Michael Moore wrote a proper manifesto on behalf of Luigi Mangione (www.michaelmoore.com)

Since Luigi's 'manifest' suggested that someone like Moore would be much better positioned to make the argument that needs to be made and the news media have been hounding Moore to disavow the assassination, he decided to go ahead and write the damn thing.

It's not often my work gets a killer 5 star review from an actual killer

😂

Yes, I condemn murder, and that’s why I condemn America’s broken, vile, rapacious, bloodthirsty, unethical, immoral health care industry and I condemn every one of the CEOs who are in charge of it and I condemn every politician who takes their money and keeps this system going instead of tearing it up, ripping it apart, and throwing it all away.

Baller line. Also love that he made Sicko free for viewing as part of this response.

Yeah ol Mikey's copped a lot of shit from all sides over the years. I know we used to dunk on him occasionally on r/CTH but this was a banger and it hit me so fucking hard when he explicitly described one of my losses. Truth is I have felt a murderous rage about it that I can't let go of so Luigi's Deed felt just, so cathartic. I'm not even American. I can't imagine how many people feel magnitudes more of what I feel about all of this.

Sometimes think I can't wait for the American civil war to go fully hot so I can come on an adventure-time it's basically my retirement plan.

Sorry for your loss comrade. Catharsis is great but I hope you get the chance for some self-care too .

Thank you comrade. I've had plenty of time for self care, it has been years. Grief just comes in waves or is triggered by certain reminders. And it's never ideal to forget our dead, they're only ever finally gone when we stop remembering them.
