  • Pro-Luigi Mangione content is filling up social platforms — and it's a challenge to moderate it

  • I see having a reasonable take on this is also giving you downvotes. I think the pro Luigi group has a problematic subgroup that wants to murder anyone.

    If it were up to me, I'd start figuring out a way to separate that subgroup out. Otherwise you're going to end up with someone randomly murdering and painting the whole thing as just murderers with no ideological point. That will kill whatever good work this is done.

  • This is the answer to why AI is useless when we abolish capitalism

  • Your right, it's not only about jobs. But you know why it's getting funded so heavily? Its a lot cheaper to have a computer do something for basically nothing than to pay people to do it.

    Also, I'd be willing to bet money that the coworkers of people being laid off due to increased productivity from LLMs, won't see a raise from it.

  • You can kill an insurance CEO while being covered by said insurance.

  • Yeah, I get that this is an inevitable outcome. But now that we're talking about it, instead of putting every CEO's head on a spike, let's try to do something more constructive. You know like creates systemic change to close the wealth Gap.

  • All I know is that his family is very wealthy. I hadn't heard that he couldn't afford healthcare. Do you have a source on that?

  • You are correct. I messed up. I miss interpreted the post as suggesting Luigi become a leader. This is on me. Sorry.

  • Ah, my bad. This is what I get for posting while sick. Sorry.

  • You could argue that Luigi killing the CEO from a utilitarian perspective is a net positive. Things are still playing out, so it is hard to say.

    What i feel strongly about is making Luigi a leader would be a net negative from a utilitarian standpoint.

  • Does the meme not imply that Luigi should be the next Presidential candidate? Is that not glorifying Luigi?

  • It's hard to say. There are people out there who literally believe Luigi should be the President. I don't know how to tell the difference.

  • Good point ☝️

    Also batman didn't change the systemic issues with Gotham.

  • I agree. The symbolism is good here. I just don't like making a symbol of just violence a leader.

  • I agree. Do we really want to make Luigi a political leader then?

  • I'm not classifying Luigi as good or bad as a whole. I am just saying that making Luigi out to be some lefter version of Bernie is not a good comparison. I don't think we want kill CEOs to be the message of left leadership. The idea scares me, like the pendulum is swinging to far the other way.

  • I have the position that murder is the least ideal form of change, but as the post states all less violent options have been removed from the table at this time. It's sad that CEO (person) was killed, but it may have been an inevitable outcome.

  • I upvoted, but these kinds of posts make me uncomfortable. Luigi was a wealthy crypto bro working though a mental crisis. Luigi is not lefty batman.

    I am very happy about the discussions his actions are creating and the overreaction from the upper class, but I am not sure it is a good idea to glorify Luigi.
