“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”
Post got removed in .world for not being a “news source” even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.
I think there is a problem with idolizing someone that likely didn’t actually do it who has no coherent motivation or ideology. It also feels like another white person who became more well known than the victims they sacrificed themselves to help ala Aaron Bushnell, maybe this energy should be being used to push more CEO hatred and the consequences of private healthcare and not focusing on the dude the cops said totally did it and had all the evidence on him when they happened to find him? Seeing a lot more thirsting over this dude and jail funds for his rich ass than renewed energy in helping those saddled with immense healthcare debt
No no, you don’t understand. That’s just book-clubs and theory. We should just go on adventurist fantasies and shame those tankies!
Been busting my ass off for so fucking long where I live and seeing this shit get championed over actually helping some god damn people is just sad.
Like sure it’s “unifying” among an incredibly reactionary group. Maybe use the energy and use it to helping the victims? Use it to show to libs that China executing billionaires isn’t actually bad? Bring it into a coherent idealogy? Hell, anything beyond laundering obviously fake evidence and copaganda?
For a lot of the liberal “leftists” I see this could be sort of a wakeup call but it’s step 0, I’m having luck with some people in my life but it has nothing to do with this guy or what he did but what it represents and the many many questions of how we get rid of private healthcare beyond a single execution (theory, history, tying it to their lives!). I don’t know, anything productive should be done with this, and none of it has to do with hyper focusing on a reactionary rich dude that probably didn’t do it.
