okay see I was in favor of what he did but his politics were kind of incoherent so I couldn't jump on the 'idolize this man' train.
I guess now I gotta.
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.

… I legit know folks at firaxis, I didn’t know this.
I’m gonna ask if it’s true lmaoo
It says he worked an an intern and it was several years ago. I know the meme is fun, but I highly doubt that if he were not under arrest that he'd have been working on Civ 7 UI.
But that's the problem. He fixed the bugs in VI but wasn't around for VII

He's like a real life, "most interesting man in the world".
He also filmed hours of professional quality porn of himself (with partners).
I mean, dude clearly had a unique mind. Not necessarily smart or dumb, but something that made him tick also led him to commit (one of) the most popular acts of murder in American history.
*allegedly
..s...source
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14458011/Luigi-Mangione-sex-tape-bombshell.html
There's the news article. The source is one of his friends who claimed to know about the videos. But the videos aren't public.
I mean, it's the daily mail. You got a good and accurate source? Lol
The Daily Racist sucks.

From the Newsweek article:
Civilization VI, or 'Civ IV,'
Sophie! Don't you know your Roman Numerals?
CIV IV = 104 04

Remember then the media was calling him a Techbro instead of a tech worker? Yeah, he was never a Techbro.
They tried everything... It didn't work
Bootlickers eventually fell inline but anyone paying attention saw right through the bullshit.
Anyone with basic vidya game exp knows that you re going the right way when you get this many enemies having a melt down on teevee and socials

he's been working on fixing civilization all along
oddly poetic
So "Fix Civ Bugs" is new code for "Eat the rich" and it's not even doublespeak.
Civilization has these bugs where some people can get ultra wealthy and ruin it for everyone. As Devs, we need to fix that.
Taking bets on how long before discussing fixing Civ bugs gets you banned on r*ddit

Better free him so he can fix the UI in Civ7
Bro was fixing civ before he decided to try to fix civ manually 😛
Before he "allegedly" tried to fix Civ. I'm still not convinced that he isn't a convenient patsy.

a true patriot would organize a team to break this guy out of jail.
The best outcome of this situation is jury nullification. If the jury nullifies, we'll have proven the law does not prosecute heroic deeds of this caliber. It would be the biggest blow to capitalism in generations.
"he who saves his country has committed no crimes"
i threw up in my mouth a bit quoting trump, but throwing their words back at them is always satisfying.
If it makes you feel any better, Trump was quoting Napoleon.
You can tell he was quoting someone else because the sentence makes grammatical sense

Saving Civilization, one bug at a time.
This actually makes an incredible amount of sense. Anyone who has played any of the Civs for long enough knows that taking out the right unit at the right time can change the entire face of the map. Imagine having that kind of tactical gameplay drilled into your head every day for 8-10 hours a day as a developer.
At some point, the lines between the game, the job, and real life must have become blurred. Civ is a virtual abstraction of real life. The healthcare industry is a bureaucratic one, twisted from being a service that cares for people to one that only keeps you alive as long as you can pay.
The goal in every video game is to kill the boss. The sad fallacy of this approach to political action is that there's always another boss waiting in line to take his place, and the machinery of evil barely blinks an eye at the average murderous vigilante. If Luigi hadn't have been caught, and just disappeared into the night, we wouldn't be talking about him now - the murder would have faded from our awareness with the news cycle's constant obsession over Trump.
Instead, the police did the worst thing they could have done.
They caught him.
And this meant that the faceless masked murderer became a cute rich Italian guy who had a fire in his eyes and the name of one of the most beloved video game characters of all time. By dragging him out in chains in a performative perp-walk, the cops were demonstrating their loyalty to the oligarchy who run the country (and the Healthcare chuds are a big part of that machine), and at the same time, managed to make him into a living martyr.
Because everyone, everywhere, who has ever played a Super Mario Brothers game in their life, has been Luigi at one time or another.
Now there's no chance at even a semblance of a fair trial, and they've guaranteed that the mere mention of his name will draw eyeballs and has the potential to start a riot, or inspire more gunmen.
All because of video games....
Guess they weren't a waste of time after all, Mom....
