Also, it’s possible to be priveliged and also understand and sympathize with the problems of other people.
Also, it’s possible to be privileged and have your life wrecked by this system.
Just fucking imagine what it’s like to be underprivileged and never have a chance in the first place.
I’d wager many of us have been both multiple times, over our lives without even realizing it.
Actually understanding this?, now that’s the first step to truly understand.
I’ve been in both positions – dirt poor and couldn’t get care, and also decently well-off (not rich) and still couldn’t get care, even with good insurance.
Now I’m destitute, partly because of health care debt, and am struggling to get any care at all. I seriously feel like the system actively wants me to die.
It’s also possible to be in a stereotypical privileged position while still suffering from terrible things such as health issues that are not covered and are costly.
Especially in America, where access to healthcare is gatekept by a special class of people whose permission you need to obtain healthcare.
Imagine if you needed a prescription for new clothes, and couldn’t buy new clothes until someone else signed a sheet of paper saying you were allowed to buy a pair of jeans.
That’s not in any way a free market.
Evidently you don’t feel as strongly as he did to throw his privileged life away.

Meh, one person’s feelings and how they act are hard to measure up to another person’s feeling and how they act.
Someone who lost a loved one because of insurance bullshit might feel way stronger than a knowledgeable kid who sees the injustice. And a thousand other viewpoints too, might feel more strongly about it than the shooter.
Meh, that makes your point even more invalid than mine. Anyone could do anything for any reason and there’s no real way to know anything for sure. Might as well sit in my room watching paint dry.
Not sure what you mean. Just saying you can’t compare how people feel by their actions alone.
You can’t compare how anyone feels at all. Feelings are subjective, relative, and are only able to be compared by actions (including words). Even then they are famously difficult to communicate and compare. All I’m saying is that if you’re going down that road you quickly hit the “technically we can’t compare anything” wall.
So you’re either stuck floating in apathy, being able to react to anything with “meh, we can’t really know anything.” Or you have to infer feelings based on actions and words.
Hell, I’m not even going to the mat for Luigi in particular, I just thought your response was silly. Actions alone can’t compare how people feel, but unfortunately for us actions alone are all we have to compare.
Wait, so his suffering is less valid?
The hell?
Yeah :D
Apropos of nothing, have you seen the prices of handguns these days? Even the parts for a 3D printed one can run you $900, easy. Fucking ridiculous out here.
You can get a used glock for ~$400 USD.
Do you ship to the UK. /s
Yet getting hernia corrected is $16,000. $900 barely pays the rent for a month anywhere in the country.
When the cost of living is so high the cost of dying needs to be levied on the ones responsible.
Holy shit really? I could get a pistol for 400€. Is there some kind of monopoly stuff going on that tries to reserve weapons for the rich?
Edit: did a quick search and found one a lightly used one for 130€
I have no idea what the guy is talking about. Hi-points are under like 200$, and thats a complete pistol. It ain’t luxurious but it shoots.
More heads need to roll. To the guillotine!

I thought he had an airpod on.
I’m pissed and I don’t even have a cursor on my ear!
Watch this will be peek fashion soon.
I thought he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania?
Edit: I’m a moron and it’s literally an Ivy League school. TIL
Basically Ivy league
Isn’t UPenn actually just Ivy League?
Yeah turns out I’m dumb
Yes, according to my Kagi search.
He is our leader in this revolution
leaders lead, symbols inspire.
Luigi is a symbol.
