Fuck You and Your CEO

Anti-Luigi posts only serve to illustrate the underlying fatal flaw with our culture in the US. It’s a flaw with humanity, sure, but we seem to specialize in it. To wit:

Violently hurting another person, or even stealing their stuff, is inexcusable. The only exceptions are life and death situations.

Destroying the lives of many people indirectly in pursuit of money, however, is just an unfortunate fact of life. Cause and effect is apparently irrelevant as long as the CEO isn’t literally throwing rocks at them as he pours their insulin down the drain.

Hey now. That's not always true.
Consider the Twin Towers Attacks (which indirectly enriched the Saudi Royal family immensely). Americans were so enthusiastic to avenge the honored dead of Cantor Fitzgerald financial services that they flew to the opposite side of the planet and started wars with multiple other countries on totally false pretenses.
Similarly, we've been gungho in funding the massacre of Gaza residents when they greedily and villanuously attempted their Right of Return to homes lost in the '47 Nakba.
And let's never forget our 50 year crusade against the money grubbing, land stealing, economy looting Communists.
The Suez Crisis, the Iranian Revolution, Vietnam? I think we can all agree they were unconscionable and deserving of an unlimited Holocaust of native peoples in response.

  Osama Bin Laden has been exiled from Saudi Arabia in the 1990s and had his citizenship revoked 7 years before September 2001. The US chose to ignore intelligence about an imminent attack and was also working with Al-Qaeda in East Turkmenistan. The people who profited from the attacks were US companies' CEOs and shareholders.

Thompson’s net worth was estimated at approximately $42.9 million as of February 16, 2024, according to Wallmine.

Oh no millionaire left his fortune for kids that won't see him again and can do anything they want. Looks like Richie Rich movie start scene.

How dare you cheer on the alien from "Alien" dying at the end of the movie. She was a mother!

Just a single mother trying to feed her kids. smh
Ripley was an anchor baby.
If you're talking about the Powerloader/Queen fight, that was the second one.
- Aliens, that s is very important and it actually conveys a lot about what the movies are about.

The fact that he allegedly took his life on behalf of others who had been screwed over by him despite having no personal grievance with him makes it more commendable.

Have y'all seen all the happy UHC ads everywhere? "My life is great because of UHC" again and again.

didnt he also have like crazy back pain or smth and was denied???

I was a child when I lost a parent to cancer. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that it occurred to me to wonder whether or not they’d have lived if we’d had health insurance. And this was decades ago. Of and years after that before I thought about what if we’d had universal healthcare.

Fuck all ceos. Also private equity.

The only thing sad about Thompson's death is how quick it was.

While I'm certain he would deserve the pain and suffering of a slow death while his coverage denied any life saving treatment.... I'm honestly not sad that it was quick.
Quick or slow, it's one less profiteering glutton in the world, and I can't be mad about that.

Heydrich had 4 kids. It doesn't matter, he deserved to die.

Plenty of horrible men had kids who damn well deserved better fathers.

The only good CEO is a Luigi’ed one.

B corps?
- Greenwashing corporate profits means little. B-corps fight hard against their employees unionizing, it's just branding.

who did nothing to him

Except deny him medical care and put him into a massive medical debt.

But he didn't do that personally, so it's not his fault /s
- Unironically, this argument is likely used by the same people who blame the president for gas prices.

he took

Oh really? Where's his conviction?

And I don’t even know this guy. No way I’d recognize any of these people from a jury box.

Im glad every time I im reminded when that CEO died. I'd like more of that warm feeling.

I hope that heartless, sociopathic pile of shit had time before he lost consciousness to feel as alone and confused and scared as he made so many hundreds of thousands of people feel to line his pockets with more money than he'd ever know what to do with.
- The ceo caused the prolonged distress of tens of thousands of people, that is far longer than a normal lifespan.

All this whole CEO murder thing is is an effective application of Reagan's "Trickle Down" economics...

You make... cuts... at the top, and things get better for everyone else.

Are you telling me Reagan was too "woke" for today's conservatives!?

Maybe he meant it was some Scott Pilgrim style trickle down. When you shoot a healthcare CEO, they explode into an avalanche of coins for the people to collect.

Yeah fuck that CEO and everyone in charge that have a hand in those kind of decisions. Fucking board should of been shot as well.

Also Luigi is innocent and not the shooter.

I find that those who cry most about wokeness are those most infected with the broke mind virus.

One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus". Empathy requires continual effort to maintain your commitment to the well-being of others, something that's more and more challenging these days.
But abandoning empathy? Giving yourself over to fear, greed, and hatred requires no effort or commitment, and the longer you maintain such a vile, poisonous state of mind, the more you become such in such a perspective.
But, as we know, projection projection projection 😝
- Studies have shown that conservatives have smaller areas of the brain related to a sense of empathy on average compared to others. It could be said that they are outright physically less capable of feeling empathy compared to the rest of the population.
- Their abandonment of empathy is perhaps the greatest reason why I revile them.
  A mentality of fear, superiority, bravado, main character syndrome, otherism (a fear of altruism), superstition, religious indoctrination, paranoia, the lost cause…
  even conservative immigrants are in the find out phase. Broken minds.
  Be woke, or be broke. All my homies respect trans rights, and personal pronouns.
- One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus".
  At least some of them have gone full mask-off, and is outright calling empathy a sin and greed a virtue.
- I was unaware that being an empathetic person required any effort.

A dad, like I'm supposed to care that this guy nutted in some skank.

I'd be a dad..
If I got paid fair wages for my labor, had the means to care for a family and my partner was able to access modern reproductive care.
All things that health insurance companies deny people as a business model.

Didn't Jack Posobiec get caught cheating on his wife? And he's trying to lecture me on family values?

He was doing her a favor so obviously yes jk

Insurance also tried to kick me off and deny coverage because of a cancer diagnosis as a child. My poor mother. 👨‍🔧

Does Luigi know where "End Wokeness" hangs out? Asking for a friend

"This man was a father.. a husband. Ok... so was Marty."

Remember, EW is a Polish Nazi.
