I am writing this question because Musk did a Nazi salute, and after asking lemmy about it, and seeing the side by side video, and his seemingly mild response to people notixing it, I belive it was a Nazi salute.
So the “now what?” is in response to what seems like a tepid reaction from society.
Will Ameeica become even more unsafe for even more minorities?
Are people organizing or have they lost hope? should there be an organized boycott on Teslas or companies that spend money on twitter? Would it even matter?
Is this unstoppable and it actually makes more sense to flee?
Memes should be fine. Advocating justice is fine. But entertaining the concept of indiscriminate death based on a loose/flawed connection to the definition of murder or theft, and then complaining that what the government is doing isn’t protected by the same freedoms as what you dismiss as freedom of speech? Due process is a thing for a reason.
For starters, Luigi could have performed a lawsuit. He didn’t even try.
Being upset that a normal person didn’t try suing UHC is like blaming a dog for not using a crosswalk signal.
The general populace does not have the training, or access to the money and expertise to successfully sue a multi billion dollar pillar of the corrupt healthcare system. It certainly is less accessible than a bullet.
Except Luigi Mangione isn’t a dog (nor is he the general populace, who could have sued as well, as shown by the amount of lawsuits sent to entities like fast food giants), he’s a human being who in fact was born into a higher position of wealth than Brian Thompson and who, opposite to dog-like fashion, plotted a cross-country murder over a period of months when he would have made the same statement with a lawsuit, especially given his wealthy family origins.
Not that the inability to sue excuses murder; there are a few avenues people could have taken, and Brian Thompson did not make himself deserve murder in the first place, not least because the issue wouldn’t necessarily have even been his doing.
