What I love about Luigi - A great comment 🖤

This killing, this individual act of war, would mean nothing, and get no support, if it wasn’t a shot fired in a war that was already ongoing

"Imagine, if you will, a thought experiment, in Minecraft, many miles away. Let’s imagine I wanted to write an article in support of Luigi Mangione, the assassin of health insurance CEO Brian Thompson. Wouldn’t that be strange? How would I do that?

By telling you – it’s not about him.

The real attraction of the CEO killer, however handsome he may be, is not him: it’s us. The last few days have seen our misery laid bare, but above all they have seen our glorious rage rise to the surface and cover the world like lava. These have been amazing days, because of what beautiful connection I’ve seen in your eyes....."

‚A 29-year-old California man has been arrested for allegedly causing $500 million in damage when he set fire to a Kimberly-Clark warehouse to protest the cost of living and the Iran War.
“All you had to do was pay us enough to live,” the Justice Department’s indictment alleges he said in video posted to Instagram.

„[T]hey had it coming … fucking eight hours, six days … stuck paying rent on a bullshit ass apartment that I can’t afford to fucking live … pedophiles out here fucking children, profiting off … fucking wars.”

In a press conference, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli went out of his way to stress that the defendant had “compared himself to Luigi Mangione” in a comment to a witness.‘

I think it’s funny that the prosecutor thinks such a comment helps his case.

Just another right wing, who cannot read the room

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @autonomysolidarity

Do these random lone acts of violent rebellion, clearly motivated by political economy, but not organised within labour movement or political party structures, speak of America's cultural individualism, or the weakness of its left political organisation ?

@GeofCox @autonomysolidarity

I don’t think that really applies because if you think about the Arab spring, it crystallized over a single individual setting himself on fire in despair.

With any social phenomenon, then I think the history of the anti-Vietnam movement as another example is smaller scale outbursts of defiance or revenge anticipate collective action later
