Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don't be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

"Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare since 2021, was shot and killed outside an entrance to the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan, New York City, on December 4, 2024. He was in the city to attend an annual investors meeting for UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare. Authorities believe the attack was not random. Thompson had been criticized for UnitedHealthcare's rejection of insurance claims, and his family reported that he had received death threats in the past. The shooting occurred early in the morning, and the suspect, initially described as a white man wearing a mask, fled the scene."

(edit) I would like to point out that Luigi Mangione is only a suspect and there are currently doubts about the integrity of the evidence.

Don't really respond you these types of things. But for someone with cptsd with a shit ton of people in my past who manipulated me, gaslighting me, abused me and lied to me. I became very good at knowing if someone is lying to me and manipulating me. Also my autism has my pattern recognition extremely high and know people very well very fast and with high degree of accuracy, with even just a few genuine pictures of themselves.

But this guy. He seems. Off. His pictures, his "manifesto" all of it. Seems like a abusive person trying to gaslight me and manipulate me into thinking "yeah! This guy did it! Look at the evidence".

From my experience in my life. This doesn't seem right, things don't add up correctly. I don't know if he did it or not but from that picture of the assassin, the person is extremely generic and could be a lot of people.

As always, question all information about it. Don't believe everything you read on the news as they are pretty much a propaganda machine, oh hell don't believe any social Media or anybody really. Fucking propaganda is so imbedded in this fucking country that it's hard to tell who's doing it because they want to Truth or want followers or just spreading misinformation.
