You can say whatever you want about this Luigi situation. There are some things you shouldn’t say about it on the internet.
But whatever you say, here’s the thing: it’s now a popular idea that powerful people should just be shot in the street because the American system is too corrupt for justice to be carried out any other way.
This isn’t a right-wing or left-wing view. The masses of people on both left and right agree with the general sentiment that the system is so broken that you would have to be retarded to think it is going to fix itself, while the establishment media of both left and right are telling people the system will start working any day now, we just need to sit and wait for it.
In a new poll, more than two-thirds of respondents said they believed denials of coverage and profits in the health insurance industry were partially responsible for the killing of Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO, in early December.Thompson was shot dead on the streets of Manhattan. His killer fled, sparking a nationwide manhunt, which ended when Luigi Mangione was arrested and charged with the killing after being arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. Mangione’s alleged writings indicated that he was angry at the US healthcare industry and saw it as exploitative.
The executive’s death also saw an outpouring of expressions of public anger towards the healthcare industry, with many Americans on social media sharing stories of poor experiences at the hands of the US profit-based healthcare system.
Almost 70% of respondents said “denials for health care coverage by health insurance companies” shared “a great deal” or a “moderate amount” of responsibility. Sixty-seven per cent said “profits made by health insurance companies” shared “a great deal” or a “moderate amount” of responsibility.
Twenty per cent of respondents to the new poll said “the individual who committed the killing” bore “only a little” responsibility or “none at all” for the death of Thompson. On the other hand, 78% said that person bore “a great deal” or a “moderate amount” of responsibility.
The fact that Luigi is handsome is a part of this, and certainly women are sexually obsessed with murderers. Every serial killer and mass shooter gets infinity amount of sex mail from women.
But that just fits into the emerging paradigm.
It’s literally a new paradigm. I know that term is used in marketing language and so on, but that is what this actually is. People are saying “well, I don’t think people should be shot in the street… but maybe they should be, actually?”
