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.

[-] Bloomcole@lemm.ee 76 points 7 months ago

Luigi is a global hero. I'm European and think most people of the world can relate since they experience the same consequences of (ruthless) capitalism.

[-] JGrffn@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Honduran here. My GF and I are getting a Saint Luigi portrait hung up on the wall. Dude's seriously an icon.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 74 points 7 months ago

dark corners = common folk

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 45 points 7 months ago

all over the world

[-] shaggyb@lemmy.world 35 points 7 months ago

America is indeed one hell of a dark corner.

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 32 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

European here and i see him as a hero. Many people here do. Even Rednote is full of Luigi memes in chinese of supporters from china.

This was my favorite that i saved:

Here are some:

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.

[-] shaggyb@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

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

Agreed. I see no difference between murder and institutionalized murder.

[-] Bloomcole@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

institutionalized murder.

they call that the army.

[-] shaggyb@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

And police.

And anti-homeless legislation.

And American healthcare.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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

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

LMFAO they can’t even put Luigi’s name in the headline?!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 47 points 7 months ago

Ok......why not just register https://www.luigimangione.info/

Am I the only one who's hearing someone withdraw money from the ATM machine?

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago

.com is usually cheaper and people know it better.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 22 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Plagiatus@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Plagiatus@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 months ago

I remember having made a simple site for a small business I worked for. Told them to remember paying the annual 18$ bill for their domain name. Cue two years later and they forgot, the domain was taken by some squatters. They were asking for 1000$ annually for the domain name !

I told them not to pay and of course the name was available a year later at the same original price of 18$ a year. They never forgot after.

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.

[-] Plagiatus@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

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.

One of the few people standing up for their fellow Americans. A true patriot surrounded by people with an addiction to greed.

[-] capybara@lemm.ee 54 points 7 months ago

It would be preferable if we didn't have to murder CEOs to stop them from destroying our lives but they are sort of forcing our hands here.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

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.

I went to the donate page, and it has a pray button. Wtf is this shit? Now I've seen everything

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

Givesendgo is a right-wing christian crowdfunding site. So a “thoughts and payers” option is right on the nose.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 9 points 7 months ago

Thoughts and prayers for Luigi

[-] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

And $20 from me towards the defense fund

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 7 months ago

Bless your heart.

[-] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I scoffed at the "thoughts and payers upvote" but perhaps it will get more support from the people who wont/cant afford to donate and further show the level of support he is getting from the general public

Good to see an official page (confirmed as authenic by NBC) confirm the GiveSendGo link is authentic

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

I wish Luigi nothing but the best.
