Lemmy: "EAT THE RICH!"
Also Lemmy: "I DEMAND THE RIGHT TO DONATE MONEY TO THE RICH!"

"He attended a private, all-boys high school in Baltimore, called the Gilman School, according to school officials. Mr Mangione was named as the valedictorian, which is usually the student with the highest academic achievements in a class.
He comes from a prominent family in the Baltimore area whose businesses include a country club and nursing homes, according to local media.
He is reportedly the cousin of Republican state lawmaker Nino Mangione."
'Eat the rich' because as a class they take everything and give nothing. Cancer. They sow an unfathomable amount of death and suffering in the name of greed.
An individual from a rich family who just gave up his freedom to slay a healthcare equivalent of a tyrant? Yeah that's not the person 'eat the rich' is talking about.
100%. systemic problems != personal problems. It is just bigotry to assume that because somebody was born with or without money that they fit some cookie cutter definition of a rich person or a poor person. Demonize the system, not the people. People can only be praised/blamed for their individual actions.
His upbringing doesn't necessarily mean anything with regard to current state. My grandparents were rich and I was homeless. They put my dad and his siblings through uni (though have since disowned one), but I have student loans. Maybe he is still close and has access to all that money, but this feels a bit jump-to-conclusion-y
Is this what having 0 understanding of class struggle looks like?
This is the same mod who said he didn’t support BLM because they sometimes inconvenienced him.
Ofc it's a mod.
To be clear, he’s not a mod of this community, but he is a mod of at least a few others. There’s an interview running around Lemmy that featured him. He’s not a good person.
Keep in mind, everyone, jordanlund is the same guy who said he didn’t like BLM because they sometimes inconvenienced him.
No, I don't like BLM because they only care about black lives when white cops are the perpetrators.
You have a black kid killed somewhere by gang violence? BLM is suddenly fucking silent.

I mean, last time you said it was because they inconvenienced you on the way to work, but I guess that wasn’t racist enough this time?
That was one time, this is speaking in general.
BLM don't actually care about black lives. They care about the attention.
Talking about a little girl who got killed in a gang shooting won't drive the clicks, views, and donations.
Did you read either of the links I posted? Here's the stat you will NEVER hear from BLM:
1 in 40,000 white deaths is a homicide. It's 1 in 5,000 black deaths.
Why am I the one having to tell you this? Why isn't BLM shouting it from the rooftops?
It's because...

So yes, police violence against PoC in the US is overrepresented by almost 3x the rate of white victims. It's a major issue. Black on black crime is also a major issue but that is also correlated with poverty in general. So they aren't the same issue at all, and BLM are free to advocate for whatever specific issues they want to focus on, because they can't possibly have the resources to take action on every form of hateful discrimination that PoC face on a daily basis (like poor access to healthcare and worse treatment than white patients when they do get medical care, to name another couple of examples).
...because the BLM movement is specifically about police brutality against PoC...
Environmentalists and Activist Vegans have significant overlap but that doesn't mean each group supports 100% the same things. They focus their attention on what they are activists for.
An environmentalist can chain themselves to a tree or protest a pipeline while still using animal products.
Haha holy shit, at least I'm not this dumb.
Oh, so you think it's totally OK to ignore when black people are murdered by people other than white cops? Good to know.
No I'm just calling you stupid.
Because you disagree with someone who thinks all black lives matter, not just the ones killed by white cops. Got it.
