  • Luigi Mangione officially accepts $300k for legal defense

    Jump

  • Yeah so this quote isn‘t by him or his lawyers, it‘s from those running the fundraiser. I do think calling themselves "legal committee" is confusing too and why I didn’t trust it until now, but it does seem like they are truly in contact with the lawyers to get that money there at least.

  • I‘ve only met one vegan IRL, but it was pretty much exactly like the top, the bottom I’ve only seen online. They said to me if I more people reduce meat consumption that would be a great contribution to their cause. They didn‘t shame me, only explained their POV. I couldn‘t quite see it then, but agreed on parts of it. I did end up eating less meat and been vegetarian for a few months now, which I never thought possible.

  • Thanks for the rec, sounds interesting.

  • I‘m guessing for now all this data is functionally useless since there is too much of it and you can‘t really differentiate between shit poster and actual threat.

    What I wonder though, if eventually some AI could predict future behaviour, like say they fed it digital footprints of those that go ahead and do something, could it spot those similar?

    Well, I hope I‘ll be dead by then cause I don‘t want to see the future police states at work, it‘s bad enough as it is.

  • I think it‘s fair to have that opinion. I don‘t want to disregard all of the more pacifist people‘s points and I think they often have an important role in changing the world for the better. I also think violence sometimes is justified based on the conditions though.

    So, I do have some notes on where we differ in our thinking based on your comment:

    1: Death penalty to me is not comparable since the state, unlike an individual, has the power and resources available to dispense alternative punishments (prison, fines).

    2: The state is also at fault for the conditions pictured in the meme, since it supports and rewards the processes that made BT possible, peaceful change seemingly impossible (check out study behind this https://act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba ) and LM (allegedly) inevitable.

    3: We can never know the future, nor can we tell with certainty even afterwards if some small event like this has an impact. That doesn’t mean none of them were worthwhile though. For an example, do you think John Brown affected change?

  • A well made LM TikTok edit, which has been removed off TikTok

    Jump

  • It was similar with the original too, it was removed, restored and then removed again. Then they gave up I think. I follow the creator now cause I finally ran into a repost mentioning them (@rosariofromnj is their handle).

  • I tried to sign up 2 days ago, but so far no email from them and I can‘t login without that. It also sounds like they might be a bit strict on what videos they accept in this test phase, I‘ll try though.

    I‘ve also started downloading more Luigi edits since they‘re being removed left and right, but most aren‘t that good.

  • r/LuigiMangione has been banned from Reddit

    Jump

  • Can‘t even say Deny Defend Depose in that sub, and who knows what else can get you banned there. Saying BT deserved it, for sure would. Not blaming mods for that since they‘re just trying their best to keep it alive, but Reddit has been lost to any controversial discourse for a long time (it‘s why I signed up here originally).

    Like yeah, I‘d like to have a moral argument with someone who thinks political violence is always wrong, but we ain‘t ever going to have it on there in a real way, cause if I don‘t self-censor my side of it, it‘s going to get me banned.

    Jump

  • Sharing news on the case and memes like this one, so just wondering if anything is on here. Guess it‘s a no?

  • Anyone know of any Luigi community on Lemmy yet? I tried, but can‘t really find one, it would be nice to have since they‘re all getting banned off Reddit.

  • GoFundMe races to remove fundraising pages supporting Luigi Mangione

  • I‘m a piracy fan and I‘m on dbzer0 instance as it‘s an offshoot of r/piracy. I barely post and lurk more, so I don‘t really know how they‘d moderate on the Luigi situation. The owner seems to be an anarchist and historically anarchist action wasn‘t all peaceful, most anarchists seem to support a "diversity of tactics" one of which is violence. Which makes sense to me, it’s like self defense cause what Americans are dealing with here is structural violence and what looks like zero hope for change.

  • What I saw online (take with grain of salt) is UHC has 29,000,000 customers, and a 32% denial rate (the highest in the industry), so that gives us a possible 9,280,000 people denied if there were 1 claim per person a year.

    That is obviously super rough guess, cause not every customer makes a claim a year, some may make none and some multiple for the same thing that could repeatedly get denied.

  • What would you considered "Ethical Piracy"

    Jump

  • On Anna‘s Archive Front Page there is a book "Against Intellectual Monopoly", I think it would give you an interesting perspective to consider too.

    Jump

  • I would imagine too, but who knows, there is a different set of rules for companies and the rich.

    Now that Reddit is asserting direct control over it, maybe they‘ll turn it into an anti-piracy sub to prevent any legal trouble.

  • r/piracy after the IPO: piracy is unethical as it is stealing from the poor (companies). This is a community to discuss how to stop piracy and become responsible and dutiful consumers.

  • Haha what the fuck I really did NOT think they would do that to r/piracy of all things. Ah well fuck them and their shitty IPO. I‘m here with you guys for good, the structure of the fediverse suits our purposes and community better anyway.
