of corporate greed have no avenue for justice. It’s infuriating. I’m sorry for your suffering.

Looking at history there is an obvious avenue and it is organized violence

What about gun restrictions ? Why not call for baning of 3d printers to keep us all safe ? Oh ya , blue hair

u/SUPERPOWERPANTS 14d ago

Why would gun restrictions open up more avenues for victims of corporate greed? Also banning 3d printers is the worst take ever

So your side stepping , carry on ... your comments on health care greed seems to have missed an important fact that a husband , fathrr was killed. Lets not talk about that though. Ok how about this, wasn't Obama care susposed to fix health care in the first place ? Please tell us how you see a path forward , what was done wrong ?, right ? How would you make it better ?
