I believe the theory that Mangione even wanted to be caught and arrested because he didn't see a viable life for himself anymore with his spinal problems and medical bills. Who social engineers their way into getting a CEO's itinerary and then keeps a manifesto on their person well after the crime

Now he doesn't have to worry about paying for that. Or getting reasonable treatment but hey,

It's a fun theory that everyone likes to support but it falls apart when you read his Reddit account and realize he had insurance that paid for spinal fusion surgery and claimed to have no pain afterwards without the assistance of medication. That's probably also why he doesn't appear in any pain in his appearances since the incident, not because the NY DOC (infamous for their terrible healthcare) magically got him surgery instantly.

Where does “ban” end and “parental controls” begin? These books aren’t banned any more than R-rated movies are banned on Disney+. Every one of the books on the list has some kind of mature theme that different parents will feel differently about what age is the right age to handle it.

Probably when it's the parents making the decision for their own kids, not another authority.

Filtering content for children is not 'banning books'.

By this definition, The Bible is the most "banned book" across the country, even though it's probably the most consequential piece of literature ever written.

This continuous doublespeak is even more humorous considering the site has actual shopping links to every 'banned book'.

Tone: genuine question:

Do you mean like r/tuesday? If not, please help me find the common ground with my normie brothers and sisters.

I mean completely different websites. Facebook, Truth Social, X. Most conservatives are middle aged and above, they're not on Reddit.

Out of all the things, this appears to be a significant turning point:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1pnccia/trump...

https://old.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1pn8nny/rob_r...

These are currently at the top of that sub. The comments are very encouraging.

I would like to think that if Mr. Reiner saw that his death actually brought the country together, he would smile.

The Conservative subreddit is not at all indicative of the average conservative American's opinion. Actual conservatives participate in other forums.

not big fan of ANY administration, but in this particular case he already defended his case that he did not 'encourage violent takeover'

There is an epidemic on this website of right wingers with victim mentalities who feel like they have to create a throwaway account to voice their "real" opinions. Get back to me on your main account.

You know, watching Mad Men, it seems to be that work culture hasn't changed since the 50s. The same fake smiles, the same small talk, the same boss's favorite getting the credit. What's really changed since then?

Let's not assume bygone days ever were what we think they were.

Let's also not assume anything about the past based on Hollywood TV shows made 50 years later...

You say "sitting US president" like it wasn't also a person directly encouraging a violent takeover of our government.
