“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Post got removed in .world for not being a "news source" even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.

This guy is a reminder that health is the most important thing in life. He lost his health which led him to lose it all.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He lost it all because of capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

he also had it all DUE TO CAPITALISM

With that being said, we don't don't get to pick our heros, they come as they. His work is what I judge him on.

We don't chose our family background. Many times class war leaders are part of the elites themselves but but at some point they see the reality and switch teams.

FDR was a disabled and I always assumed that his condition forced him to see the suffering of the working class so he sided with them. No peasant would ever be able to do what he did. He was the elite.

I see a lot of leftist political whores try to smear him based on his class... it is disgusting.

Tells you all you need to know about what sort of leftist they are.

As far as I'm aware he was not part of the owning class, he just had a good paying job, that does not make him a benefactor of capitalism.

Says the person who brought his class up.. 🤔

Look, I'm not trying to have a go, but honestly this is completely derailing from my point - health is not a virtue, nor is it in our control (despite what abled people love to believe), and being in ill health and or becoming disabled is only "losing it all" because of capitalism and abled supremacy, NOT because sick and disabled people's lives no longer have value (which is what the original comment implies).

As far as I'm aware he was not part of the owning class,

His family owns income producing businessES. He has the background. I am not sure if he personally had access to the wealth though.

Check fake TV talking heads covering him, Cuamo, Shapiro, Fox News etc. Also there comment on lemmy suggesting similar. My comment was addressing that sentiment.

Unsurprising from .world

Man, I signed up at world because it sounded like the most official one, but there's so much fuckery constantly on this instance... I even donated at one point then stopped when they were trying to shut down instances talking about piracy. Wtf?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

You can easily sign up at another instance and export / import your subscriptions and settings. The only thing you can't transfer is your old posts, afaik.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

My instance is great, the only issue I've ever had is that they don't defederate from some of the more shitty instances. Based on what you're talking about, you may appreciate that, though.

I guess I see the logic in simply blocking that on an app/browser level.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Come over to lemmy.zip :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

lemmy.ml is technically the most official instance, because it's run by the developers themselves.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'm on .ee am I missing things?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 minutes ago

Probably not.

I'm glad their captcha was broken when I tried to sign up.

.world doesn't allow journalism

[–] [email protected] 27 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Their allowed articles are "Israel expands defensive buffer zone in Syria".

Top lol.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

weird way to spell "invasion and occuption"...

[–] [email protected] 89 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Reddit suppressing and removing all posts and even his account while Lemmy communities keep them all up. Feels good man

[–] samus12345 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I was able to find this via the Wayback Machine. Not much, but something.

Basically just seems like a normal, intelligent, albeit edgy (with reason) young adult.

I'm curious to see how he's painted by the media now that most of his accounts have been deleted it won't be possible to understand who he was without the media telling us.

[–] samus12345 4 points 6 hours ago

The media is the mouthpiece of the owner class. so they'll say he's evil and killed a wonderful, caring person and none of us dregs at the bottom should get any ideas that it's okay or justified that he did it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

yes it does
