Nothing wrong with a healthy sex life. As long as all involved are consenting adults with equal power over the situation, it's no one's business. I never understood all the focus on other people's private lives & why so many consider sex a worse "sin" than violence against others or allowing people to go without food, homes, health care, etc. In some cases, sex is the only happiness some people get. Let them enjoy!
NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to coneerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson s the "real working class hero" of this story.
reddit deleted luigi's aceount, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. theyre also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.
luigi yelled that this was "an insult to the intelligence of the american people” while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his ife to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing "among us" with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin's disturbed psyche, ffs.
news media are also capitalizing on luigi's supposed “bizarre and impossible to understand” politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is... a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.
muitiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from arich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that's been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us “oh he's not like you guys” while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.
and all this, and he hasn't even been found guilty of the crime he's allegedly committed. uigi s, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he's becoming for low and middle class america.

@cheetah_spottycat add to that they're also trying to stick him with a charge of terrorism, which not only allows for harsher sentencing but also carries terrifying implications for the future of anticapitalist resistance

@cheetah_spottycat this. 100% this.
@cheetah_spottycat This is largely why I cringe at the whole "bonk go to horny jail" nonsense. Like they're above it or something. :P
