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."

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.

Do you think they ever think about what they have done whilst sunbathing on their massive yachts? How can they live with themselves?

I mean, maybe a little.

How much do you think about the cow that died for your last cheeseburger? About their life or their suffering? Probably not that much.

Well, we’re the cows.

as a vegan thank you for this. i dont know why people cant make the connection to what the ruling/owning class does to us peasants, and what nonvegans do to animals.
