My brother in Christ, YOU and EVERYONE around you has the power to shift the political context.

You are really downplaying the situation. Fascists are in power in an increasingly number of countries and are currently at the head of the most powerful and influential one. It's only a matter of time before any action against them will be illegal, if not virtually infeasible. Counter-powers are already dying fastly, and any way to protest may be outdated tomorrow.

Believing in a fairytale don't make it real either. We know since decades that ultrarich people are a nonsense, but we're still not remotely close of a universal wealth tax, so it's unlikely it will happens someday, especially in the current political context.

There's no way that's ever gonna happen, rich people are too powerful and influent, even poor people are treating them as demigods.

Too bad history has showed us that when a new technology appears, bad uses of it tends to become the norm.

"Amid global decline"

Totally not uplifting.

"Gattaca" and "Brave new world" are becoming reality.

The launch of the injection faces potential threats, including the Trump administration's proposed cuts to federal funding for HIV prevention efforts.

So it's not that uplifting

I'm doubtful they will make it.

Doesn't change my argument, since i wouldn't recommend to drink crude oil either.

But it's a fallacy because the -supposed- naturalness of something doesn't say anything about its righteousness. Petrol is natural, but highly poisonous, and clothes are unnatural but pretty necessary. And the call to nature argument can be pretty dangerous since it's often used in favor of pseudomedical practices. And without talking about the hypocrisy of the argument when it's used against queer people, since the people using it doesn't have any problem form many unnatural things.

Could someone explain how it would make trans people less respectable if they were not natural (whatever the word natural is supposed to mean)?

If the "Bootlickers" are the people outside of the club of the oblivious Mangione fanboys, i'm proud to be one of them.

Says the one who licks Mangione's boots.

Personnally, i find pretty worrying that vigilantism is so normalized that a murder is qualified as "uplifting", i don't wanna live in a neo-far west where private justice is the norm.
And before deifing Mangione, you should have checked his political background, because the guy is openly "anti-woke", that means he likely doesn't care about the political implications of his murder and acted in a pure selfish way.

The amount of fame he got is insane, he even have fanfictions on wattpad.

It's pretty disturbing to see this news in the top 10 of a such community. Apparently, many people want to go back to the far-west where it was normal to use the talion law.
And since many Luigi's fanboys are treating him as a hero for committing his crime, i wonder who many people claiming he is innocent and has been unfairly accused are just hypocrites.

It's a tiktok trend, that means it will last 1 month at best, then people will move on to another trend and forgetting this one ever existed.

I don't see the connection with my post.

Most of the people supporting him are convinced he's guilty, but think that his murder makes him a hero.

Why him particulary? Countless persons are in the same situation without having their legal defense crowdfunded.
