Luigi Mangione, who is charged with first-degree murder in the ambush killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, made the comments on a website set up by his defense.
Luigi is a global hero. I'm European and think most people of the world can relate since they experience the same consequences of (ruthless) capitalism.
Although I don't approve violence, trend today everywhere is that countries are run like companies and common folk, especially poor ones, are considered as "garbage it the way". Export industry being the nearest and dearest.
There should be a way to return the societies focus back to citizens. By the time AGI comes along this should be fixed or common people will be royally fucked.

It would be nice if they paid attention to the overwhelming pop culture references of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s that referenced struggle.
The audacity that the most powerful and richest of the dumbs dumbs adopts psy-punk like it isn't a reference to oligarchs and shitty decisions with power and money tells me he is just shallow asshole that thinks he knows more than those that read them.
Gibson, Orwell, Stephenson, Moore, Palahniuk, Bradbury, and many others wrote fantasies that encapsulated these notions and yet it falls on deaf ears. They are indeed forcing our hands.
They see these villains and go "damn they look cool" and never think "maybe he's an asshole" with some self reflection.
I scoffed at the "thoughts and payers upvote" but perhaps it will get more support from the people who wont/cant afford to donate and further show the level of support he is getting from the general public
