“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Post got removed in .world for not being a "news source" even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.

This guy is a reminder that health is the most important thing in life. He lost his health which led him to lose it all.

He lost it all because of capitalism.

he also had it all DUE TO CAPITALISM

With that being said, we don't don't get to pick our heros, they come as they. His work is what I judge him on.

We don't chose our family background. Many times class war leaders are part of the elites themselves but but at some point they see the reality and switch teams.

FDR was a disabled and I always assumed that his condition forced him to see the suffering of the working class so he sided with them. No peasant would ever be able to do what he did. He was the elite.

I see a lot of leftist political whores try to smear him based on his class... it is disgusting.

Tells you all you need to know about what sort of leftist they are.

As far as I'm aware he was not part of the owning class, he just had a good paying job, that does not make him a benefactor of capitalism.

Says the person who brought his class up.. 🤔

Look, I'm not trying to have a go, but honestly this is completely derailing from my point - health is not a virtue, nor is it in our control (despite what abled people love to believe), and being in ill health and or becoming disabled is only "losing it all" because of capitalism and abled supremacy, NOT because sick and disabled people's lives no longer have value (which is what the original comment implies).

His family owns income producing businessES. He has the background. I am not sure if he personally had access to the wealth though.

Check fake TV talking heads covering him, Cuamo, Shapiro, Fox News etc. Also there comment on lemmy suggesting similar. My comment was addressing that sentiment.
