Just pointing out you’re the one living in cuckoo land.

I guess next you’re going to call AI generation fanfic.

From Gemini:

Is this manifesto political? (removed the manifesto to save space)

Yes, this manifesto has strong political undertones.

Here’s why:

Focus on Systemic Issues: It criticizes the US healthcare system, the dominance of large corporations (like United), and the perceived corruption and greed within these entities. These are all significant political issues.
Calls for Action: While the author doesn't explicitly advocate for violence, the act itself and the language used ("parasites," "brutal honesty") suggest a desire to disrupt the existing power structures. This implies a call for change, which is inherently political.
Critique of Power Dynamics: The manifesto highlights the imbalance of power between corporations and the American public, arguing that the public has allowed this imbalance to persist. This analysis of power dynamics is central to political discourse.

Disclaimer: This analysis does not condone the actions described in the manifesto.

Note: The indecipherable words make it difficult to fully understand the author’s intended message.

Same question with chatGPT.

Yes, Luigi Mangione’s manifesto contains political elements. It critiques systemic issues, such as the healthcare system in the United States, corporate power, and societal complacency. By highlighting the disparity between healthcare costs and life expectancy, as well as the influence of large corporations, the manifesto engages with political and economic structures.

However, the political nature of the document is more implicit than explicit—it critiques systemic issues but does not explicitly outline a political ideology or program. The tone also suggests a personal justification for extreme actions, which can blur the lines between political and personal motives.

It’s sad when even a braindead AI is smarter than you.

I don’t know what you’re lacking to not understand his manifesto and I don’t care because it’s not my job to improve your failed education. I’m not wasting any more time on you.

You said intent not outcome. Him killing only one and it “not having any effect” is an outcome. His manifesto doesn’t say he intended to kill only one, his intentions were against the system not a single individual.

Looking at the outcome and saying “that wasn’t political” is like saying Jan 6 wasn’t political because they failed to overthrow the government.

We have no indications that Luigi wanted anything other than one or maybe a handful more dead CEOs.

But why did he want one or more CEOs dead?

Do you think killing someone is political only if the targets are politicians?

But the reason why they think it had to be done still matters. “This CEO wronged me personally” and “the systemic oppression made me do it” contextualize the act in a very different way. The reason he did this is why it’s political. If he had done it because he had a personal vendetta against the CEO or he had some religious beliefs that made him do it or if he was just insane, then it wouldn’t be a political reason. But he did it because (paraphrasing his statement) he saw an unopposed corrupt system that needed to be opposed. That is a political reason.

The reason for “it had to be done” is political.

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.

He explicitly states that he does not have the “space” nor the qualification to lay out what you want him to lay out, but he pretty much says what you said he should’ve said for it to be political: “Privatized health insurance is corrupt and greedy, we’ve known it for a long time and nothing has been done to prevent or stop it, thus I took a more violent approach to do something about the corruption and greed.”

If anyone is wondering it’s actually because of frame of reference. The first two images have speeds in relation to the rotation of earth, the last imagine uses a different frame of reference. If you put the last image in the same frame of reference as the first two images the number there would be 0km/h, because it would be moving in relation to itself.

If the concept is appealing to you it could also mean that Factorio itself doesn’t suit you. For example I find the concept appealing and I did put a fair bit of time into Factorio, but in the end it just didn’t click. But I loved playing through Satisfactory and I’m currently playing through Techtonica which I’m also enjoying. Maybe one day I’ll learn to love Factorio but in the mean time there are other factory builders that I’m enjoying.

Wait, it’s all socialism?

Always has been.

They do exist and some of them swear Mac has better workflows (than windows because most of the time your options are Windows or Mac). I would call them loonies but I’ve seen some smart people use Macs.

The only reason we’re still here is because you keep coming back. You said your bye, I gave you my goodbye. But then you came back anyway because a) you’re petty as fuck as evident from the downvotes and b) you can’t stand someone, especially a socialist, talking shit about your autocratic wet dream, China.

Anywho, once again.

With the amount of false information, mental gymnastics, name calling and actual idiocracy I’m genuinely happy get be rid of you. France is fine, China sucks, fuck off.

I couldn’t care less about your capitalist friend being arrested. I guess it’s only western capitalists that you’re against, Russian capitalists you defend.

Why are you linking sources that are objectively false? Multiple times. And then you claim I’m clowning?

I’ll happily take the “fascist shithole” over the surveillance state that is China. But I wouldn’t expect you to understand, you believe authoritarianism to be democracy.

Of course you’re going to cherry pick the one sentence that fits your narrative. 🤡

You said is declining, article is clear its not actually declining. “YoU’rE cHeRrY pIcKiNg”

Bye.

With the amount of false information, mental gymnastics, name calling and actual idiocracy I’m genuinely happy get be rid of you. France is fine, China sucks, fuck off.

China and India started in roughly the same spot after WW2, and there’s an obvious reason why they developed very differently. India develops exactly the same way every capitalist country has developed. It’s quite obvious that the same things hasn’t been happening in India. The fact that you call yourself a socialist and don’t understand these things really says volumes.

Enlighten me.

Last I checked there’s plenty of foreign investment in capitalist countries like India. Yet, they’re developing in a completely different way.

Are they really? In what way?

For fuck sake, the title of the first article literally says relative decline as in the standard of living isn’t actually declining, and if you read the article it clearly states the household income isn’t increasing as fast as it was before.

Considering how many times you’ve linked an article and it’s complete BS I’m just not going to read any more of your articles. You link an article, find a suitable quote from the article that actually matches what you’re claiming and then I’ll bother to open the article, because if you can’t be bothered neither can I.

Absolutely hilarious how you continue to ignore where China started.

You’re comparing a country that was a developed country more than 50 years ago to a country that has been a developing country in the last 50 years. No shit one of them is going to show a lot of progress. It’s like comparing the progress a person does in the first 18 years of the life to the progress of someone from the age of 30 to 48.

Explain to us why we don’t see the same thing happening in India for example.

There’s a great article in HBR showing how India could become a significant global player by 2050 and what are the barriers that are preventing it. The same thing happening in India could be just a matter of time.

Explain why the standard of living in China is improving more rapidly anywhere or any time in history.

Foreign investment? Notice how the trend is almost identical with the household income you pointed at before

Meanwhile, also explain why the standard of living in Europe is declining.

Source?

It found that Chinese median wealth per adult, at $26,752, now outstrips Europe, where the average adult has a wealth of $26,690. The European figure takes into account the whole of the continent, which includes many less wealthy nations in its southern and eastern regions.

Yes, the average Chinese adult is richer than the average European by a whooping 0.22%. How about you read your own articles dumbass. It’s literally an example of China reaching the standard of the western world.

EDIT. Forgot to bold a certain part so we can get back to that when you eventually start complaining about numbers again.

What You have to look at is the progression over time, as I’ve explained this in the last reply. Evidently that went over your head. Household income is a perfect example here incidentally:

You’re comparing a country that was a developed country more than 50 years ago to a country that has been a developing country in the last 50 years. No shit one of them is going to show a lot of progress. It’s like comparing the progress a person does in the first 18 years of the life to the progress of someone from the age of 30 to 48.

You’re not proving China is somehow doing better than the western world, you’re proving that China is reaching the same standard as the western world.

Come back when you have an actual argument.
