Remember all that critical theory stuff people were freaking out about a few years ago?
It’s basically about how society arranges itself to benefit the people who have the power in a society.
Like how crimes against business and capital are serious crimes, but crimes against workers are usually treated as paperwork errors.
Compare the number of people arrested for shoplifting as opposed to the number arrested for wage theft.
Or about how the murder of one CEO gets weeks of media attention and a potential development of new systems by the police to keep it from happening again, but we’ve already moved on from the last school shooting, and our official policy is “yeah, that’ll happen from time to time”
The specific example of the health care guy says everything about that too. Deny someone health care and they suffer and die? Or maybe hundreds of thousands of people? No problem.
You are totally right but the problem is that the people who could do a revolution are all in front of their cellphone or laptop and they only write, they do nothing. They write on X, they write on Facebook but they don’t do anything else. It’s a mute revolution and the corporate knows that nothing will come of this, since the US have elected Trump.
All they have to do is enforce law so no other CEO will get killed and learn from all thid and get better at making the people don’t do anything except write on the internet.
If writing on the internet does nothing, then why did we have to come here to do it freely?
Luigi Mangione manifesto
To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.
We still have our bread and digital circuses. But the GOP is rapidly eroding our digital circuses, so it’s becoming easier and easier to pull away and live in the real world. They’re authors of their own misery, eventually.

Cyberpunk dystopia, but without the cool ass shit, just a lot of ways to die horribly.
just a cyber dystopia, missed out on the punk
Be the punk you wish to see in the world.
Yeah, this is definitely the Kenny G smooth jazz of dystopias. And I mean that in all of the worst possible ways.

That’s a good point. The white collar crime doesn’t get as much time as a shop lifter.
