I rest my case. I won’t listen to to any other copes but here’s your proof pretty privilege exists.
Both killed influencial multi millionaire figures but one gets praised and girls thirsting for him and randos wanting to defend him in court, while the other didn’t get the same treatment because he wasn’t as genetically blessed as Luigi. In fact I see a lot of people lowkey roasting Robinson for his looks, while all I see for Luigi is how hot he is and how he’s in the right.
Many people probably don’t even realize this but it’s just pretty privilege. And I’m sure I’ll have plenty of people coping here.
I love Tyler Robinson, Luigi Mangione, and Thomas Crooks sm. Literal heroes 🥹😍😫❤️
I think it has less to do with appearances than the popularity of issues/people they choose to pursue with their actions.
Luigi off’ed someone pretty much universally reviled across political spectrums. Probably a good 80% of people could sympathize at least a little with what Luigi did. Every adult has probably had extensive personal experience dealing with the dysfunction of our healthcare system. Brian Thompson is just the personification of that.
Tyler did a perfect one-shot with the most hilarious timing on someone that was loathed by ~50% of the country and liked by the other ~50%.
The two issues have a fairly wide gap in universal appeal.
Reddit is a really good site - have you tried it Grimreaper? I think they would like you
Pretty privilege isn’t some new concept man. Attractive people benefiting from their looks has always existed. Im not sure why it took the two examples you posted for you to realize this though.
Tyler, is that you?
Aren’t you supposed to say “I rest my case” at the end of your argument, not before you start it?
To be honest I hadn’t listened to or seen Charlie Kirk before he was shot dead, because his whole thing was hateful grift which I cannot tolerate any more in my life. But I have dealt with American health and dental insurance companies for more than 20 years. They purport to be civil when, in the system as it is now (with political lobbying) they can ruin lives. Charlie Kirk spewed hate pretty freaking directly, so someone threw it back at him. Insurance companies are insulated behind layers of fake smile, fake concern for consumers’ health, false scarcity — while lobbying politicians and arguing with medical professionals — all ONLY for boardroom profits, all crushing the entire populace if there’s no other prospect for a social safety net. For massively overinflating shit that in other countries (not just “poor”-GDP ones) is like 1% of the cost to the patient. Health for everyone, as a sector/concept in our lives, is more pressing than stupid grifters trying to rile up stupid white people. The effect of grifters riling up stupid white people is obviously awful. But I don’t want to hear any more of stupid white people telling me racist hogwash. I want to be able to get medicine for my kid. Right?
