What was inconsistent?
From what I gather, if the allegations are true, then Luigi never claimed to be knowledgeable enough to have solutions but recognized general issues.
This would, presumably, absolve him of inconsistencies since he didn’t claim to be the arbiter of truth or an expert.
This is a genuine question btw, I’m realizing I don’t really know much about the manifest or his views beyond health insurance companies being evil. So I’m curious to hear what you mean.
Unless his lawyer has stated he wrote the manifesto, we can assume it was planted.
Innocent until proven guilty
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, doesn't track for public opinion, it's the whole opinion part, but yeah we should give him some benefit of the doubt, he did us a solid.
The manifesto was out there, but not entirely incongruent with his ... was it a substack? I read it off archive.org and it was quite old
We don't know that the manifestio was his, but I'd say he had enough other stuff out there to say his views wained toward strange.
That really just makes him an easy fall guy.
Like, affluent enough to have the free time, visibly disillusioned with the system, on pain management from a back injury, similar hoodie/ backpack style of dress day to day.
Like, this is a big enough problem that there is an incentive to pick a random person of interest out of a hat and fabricate some quick evidence to implicate. Was the gun found in the manifesto bag the same gun that shot the guy?
i'd like to say we'll see how it goes, but honestly I don't hold much hope for a fair trial.
I was under the impression that he was a right-leaning crypto bro that saw a bad CEO and "solved the problem". I don't think he even considered the material conditions of capitalism or the fact that we're in a class war. I think he was close though. Kind of like becoming a lefty without actually talking to any lefties.
In the manifesto I saw he basically apologized to the FBI for causing all the trouble. Letting them know that he acted alone.
He definitely wasn't the type of person I would imagine a CEO killer to be.
He is probably to young for that, but when bitcoin was first presented it was quite popular among leftist, who hoped it would destroy the dollar hegemony.
That felt very out of place imho
Ehh, maybe... I figure if it was a plant I would expect it to say something like "I trust the FBI to do the right thing" or "Law enforcement is good".
We likely won't know for a while if at all.
other comment got it pretty much right. not BAD, but, like, 'inventing communism from first principles via jordan peterson, and only sort of halfway there' weridness.
