Jon Stewart Unpacks The NOLA and Cybertruck Attacks & An Unusually Civil Jan. 6 | The Daily Show

[@sueklausshow]

Strangely the link between all three is health care. We have a veteran who may have had some PTSD who got radicalized. We have an active duty soldier with Traumatic Brain Injury who felt he could not get care from his service. And we have Luigi who suffered from bad health care, and so did his mother. Are we properly taking care of our citizens health? Our veterans health? Our active duty soldiers' health? Looks like a big fat NO.

As a non-American, reading the comments about Luigi Mangione, I feel that the American healthcare system problems are much darker that I would be able to imagine. It is quite concerning, that people are defending an assasin (I don't think his act counts as terrorism), it shows anger at the purposely broken healthcare system so deep that it outweighs a sense of order. One of the greatest traits of the democratic societieas and their state of law is the principle that disputes are solved by courts and violence is rare and unlegitimate. Sympathy for that assasin can be a sign of a crumbling social contract, when the societal system Americans live in is loosing its legitimacy. It shows a wounded society with insecure future. And that is sad to watch.

[@adamrodger5351]

Luigi is pretty fundamentally different from the others, though. His was a targeted attack; he said he considered using a bomb, but decided against it because he didn't want to hurt any bystanders. If not a majority, at least a significant minority of Americans actually *support* him and his actions, or at least *sympathize* with them. Not at all true with the others. Even his "manifesto" (I agree that the term is overused) was reasonable, calm, and measured. Love him or hate him, his situation is fundamentally different from the other two.

[@JadusMoltriel]

Over 60% of Americans under 34 have said they "strongly support/ agree with Luigi's actions" or they "somewhat support/ agree with his actions." The percentage of support lowers with each elder age range, yet even amongst the eldest group (65+), he received anywhere from 14%-23% support, which is actually MASSIVE considering that demographic. The fact there's any large age range that polls over half in favor of him, and that each other age has significant support of him, speaks volumes of how hurt and angry the population is regarding the healthcare system. Even amongst those who say they don't support his actions, they all had majorities answering that they "had little to no sympathy for the CEO". Despite being murdered, not one single age demographic in America has expressed sympathy for him by a majority. That's honestly mind-boggling. Perhaps we are closer to a French Revolution type event than it seems.

Luigi's manifesto was really not half-assed. If you want to argue that, at least read the whole thing. Come on, Jon. Have the guts the rest of the media doesn't. I don't feel like he needed to be discussed alongside these guys. None of the people who died in the other attacks were billionaires responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Here's the manifesto. Critique it if you want, but at least be specific: "“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.”

While this might be considered a wild view point, I do think that insisting to not make use of the topic of Luigi Mangione as a lead-in to further discussion of healthcare does not only do a disservice to the general populace among which Luigi garnered a lot of support for his healthcare related message, but also as a consequence of such pretty much objectively creates more harm than the killing of a CEO cruelly exploiting the lives of millions of other people for profit ever could. It is understandable to not glorify acts of vigilantism, however simply sweeping an issue so dire under the rug by merely presenting it as one among many detestable acts of terrorism, is something I cannot understand at all from this show and host respected by many.

[@msd7544]

I would like to add: Right after what Luigi did, Anthem BCBS went back on their already announced and ready for roll out anesthesia coverage plans. Doctors would have either refused to take the insurance because of the conditions or been pressured to work faster so the patient isn’t saddled with the ENTIRE anesthesia bill. Downright evil stuff. Just thought I’d mention this for those who heard Luigi’s actions were useless. Not saying I like the man’s methods but like it or not he got results. As for Jon… Sad to say but we should have known which side of the class war he’d be on.

I'm British, so my perspective may be a little skewed, but in my view, US healthcare companies are run by some of the most evil people there are.

He was lucid enough to know that there have been more well-researched versions of the critique he was making and recommended a book about it. Hardly the same.

[@hites05]

Couldn't agree more. Hope Jon isn't bending the knee to the owner class, but you never know...

[@grb-i2s]

All three are examples of terrorism, which is the use of violence in support of a political cause. You don't like including Luigi because you're sympathetic to his cause.

[@AnyangU]

Brilliant as always!

[@beanl]

Punching down on Luigi shows an incredible lack of social awareness.

[@user-kj9oz7lb8s]

You can't punch down on Luigi... he's wealthier, and comes from more privilege, than most people in this country.

[@joshrobinson8360]

And yet despiite his privilege he was still vulnerable to the Healthcare industry. Despite his wealth hes still closer to the 99 than the 1%. ​@user-kj9oz7lb8s

How can you punch down on someone vastly richer than you?

[@jiblitin1520]

Jon is rich, hence the lack of social awareness.

Agree

[@shamanftw4921]

He's always been corporate, he helped the media discredit and undermine OWS in the early 2010s and pushed a lot of "both sides are equally bad" narratives during the Obama Administration. The kind of rhetoric he pushed made MAGA possible.

Nice try to put Luigi Mangione in the same camp as the other two. Really figured out of all the U.S. shows John would have a better take on Luigi and his action but it's the same dogshit as everywhere else.

Lumping Luigi Mangione in with those two is a fundamental disconnect with American people. You can have that one, Jon, don't get that opinion anywhere near me.

[@FinalBossWTMN]

For decades John has been telling us about the truth of how it's not right versus left or white versus black or men versus women, it's the wealthy elites against the rest of us. Luigi is the first time right and left have United and held that viewpoint. And yet Jon refuses to talk on that at all only willing to make a few light jokes as if this was just another random killing. I've been a lifelong fan Jon and I have never seen you blatantly avoid a topic that hits so incredibly close to home before just what exactly is going on with you avoiding discussing Luigi and his actions

[@RobertPine89]

If you want in depth review of Luigi and healthcare etc. etc. go watch Jon Oliver.... The Daily Show isn't that show and never has been.

The rich are so desperate to paint Luigi as some kind of terrorist that they've got Jon Stewart himself out here both-sidesing the issue

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

And here you are 'my side'-ing it. He's a terrorist by definition. Stop acting like what you think of their cause alters that fact. To seek political ends through fear-inspiring violence. He didn't do it for someone he lost, personally. That would have been revenge, vendetta. Grudge. Not political ideology. Even if I think some Corpos have coming, we don't get to appoint ourselves Movers of the Goalposts.

I guarantee that you didn’t vote. Let me guess you voted uncommitted because you didn’t get your way politically ? Or maybe it’s the fact that you guys sabotaged the democrats to be united to beat Trump. How about you quit moving the goal post and spout disinformation? Grow up.

Jon, I've been a fan ever since covid, when I was only eleven years old. Your show helped shape my worldview and question the establishment in the name of the people. And now you do this? Luigi Mangione is not a terrorist and I thought you, at least, would be able to talk about him in a better way. I almost died in the NICU as a baby because my parents health insurance was wrong- that's who Luigi is speaking for, the people. You, clearly, are not.
