The Man who leaked Luigi's Manifesto (FULL INTERVIEW/NO CUTS)
Added 2024-12-21 00:09:02 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Coming to you a block from MDC, where Diddy, El Mayo, Sam Bankman-Fried and Luigi are being held.
Here's our interview with an investigative journalist named Ken Klippenstein, who chose to leak the manifesto of Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Maryalnd man who is alleged to have assassinated the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson around two weeks ago.
He's been described by the media as a deranged and unhinged lunatic - which could be possibly true, but as we've now learned, there's more to the story. ..
Before doing what he did, Luigi published a brief manifesto outlining his motive. This document was withheld from publishing by mainstream outlets, who followed the advice of the U.S. State Department, who classified Luigi as a terrorist and advised that:
“The publication of terroristic manifestos may inadvertently glorify the perpetrator.”
However, Ken chose to leak the manifesto for reasons which he outlines in this interview. I'm aware there are some minor audio issues with my vocal track, but we're getting those figured out for final cut .. just wanted to get this out to you as fast as humanly possible.

2024-12-29 15:47:44 +0000 UTCWhat’s bad about this take? I feel like most of this is pretty logically driven I see little to no bias and just honest account of the facts.

2024-12-29 11:02:23 +0000 UTCHopefully this is a wake up call to the greedy cunts who run our bullshit overpriced healthcare system. Although private health insurance IS an unnecessary parasitic middleman, their profit margins are only about 5-10%. Its big pharma that profits hugely off of publicly funded research, and the hospitals who charge $60 for a box of kleenex in a hospital room for an overnight stay...and like he says, why is big pharma allowed to get away with charging thousands of dollars a year for insulin when it costs pennies on the dollar to make?

Smedley Butler is truest American patriot here 🇺🇸👌 “War is a Racket”. What they are truly afraid of is “terror” in the ballot box.. the young going 3rd way and voting to strip capitalist elites/corporate lobby of their command of a fallen $laver empire. The veil has been torn. The cat is out of the bag. The public has Ch. 5 doing the people’s journalism out here in the streets.

2024-12-28 19:08:58 +0000 UTCnot doubting his reporting in any way just flat out curious but at the beginning of the video is he reading? If he is it'd be great to know that he was reading from a pre-written and well thought out essay to that first question rather than have it seem as though he was saying this all off the cough? Disclaimer: I day drank and haven't even finished the entire video or even read the description + comments. I still spelled everything well. Love you all happy new years and merry christmas but whats he reading?

The mainstream media just doesn't understand why we all collectively just shrugged when this faceless CEO was murdered. They don't understand our struggle. They want to placate us and get back in the factory. We deserve DIGNITY and we deserve QUALITY HEALTHCARE.

2024-12-21 12:32:01 +0000 UTCIs it the “not understanding” of those privileged? or is it wilful ignorance at questioning the foundations of their own security? Questions that lead to sanctions, exclusion and guilt… I swear cognitive dissonance is the biggest sickness of our time.

chef pierre
2024-12-21 04:20:14 +0000 UTCadding a more technical AI description here because I studied data science in college and feel like Ken didn't get at the roots here: AI, to put it in the most crude way possible, generates the "average" response based on a series of inputs. so if you have data on a series of 100 patients with similar characteristics (age, gender) and 80% of them were denied coverage for a specific medication, an AI system trained on this data would likely advise that another patient with similar characteristics should also be denied care. AI is particularly powerful because it can accept a large range of inputs and be optimized in nuanced ways to produce different outputs. there's a saying in data science, "garbage in, garbage out" where if you're making a predictive model and using extremely biased data (such as data from a company that recklessly denies claims), the AI model making claims decisions is really only capable of doing the same. the key is that narratives around technology are that it is superior to human capabilities or is "the future", so people theoretically are more willingly accept it-- or be forced to because they literally have no recourse. nuanced model optimization also means that outputs can also be corrected to optimize for cost savings or insert promotional content (coming up from google and chatgpt).

Daniel Flores
2024-12-21 03:29:24 +0000 UTCHere's my personal example of how insurance decides care with ai. I had hormone positive breast cancer and discovered I was at risk for ovarian cancer so I had my breasts and ovaries removed. As the hormones left my body I found myself in menopause and was suffering from intense hot flashes that were keeping me awake all night, which was contributing to other health issues. My doctor wrote me a prescription for a non-hormonal targeted hot flash treatment. The insurance company said they would not pay for it so we sent in our first appeal through my oncologist. They had to explain my condition to the insurance company, and the necessity for non-hormonal hot flash treatment. The insurance company said no again and we continued with further appeals which were all rejected. After each appeal is rejected you receive a letter in the mail saying why it was rejected and telling you the medications that they will cover that they suggest I take. They listed three medications all of which are hormones. Hormones which would kill me. There's not a person I can talk to that I can reason with and explain. There's a system that keeps giving us the same answer over and over. I pay for a gold plan, out of pocket, through our state Health Care Exchange. The cost is $1,400 a month for my family of four. My medication is $600. Make it make sense? I have a ton of stories about my experiences with health insurance including the fact that I didn't have it for years, as a protest against the health insurance industry. Kaiser Permanente made me almost commit Luigicide. Not a joke but I won't go into the details. I was uninsured until I was diagnosed with cancer then the threat from the healthcare providers of chemo bankrupting me forced me back into the system. I've since found out that they can reject certain types of chemo for people and my oncologist nurse have seen people die waiting to get their chemo approved. Even with the gold plan I still had to pay a percentage of everything including my necessary tests and my double mastectomy I'm still getting bills from random people involved with my surgery. I live in Washington State and I'm happy to chat with anyone about my experience.

2024-12-21 02:59:52 +0000 UTCI think a lot of Americans, regardless of political affiliation, feel abandoned by the government and mainstream media, which have been poisoned by corporate blood money. That environment seems to incentivize people to look past the crimes committed by people who politically align with them. I feel like a lot of people riding hard for Luigi maybe wouldn't be so invested if they felt healthcare reform was actually an issue the government was taking seriously at all.
