UnitedHealthcare Is Mad About ‘In Luigi We Trust’ Comments Under a Doctor’s Viral Post
luigi is probably the closest this country has ever come unifying americans against their ruling classes and that's why they'll spare no expense and turn every single rock that they can and i suspect that it'll eventually work.
once it does; i think that it will be the last chance for us to change course because it means that we're going let the fascist orange in office take whatever he wants no matter how much those of us to pay attention try to warn the rest.
also notice how the media just memory holed Luigi once they realized the public was on his side
yeah, that's why i think it's going to work; if he's not on our screens, he disappears from our collective consciousness.
They're never going to try him
unfortunately most people turned it into a funny trend to talk about how cool and hot he is and moved on instead of creating any substantial mainstream dialogue on class consciousness. didn't help that he had incoherent politics and his (supposed) manifesto didn't say much.
i guess the halo effect helped more people agree with his actions, but part of me wonders how different we'd talk about if the shooter was an average joe with a story to tell, like a 50 year old denied life saving treatment, or someone like my mom: she works in healthcare, yet can't afford medical treatment for issues working in healthcare caused

this is the biggest reason why he has a chance at all; if he's on our screens, he'll stay in our collective consciousness.
going off a bit of a tangent: my mom's a former nursing assistant who went into debt studying to become an LP-nurse when i was in middle school. as an assistant nurse, she developed arithitis from lifting patients with mobility issues every workday, yet she hasn't been able to afford a doctor's appointment in years (or eye care, or dental care). by the book, 2 workers should be lifting patients with proper technique, yet that's rarely the case due to intentional under-staffing and time constraints.
she usually worked in nursing homes; dressing people, hand feeding them, showering/bathing them, cleaning their excrement, etc. nursing assistants spend the most amount of time with patients, so she made a ton of meaningful connections with them over the years. a lot of patients would (and still do) tell her how they can't afford treatment or surgery themselves. after a patient passed (some of whom she'd be grieving over), she and a coworker were usually in charge of cleaning their stiffening bodies and lifting them into bags to be sent to the morgue.
assistant nursing (along with regular nursing to an extent) is one of the most dangerous jobs in the US by far, with up to 60% of facing an injury per year (most commonly back injuries). figuratively and literally the backbone of the healthcare industry who work for barely above minimum wage with little direction or support. if anyone has the most reason to [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], it's them
