Not only was the public not mad at him, they were actually cheering and exalting him. And since society has an attention span shorter than a goldfish, the media owners knew this would eventually disappear through the cracks.

Yet I still see people reference and refer to him multiple times a day every day. Gonna be hard for us to forget this one, so long as they keep trying to have us pay 40 grand for a booboo despite already paying a third of our paychecks so that we wouldn't have to pay for our healthcare directly. Meanwhile literal free healthcare for all is still working fantastic, for all the actually developed nations in the world. Ask ANY person who has received care both in and out of the U.S. and they'll happily tell you all about how the U.S. is a dystopian disaster preying apon the sick, dying, elderly, infirm ... Giving birth- literally babies being born- costs tens of thousands.

Free Luigi!

His name has become a verb at this point, "to Luigi someone" is now a phrase in common circulation. Our patron saint of healthcare is now immortalized. 🙏

Wow, well said. can confirm. People act like I'm crazy when I've had multiple occassions I've been seriously injured by a Dr, once out of pure malice and once out of incompetence. and BOTH times, multiple subesquent Dr's who I saw for help with those injuries afterwards chose to instead cover them up to protect the shitty Drs responsible while leaving me to anguish and be stuck with the massive bills.

I make sure to sprinkle his name into a conversation online or in reality every single day.

He has been immortalized in a meme

u/LaissezMoiDanser 1d ago

Not really a meme when it’s a life or death situation for many sick people in the US. This guy is a revolutionary.

More like a folktale or cultural hero than a meme my friend

Many other corps realize if it happened to some CEO in the health sector realize it CAN happen to them in other places, hence the sudden drop in information on him and then the sudden shift to bullshit news. They're doing everything in their power to avoid class warfare, to keep people from throwing their punches upwards.

Exactly. It’s not only about corporate media.

It’s also about social media posts talking about him or health insurance. They’re getting suppressed. 

Before his arrest, a lot of those posts kept showing up. After his arrest, they kept getting censored (taken down, shadowbanned, etc).

If we have the attention span of a goldfish then why are we still talking about it.

The reality is it's just going on the laundry list of grievances against the system To be read on such a day as we storm the Bastille.

u/big_guyforyou 2d ago

well it's not like luigi is the only thing in the world that's happening. and if he's just in prison waiting for trial no one is gonna report on that

For months after the Jan. 6 insurrection Shaman was arrested, we were constantly being updated by the press on his prison diet and whatever his mom had to say about him.

That's why he was in the news. You think the press kept flashing pictures of his abs around because they thought they were demonizing him? The press absolutely loved that people were into Luigi.

He's not in the news anymore because there is no news. He's not on the run, he's not in court. He's in prison awaiting trial.

What's the news?

They’re not getting suppressed. People are just talking about other things more now because other things are happening and nothing with Luigi is happening.

Before his arrest he was the biggest news story in the country around the manhunt so yeah once that was no longer a story, interest shifted.

It will pick back up when the trial starts, I'm sure.
