Gotta love how easy it is to sweep away DEBILITATING BACK PAIN as "White man had reasons to kill"
Any reasonable person would agree that this white man had plenty of reason to kill that other white man.
The correct way to express serious grievances is to day-drink and slowly destroy yourself and the people around you
also "white man had reasons to kill" is a hell of a way to frame a news outlet reporting on the possible motives of a murder
Didn't someone related to him also die of health insurance fucking over, or am I remembering that wrong?
No, that was one of the fake manifestos. I don't think he ever had money problems with healthcare personally. I'm betting he got into back pain forums and spent a lot of time reading stories of people who did.

Apparently he was a big contributor on back pain subreddits, many posts. Think his username was along the lines of Mr Cactus or something like that.

It appears Reddit have shut down the subreddit he was most active in, r/spondylolisthesis
We've entered the "white libs scolding other white people" phase of this journey.
Meanwhile a few posts down, she makes a misogynistic post about a female Trump appointee. The liberal approach to identity politics is always opportunistic.
Libs think that only governments and businesses should not only have the legal right to kill, but should execute that legal right as often as possible.
Soon as one dumbass libertarian dude flips the script they all freak out about "civility" and "violence is never the answer" and "death is bad now actually".
There's two kinds of people to liberals: characters and NPCs. If an NPC uses violence against a character, it's a crime, but not the other way around.
Gender reductionism is not the strongest analytical lense.
If anything, isn't this a productive use of his privilege, i.e. doing a thing that only a rich cishet white guy can possibly get away with? I mean think of all the other people that wanted to shoot that guy but weren't able to take the risk because of their statuses and specific oppressions.
But no, it's "typical white man smdh"
Wonder how this Shannon Watts person would cope with metal screws and rods fusing her lumbar and sacral spine together, along with never ending chronic pain from the condition that required such intervention. I don't think people understand what that kind of thing does to a person.
Bougie white feminism and being wrong all the time, iconic duo.
Imperial feminism is the exact reason why I label myself as a "womanist" exclusively and never a feminist.
It's honestly sad that the word "feminism" immediately makes me think of liberal bullshit and, in some cases, even reactionary, chuddy bullshit these days.
You made me realize I've never met a female commie that has ever identified themselves as a feminist
Almost always white women from well off families
I also noticed that most mainstream feminist accounts on social media sites like Instagram never or very seldom (and when they do, it's in the most performative way possible) address intersectional matters. They seem to be far more concerned with forms of misogyny that more often tend to be of the highest importance to wealthy, cishet, white women specifically.
They also won't do shit when it comes to talking about women in the global south, especially in Palestine, Sudan, and DR Congo. I've seen accounts run by women of color who constantly call out this shit, and they get so little positive feedback from white feminists. I also feel like I don't see any white feminists address how their fellow white feminists need to do better and be more intersectional.
Every time a feminist talks about how the movement needs more intersectionality, it usually is a woman of color, actually. I think white feminists may have this scary feeling that, if they acknowledge the need for feminism to be more intersectional, they'll feel too complicit in oppression. This is something they'd rather not do because many of them really just want to "co-oppress" with white men and would find it painful to acknowledge their white privilege. Their main issue with patriarchy is that it personally inconveniences them.
I have literally seen women of color get "#notallwhitewomen" kind of complaints from white feminists alongside white women pulling "All Lives Matter" shit. For example, when a Black woman discusses her experience with misogynoir specifically, some white women will respond, "It's not just Black women who get this! White women go through this too!" Ay, ay, ay...
On top of all of this, mainstream feminists fail to put out takes that come from having studied and analyzed patriarchal and gender dynamics critically and carefully. I think a lot of them fall into this kind of thinking because men can be shitty and oppressive, so people react cathartically due to living through the horrors of patriarchy, but they never really stop to ask and wonder, "Why are things this way?" That's how you get things like essentialism in the mainstream feminist movement.
Hope the replies are exclusively arguing wether Italians are white
I'm pretty sure we entered that phase of the journey the moment private healthcare insurance became a thing. Except the reason is always "money" and it's obfuscated by a sufficiently labyrinthine bureaucracy, so that's ok and worth defending
wishing Shannon a very decade of horrific pain and an insurance plan that denies her any relief
