All I want for Christmas is a copy cat.

Did any January 6th people get terrorism charges? I'm curious.

[–] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

No but some of them beat the police officer to death with a fire hydrant. The entire thing was completely fucking insane.

It’s all projection

Things that terrify me:

1. The US government in 2025
1. The US government in 2024
1. The risk that my health insurance company won't cover something important.
...
1. My DM's cat, who thinks playtime means claws out.

"Luigi Mangione" is not on the list.

"Being killed by a Luigi Mangione copycat" is not on the list.

Not terrorized by Luigi or any copycats here. I have empathy and thus will likely never have a chance to make anywhere near enough money to ever be a "target".

Real terror is hearing that the company you pay for health insurance has decided that you'll die a slow painful death because the shareholders need new yachts.

These healthcare companies are terrorizing us

But where's their charge for killing lots and lots of people? So ironic.

Don't forget all the whistleblowers sudden 'suicides'

I think the word you're looking for is "hypocritical".
