Luigi has become such an icon and crystallized so many frustrations that I'm hopeful his conviction will finally spark the rebellion this country desperately needs. Hopefully in time before it turns into a fully fledged dictatorship - so, pretty soon.
I started the Luigi Mangione “documentary” on HBO (I hesitate to call it that instead of what it is, propaganda)…and I didn’t even get 10 minutes into it and they were going on and on about how the UH CEO was such a good family man with so much good potential.
That reminds me of when I tried to watch the Hilary Clinton one on Netflix and the intro was just like five minutes of her shit talking Bernie Sanders and his supporters, and then the intro song was a punk song by The Interrupters. I wanted to throw the fuck up.
Yeah Netflix does that more than you’d think. I watched a doc on China once on there that I THINK was a Netflix original (I can’t remember quite) and I’ve read a lot of books on China in my world politics and economics reading club. That doc was a combination of misleading to PURE FICTION at times that was branded as a straight dry documentary about Chinese economics. It’s annoying to watch these because I KNOW that you could just have the same effect if you wanted to by just telling the story with all the failures China has seen and just ignoring the successes, but I guess the half truths mixed in with lies strategy just must be more effective, especially when you have the capital and influence to put out whole documentaries like that. Lord knows 99.99 percent of North Americans aren’t gonna read about that shit.
Also if you’re interested in what the Hilary Clinton one was it’s called Hillary on Netflix and apparently it’s a docuseries. I didn’t get past the first intro theme.
Wait wait wait, hold up. You're telling me the CEO of an insurance company was a huge prick? Nah, there's no way, I don't believe you. That's simply not possible.
Whether or not Luigi did it, somebody needs to made an example of by the ultra-rich class and the corporate world for murdering one of their own. That person is Luigi.
I expect a mistrial to be totally honest. They can't shield the jurors from enough outside influence that not a single one buckles at least in my opinion.
