I sat through an entire 4K POV walking tour of Lisbon…… and you lied!! 

Lisbon isn't at the north though... maybe try Porto or Coimbra??

There's more to attractiveness than just physical appearance.

If those guys you're talking about aren't similarly well educated (BSE & Master's @ Ivy League-tier school) and wealthy, they're already at a point deficit, which has to be made up for in other areas somehow. It helps that he also just seemed like a caring, great person, at least prior to all this, based on the testimonials from people who were close to him.

the fact he murdered a CEO also helps lol

Like, the "respect" that gives makes him more attractive but maybe it's just me

I know I was kikiing, sharing and liking posts about this dude being hot, but kind of surprised this thread is still going strong .

 

Some of y'all fanfic, thinkpieces and parasocial relationships I see online with this dude are starting to get a bit weird 

 

 

I mean, personally for me the "omg he's so hawt!!1" phase has ended (it was just the first days from the surprise at seeing at Altoona mugshot) but I guess people like to joke and be silly

Let people like what they like. There are far worse men to like.

If this guy didn't look the way he does there's no chance he would be inspiring this kind of fandom and martyrdom from people on here

I mean, even before we knew what he looked like many people supported him. It's just like a boost tbh. I would still support what he did if he was ugly, I just wouldn't be making jokes and thirsting over him

God forbid the girls here thirst over a white above average looking guy without the "go outside" police yelling in your ear

My doctor wants me to have the same procedure he had. I expressed I did not feel it is right for me before this happened, but after seeing that X-Ray image all over social media of the screws actually going in to the spine and seeing how it affected him afterwards, there is no way I'm consenting to having a spinal fusion. I'd rather spend the rest of my life on painkillers.

He is going to do so well in prison

You know, there are two types of American white men:
 

1. The fat, inflamed, blistering, red pork juice dripping kind of white men, who think they're as charismatic as their more attractive counterparts, yet always smell like Axe and garlic, have gout and frequent their local 7/11. 
   
   
    
2. Then there are the unassumingly charming white men with human color skin, visible necks, healthy cholesterol levels and full heads of hair. When I close my eyes and kiss them they smell like sugar cookie and their lips taste like marshmallows. 
   
   
   
   

 

You look like your lips taste like envelope adhesive and bacon bits. You would probably burp Slim Jim and oppression into my mouth. Rest assured, that you never have to worry about an unattractive me hassling you for any Facetime.

 

Be gone, Elmer Fudd.

This is both hilarious and fascinating. Even as someone who's not from/in the US, it really feels like something has shifted

Exactly. Or if he's not white

 

It's fun and all at the beginning when people flaunting over his look. But now it'a getting weird

Question for the culture. So what now? I understand why that dude did it and really don't gaf about that ceo even when all we had was that footage of him getting shot. I don't condemn his actions but I definitely don't condone them either. I'm just wondering what you guys who are ten toes behind this guy want or expect to happen?

 

like for me personally I felt like this admittedly shocking moment would lead to further discussions on how shitty healthcare is in this country. And while yes I've definitely seen more of that, it's coming second to the thirsting this guy has received. While not exclusionary at all I feel like the media sensation has sought to solely create a cult personality and distract from the message that the killing was supposed to bring to light. 
 

On that note is this really bringing the message to the forefront? I mean anyone with a conscience currently living in the U.S knows that the healthcare system is evil. Like we all have had some form of experience whether it be personal or through a family/friend dealing with the system. It's not like it's a shocking revelation so how will this help a topic already at the forefront of so many minds? Will it push us to rally? Fight for and demand our basic rights? If so what changes? Are we expecting a full kowtow on the threat of death when the system can just replenish itself and the full destruction of the health insurance industry seems unattainable in the current climate. 

 

And how do we keep momentum and what does that look like? How much more violence are we going to accept or dish out for the sake of the greater good? Who are going to be the martyrs for the cause? From the admittedly little I've read about the dude he seemed like he suffered breakdown and I really don't believe a mentally sound person would be able to kill in "cold blood" regardless of reason so are we potentially asking the mentally ill to take one for the team as we preach? Who is this violence a call of action to? Would you go to the extreme for the cause? Violence begets violence which begets even more violence and a violent reaction will be dealt with more brutality in this pseudo police state.

He really was your average normie apolitical male into tech and gym-maxxing and treating life like a game you're meant to hack and achievement-unlock your way through to be successful until his back injury seemingly unraveled his entire sense of self, taking him into everything from psychedelics, wanting to ban porn/social media as bad for people's psyches, going from being a cynical atheist to a philosophizing agnostic, questioning the meaning of existence in and of itself, etc. 

Just read that article and whoa. Every time I lack motivation to grind studying or doing another uni-related project I'll read it again to stay on track.

Mangione may have lost short-term because he'll go to jail for killing that man, but he wins in the long run for the mindset change he's inspiring on the people.

People saying the left and right finally coming together but all I see are the right insulting Luigi and defending the CEO. Which is ironic cos isn't the right supposed to be anti-establishment?
