Luigi is a rich libertarian techbro bordering on AI cultist. he likes Thiel and Musk, he thinks that human immortality is feasible, that AI will outsmart us all real soon, and bought in in a bunch of other tpot/longtermist/ea horseshit hook line and sinker. he also only started caring about state of healthcare industry when it touched him personally. he’s not leftist in any useful meaning of this word
I don’t know if recently we switched sides and socialism became equivalent with primitivism. But industrialization and embrace of science a technology was a big part of socialism when it started in the xix century.
I don’t buy the primitivism take, sorry. It’s sad that people don’t buy pregnant sonic commissions $80 a piece in etsy because some open source AI does a better job for free. But it has nothing to do with socialism or the struggle of the working class.
I just say that the embrace of primitivism and the reject of progress will lead to conservative and reactionary ideologies, not progress and certainly not socialism. Without job automation working class lives would be miserable, there is not even a chance of socialism without technology.
(literally writing this from lab) i’m not calling him a techbro because i have some kind of disdain for tech workers, i’m calling him a techbro because he’s chasing unviable or harmful ideas or tech from old scifi that his cult (or at least was influenced by ideas typically associated with that cult) adopted as a part of doctrine. things like cryonics, some sketchy supplements that are supposed to give extreme life extension, or AI and quantum computing (because they think simulation = actual thing, and they hope to achieve immortality with AI). you might start to think that i’m batshit crazy just by explaining it, but i assure you it’s them, and these people will be part of american government really soon. start there https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/LessWrong
in no place i’m saying “technology bad”, i’m saying there’s plenty of harmful tech being pushed for profit and Luigi went full in in that sector. other than healthcare, that is
he also only started caring about state of healthcare industry when it touched him personally.
So just like about 2/3’s of humanity, huh?
Further, Guevara himself has a pretty shitty history with hating on LGBTQ+ for no good fuckin reason, so I’d say it actually fits pretty well. He was a pretty shitty leftist as well. He was also well educated and a physician. Not so different than Mangione, huh?
Any group which still believes in “strong men” being saviors doesn’t actually believe in things like equality and equity.

and Guevara was a Stalinist. Though nobody’s perfect.
Putting people in boxes like this is how the working class divided itself.

Mlk was an adulterer, and ghandi was a hardcore mysoginist.
Stop picking apart revolutionary minds.
zeroth of all, they were figureheads in large organizations. luigi has none of that
besides, there’s no improvement without criticism
