Luigi Magione's assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson is the most interesting political rorschach test we've seen in quite some time. Armed with a 3D printed gun, good looks and an Ivy League background, Magione officially launches us into the Neo-Gilded Age that is the Trump Era. We talk about propaganda of the deed, nihilism and how we love being back in the 1890s. Johan, in usual form, launches into fraudian-marxian explenations and Carl just enjoys riding the Tiger.
Also shout out to our first, unreleased mind you, episode - Uncle Ted Kaczynski who's been linked to the infinitley more good looking Mr. Magione. It also begs the question - in our vapid, social media- and visually driven age is being a genious and actually knowing how to write trump good looks? Food for thought.
