      Since you are a mod, I will respect your wishes and not use any such templates again. Are there any other banned templates we should know about?

      The meme is about the trial of Luigi Mangione, on trial for the murder of a healthcare CEO.

      Tankies are using the narrative of Luigi being some sort of folk hero to promote both-sides-bad centrism and advocate for violence in the USA.

      If you think you can solve US Healthcare by voting blue then you’re likely to get into an argument with Luigi Cultists.

    I’m not sure what kind of narrative is being painted here, but I’m not hearing any complaints about Luigi from universal healthcare advocates.

      Try leaving a comment about voting for democrats to pass healthcare reform in a Luigi Mangione discussion, a bunch of Tankies will pile on and give you shit. They don’t believe in Democrats, they don’t believe in political reform. They support violence.

      Furthermore, all of that funding for Luigi’s defence would have been better spent on campaigns for healthcare reform. Hundreds of thousands of dollars for some kid who graduated Ivy League schooling with multiple degrees and a father who runs Mangione Enterprises.

        How much money do you think will go into health reform? Luigi got like $500k in donations from what I can tel through my search.

    Actual universal healthcare advocates would see that the discourse Mangione brought into the public eye is good for awareness and involvement.

    Anyone who sides with CEOs and claims to be a universal healthcare advocate is a scy-op. A system with universal healthcare wouldn’t need obscenely overpaid CEOs.

      I guarantee you that nobody has become more informed as a result of this. And even if a few conservatives discovered their side was against public medical funding, and not by their side actually gutting public medical funding as we speak, it wouldn’t change the way they vote.

      Also, the word is psy-op. The psy stands for psychological operation, not science operation.
