The line between the people and the corporate/political elites is getting more defined and visible every day. I hope people notice.

The contradictions of Capitalist system cannot be hidden anymore
I’m tired of seeing it too. Every time I catch a glimpse I have to swap panties
Funny how they never mind sharing every minuscule detail of school shooters. Hmm.
Do they not want people to compare his eyebrow to the eyebrows in the surveillance photo?
Isn't it because we don't even know yet if it was him?
It’s because people are thirsting for him and it’s not the response they wanted. Attractive people are sympathetic.
I don't think people really care if he did or not
- if he did it, good. they deserve it. free him
- if he did not do it, why the fuck are hussling the wrong guy? free him
No amount of regime whore spinning will change that
I do wonder if it would be same if he was ugly. I do admit him being hot makes me lean to his side, although I was alteady defending his ideals before the Internet revealed his shirtless pics.
Read. the. article.
Imperial mouthpiece gonna imperial mouthpiece.
Besides the New York Times' inflated view of its ability to de-amplify a crime that practically everyone is already talking about, the internal chat sheds light on the other arguably bigger reason the media shies away from disclosure: its fear of antagonizing the sources it relies upon for scoops. "My source asked last nite that we not publish the whole thing," reporter Andy Newman wrote in the Times chat.
Thought after I read that: "When have they not done that?
They’re afraid. Good.
Does anybody have a screenshot of the chat the article is referencing? It's a slack chat with journalists iirc
The screeshot was at the top of my feed yesterday and now I can't find it anywhere
Edit nvm it's ay the bottom of the article yaaay
They should probably have a word to the prison he's being held in then TBH. It's like Paris Fashion Week over there with the amount of photos of him they're taking.
This suspect is fine, though?
This is the genius who left his plans in his browser history.
Everyone lacks common sense here.
~~shooter~~
suspect
Funny that they don’t take this approach with mass shooters.
Alright NYT. You wanna dance? Let's dance!
If I ask a 3 year old with crumbs on his face, if he ate a cookie from the cookie jar, he may think he's beating the system by not lying. By not saying "no".
Cookie crumbs on his face, mouth stuffed. Guilty look on his face. But he never lied. At that age, they don't yet realize that by not answering the question, you answer the question.
So, your plan to NOT publish his words, is to make us think he wrote dangerous things, and a hitlist. Your plan is to make our imagination do the dirty work for you.
So until you publish in full what has been written by him, I WILL let my imagination run wild. I'll assume that he wrote every positive thing that confirms my own biases and makes him a good person.
Hey, did you hear what Luigi Mangione wrote? He admitted to volunteering his time helping the elderly. He admitted to being the face of the revolution. What revolution? The revolution where we care for the sick and disabled. The revolution of empathy. And he killed a man who openly chose humans to suffer for his own personal profit.
That is what he wrote, and the new york times confirmed my biases. They won't even show his face, because it makes TOO MANY panties wet. That is what I believe, and that is what NYT has confirmed. That is what I shall tell everybody, and we as a society will believe. We will continue this revolution of empathy, for all of eternity.
Unless of coarse you want to publish, in it's entirety, word for word, what he wrote. That sure would keep my imagination from running wild.
Its a good thing all the merch and swag featuring him is exploding in popularity. Manufactured goddamn consent fucking denied, assholes :)
here we have a rule that nobody publishes the name or face of people suspected of crimes. it's allegedly "not newsworthy". they all get called "the 35-year old", "the carpenter", "the third man", until court proceedings are through and they are convicted.
unfortunately, influence from overseas and people's seemingly rising bloodthirst seems to be changing that.
I’m assuming “here” is somewhere other than USA. Your system sounds better for protecting the integrity of court proceedings…
He's on the Niue instance. The ones with the piss flag
🇳🇺
yeah, classic bit of cyber-colonialist history behind that tld. it's managed by the IIS.
That's... Actually really messed up. Considering that Tuvalu was able to make a huge profit selling it's .tv domains. Nothing wrong with .nu domains going to Scandinavian sites, but at least let Niue keep the money
well... they do get some of it.
Niue gave away their rights to a company, which passed those rights on to the IIS without Niue getting to do a vote. i think they got some official to sign off on it but it was never a matter for the assembly there. they originally gave the rights in exchange for the company building out internet infrastructure on Niue with the proceeds, and that has been done.
Niue also agree they should not be the registrar for the TLD, since they don't have the capacity. so the IIS does do some of the work which needs money. the main issue in the suit is one of "transfer of consent" or something.
I think it's relatively common in EU, unless the suspect has already been somehow outed, or has gone public. But typically, suspects and victims aren't named.
