Ive had people on lemmy and other communities tell me the r/fuckluigimangione sub is satire but after checking its posts out since it was made and circling back to it now i am 100% convinced it is not.

The auto mod responses alone as well as the concerted effort to manipulate the narrative tell you all you need to know. For instance anytime you say his name there is a ridiculous anti L-M response, or if you say brian thompson (yuck) the automated response is just pure corpo ball gargling. If you ask if the sub is satire there is a specific automod response that explains in definitive English that the sub is 100% not satirical.

Also they are trying to spread the narrative that mangione is an alt right trump supporting racist anti trans (because supposedly brian Thompson left a legacy of promoting trans health care (you cant make this shit up)) incel? Satire should at least be so absurd its funny however this sub is just so obviously a smear campaign and pro corporate boot licking effort unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Go check it out for yourself. It would be a shame if a bunch of people who have brains and understand whats going on in the world just bombed the shit out of their gross billionaire ball gargling bukkake fest.

    Please listen to this TrueAnon podcast on a deep dive into Mangione’s politics.

    He’s actually in certain ways much more conservative than the popular narrative gives him credit for. He was intrigued by that Effective Altruism stuff. Please take it seriously.

    While the subreddit is indeed corporate shill insanity, the reality is that Mangione is not strictly a leftist in any sense.

    Please listen and re-assess your perception of him.

      And I’m not the biggest fan of the authoritarian communists / the MLs. But they killed the most Nazis and I’ll never stop respecting that.

      I don’t have a perception of him. I know virtually nothing about him, so I never built one.

      I’m just glad he made a major problem impossible to ignore.

      I don’t believe for a second that some sleuthing podcasters have created some impeachable, wholly accurate representation of a whole ass person based solely on their goodreads posts or random trail of breadcrumbs left in Facebook selfies… give me a break with the parasocial psychoanalysis. no one fucking knows shit about anyone if all you have to go on is their posts or what their college classmate said.

      more importantly, who fucking cares? folks need to stop pretending they were best friends with Anthony Bourdain or they SO RELATE to Taylor Swift. you don’t know someone because you listened to a podcast or followed their insta. same applies to Luigi.

      I could see the conservatism a mile away. There is a new version of conservative that Luigi fits in. Generally open on the big liberal values like queer rights, racial equality and abortion right, but mostly conservative minded mixed with an anarchistic literature influence. Ppl should study it and learn it vs the current ‘lump them into maga’ tendency that makes this group hard to spot.

        It’s almost like the current definitions of liberal and conservative in the US mix social and economic perspectives which have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

        Neither party represents anyone anymore, and it shows in how dysfunctional the country now is.

      Well that goes without saying. But one would have thought that r/fuckluigimangione would have been about how people of all genders and orientations were cumming together wanting to actually fuck luigi mangione! But nope user flares include UHC representative and member of law enforcement

          Obviously not but with all the Luigi thirst trap memes out there the phrase has different connotations. As a married hetero cis gendered dude the guy is unnaturally attractive. Definitely didn’t help the medias attempt to demonize him and is why they ordered a reduction in using pictures of him. Now they seem to have scrubbed stories of him entirely considering its pretty obvious a large demographic of the public supports street justice for the billionaire class

    One of the comments on that subreddit said that hating billionaires is ableist, antisemitic and homophobic

    Are you sure its not satire?

    Any community that gets its kicks pretending to be idiots will eventually be joined by real idiots who believe they are in good company.
