Post had nothing to do with murder or violence. It is clear who reddit serves.

    Saying that the post has nothing to do with violence is pretty dishonest. Why do you think that the person who made the meme used Luigi Mangione instead of Bernie Sanders?

      It made you post a comment though, would you have paid as much attention if it were yet another Bernie meme?

      For the record, I’m just playing Devil’s advocate above. I agree that using Luigi Mangione in political memes inherently carries the connotation of violence.

        I actually commented more because of OP’s insanely disingenuous take on the content. But, I don’t understand what that has anything to do with my statement though. I didn’t assert or deny that Luigi Mangione drives engagement. You might as well have replied to me with “llamas are pretty cute though”.

          You are shilling regime position while pleading to be the reasonable one… I stated this above.

          Which part don’t you understand?

            I’m stating facts, not shilling anything. I don’t use Reddit and don’t care what they do or do not delete. I’m not advocating for or against Reddit’s position on this meme.

            I’m pointing out that OP is either lying or ignorant if they think that this meme isn’t implying violence. That’s it.

              You got a lot to learn about how the world works. But if you do understand and you still coming in here with this brain dead take. This is a boot licker behavior and I hope they treat you well enough to shill against your class interest.

                I’m so confused. Presumably, you approve of what Luigi Mangione did - please correct me if I’m assuming wrong there. But proceeding assuming I’m right about that, isn’t violence the point?

                  Based on this I am going to assume you have not experienced enough of the life to understand what this is really about.

                  So I guess less of a bootlicker and more of a useful idiot then.

                  Unless you are part of the club… Then you are just shilling your class interest

                  Hmm

                    I can no longer tell if you’re trolling, so I’ll have to say good day to you here. Every single time I’ve asked you to define your position or elaborate, you insult me. I’m not interested in that “conversation”.

      Either way the post didn’t explicitly or implicitly encourage violence and should’ve stayed up.

      Why do you think that the person who made the meme used Luigi Mangione instead of Bernie Sanders?

      Because Luigi everything has been getting censored by establishment media?

        If you think that using Luigi Mangione in a post about the wealthy and elite doesn’t imply violence against those people, then we are simply going to have to disagree and I frankly think you are being intellectually dishonest.

          I don’t think the image of Luigi is only about violence. It’s also a recognition of people’s pain at the hands of the ultra rich corporate elite. He symbolizes sticking it to the man, not just blind proletariat mob violence.

          Many of us enjoyed the national unity that came from recognizing universal suffering at the hands of the US medical industry.

            When did I say blind proletariat mob violence? I said violence. You threw those three extra words on there. He symbolizes sticking it to the man… By way of violence.
