Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

What a pile of shit this article is. Reuters, just take the mask off already.
Unsettling, is it? Is that your detatched journalistic opinion? Fuck.
Damn, THE John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City?! Going all out for the "I mean, who hasn't had their mother's cancer treatment denied" quote eh. Good call, Reuters.
Spent more than ten minutes in the building did ya?
Ahhh there's that b0Th SiDeZ that makes the world go round. Well done Reuters, no one can fault this one! And that bit about the healthcare CEO being raised a hardscrabble farm boy with dreams of the big city is pure fucking gold you soulless corporate sleaze merchants.
That's what the article closes with. I bet it took AI at least a minute to fine-tune the "false moral equivalence" so all the poor libz who think he's a folk hero can begin to second-guess themselves and start the collapse of this whole sordid phenomenon whereby people are no fucking shit justifiably beyond outraged that everyone and their mom is getting screwed by this bullshit profit factory Nixon dreamed up.
Great job Reuters, you really whacked all the moles on this one.
...by the oligarchs and their puppets exclusively. Pretty big omission there.
As I mentioned, the article was, as the kids say, "shit".
Indeed.
You say this, but they also pointed people to the fundraiser - so it's a pretty helpful article, don't you think?
No, because “the fundraiser” isn’t one I recognize and also there was discussion that funds seeming to reward murder would be banned - that sort of thing, both of which tell me the article didn’t much care what the fundraiser was, just that it was an anchor for the rest of the tripe to hang on.
Funding his defense counsel, funding ACLU or a non-profit in support, or directly to his Monero account or something - OK. But this doesn’t sound like it.
Where's your Christmas spirit?
That's not the same as condemning him. Just saying.
Who cares what either of their backgrounds are. One preyed on people for profit, the other is fighting for social equity. It's how they conducted themselves that matters, not the circumstances of their birth.
I mean, I read that as two class traitors, one of whom did the praxis to show which side he is on.
What is it doing then? (And, follow up question - why is it doing it)
Personally, virtually 100% of the chatter I've seen online is pro-Luigi. Rooting him on in his escape/evasion, hoping he doesn't get caught, or outright praising his actions.
Thus, my point is if the sharpest anti-Luigi commentary the author can find is discussion of his background, that shows he's pulling at straws to get a 'both sides' story when the reality is among rank and file people, there's a strong near-universal sentiment that Thompson had it coming.
Indeed - sort of creating anti-Luigi commentary, isn’t it.
Coming damn close at least.
Great breakdown. Thank you
