    The rotten core of America’s corporate oligarchy bleeds through every paragraph. A man allegedly guns down a healthcare CEO over systemic rot, and the machine coughs up its usual scripted outrage—politicians clutching pearls while doing nothing to dismantle the profiteering structures that turn human lives into actuarial tables.

    His ghost gun etched with corporate buzzwords isn’t just evidence—it’s a grotesque performance piece. Meanwhile, the governor’s sanctimonious “dark corners” lecture reeks of deflection. When the system grinds people into dust, don’t act shocked when they bite back with theater of their own.

        I’m not sure that this was written by a human, but honestly, even if it’s the product of AI/ChatGPT, it’s moving, nonetheless. I don’t care if this diatribe was written by a robot, I can’t say that I don’t agree with its message 100%. If AI is gonna take this position, then I’m more than happy to fight alongside the bot army

    In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero.

    By which he means all over the fucking country, which is unfortunately so covered in darkness there are no bright corners left.

      Hey PN Gov. Shapiro, it’s “alleged killer”. It should be a crime to speak of the presumed innocent like that.

      Although I don’t approve violence, trend today everywhere is that countries are run like companies and common folk, especially poor ones, are considered as “garbage it the way”. Export industry being the nearest and dearest.

      There should be a way to return the societies focus back to citizens. By the time AGI comes along this should be fixed or common people will be royally fucked.

        I approve of the defense of innocent people against powers that aim to kill them.

        Violence is justifiable when the alternative is to be killed.

        UHC kills innocent people. That’s their business model.

        Unfortunately history says the only way to return society back to the citizens is violence. There’s nothing else the oppressors will listen to.

      Luigi Mangione, actual sexiest man alive.

      The article says that some man said people “in dark corners” herald him as a hero. I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners? lol. clown man.

      It would be nice if they paid attention to the overwhelming pop culture references of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s that referenced struggle.

      The audacity that the most powerful and richest of the dumbs dumbs adopts psy-punk like it isn’t a reference to oligarchs and shitty decisions with power and money tells me he is just shallow asshole that thinks he knows more than those that read them.

      Gibson, Orwell, Stephenson, Moore, Palahniuk, Bradbury, and many others wrote fantasies that encapsulated these notions and yet it falls on deaf ears. They are indeed forcing our hands.

      They see these villains and go “damn they look cool” and never think “maybe he’s an asshole” with some self reflection.

            Since when is .com cheaper than .info? I’ve always thought .com was generally the most expensive TLD.

              Lol not even close.

              It’s not the cheapest, sure, but there are a lot that are a lot more expensive, like .io or .shop

                It also depends on the domain name itself. I registered a domain recently, and it was much cheaper to go with .io than with .com.

                  Interesting. No matter which domain name I check with my registrar, .io is always ~9€ per month and .com is ~2€ per month (if it’s available that is).

                  Some registrars (like GoDaddy) like to basically do squatting themselves, and then offer you that domain as a “premium domain”, costing whatever they think they can press out of you for that domain. So that’s not the registering price, it’s the squatting price.

                  It gets expensive if you want a domain name that someone already owns, that gets unreasonably expensive quickly, and I could rant for half an hour about why domain squatting (aka buying domains for regular 20-40$ per year from the registrar, only to sit on it so if someone else wants it they need to buy it from you) is shit and should be outlawed.

    I think murder (first degree, premeditated, cold-blooded) is worse than that

    Someone has died in both cases. So why?
