History has innumerable examples of not only opposition being curtailed, but even more that allies, friends and helpers are dealt with even faster–and harsher. After all, someone who has shown violence in order to get a ‘better person’ into office, is not going to be tolerated in the slightest once the ideal is achieved.

“It’s not just Luigi anymore,” Finkelstein said. “We’re seeing an expansion: Trump, Musk and others are now being openly discussed as legitimate targets, often cloaked in meme culture and gamified online dialogue.”

The NCRI study traces the cultural shift back to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione in December 2024.

Yeah, about that. Didn’t it take turn to «Different backpack, different jacket….only a $10k reward lol. What a joke,» immediately?

And wonder of wonders, 5 days later a suspect was detained… still carrying the same gun, and manifesto. What a joke, indeed.

“These are not isolated opinions,” the report states. “They are part of a tightly connected belief system linked to what we call left-wing authoritarianism.”

Why “authoritarianism”? Some of these clowns would do among the Socialist Revolutionary gang.

Stolypin: Look, how about you guys get a coherent programme and become a lead government faction and out of everyone’s hair?

SRs: Haha, no, we have fun being terrorists.

The next contenders: Uh huh… (scribbles down memo to self: «exterminate SR like rabid dogs the moment we can»)
