I love how the media spin on this has been a tale of two class traitors. The CEO growing up working class to make it through the deaths of those he left behind. The rich kid incarcerated for murdering the CEO. A true upending of the American dream that everyone wants. Well we told them they wanted it so they want it right?

This whole thing is the final funeral celebration for the toxicity that is the American dream.

The Book-keeper of Auschwitz, Walter Groenig, was convicted of 300,000 accessory murder charges for deaths he was involved in doing the paperwork for.

Brian Thompson also implemented policies that resulted in avoidable deaths.

Both were motivated by an ideology that made the killings ‘okay’ for some bullshit reaaons.

They are very much the same type of crime.

I think Edward Snowden showed us all how the US feels about heroes.

Mangione probably should have considered leaving the country… I guess, I’m sure he considered it.

Or he decided to just ride the entire “justice” system to truly reveal that it is rules for thee, not for me along every shitty step of the way.

A nudge in the right direction is a nudge in the right direction. Until there have been enough nudges to anger the beast.

It only takes one time; one revolution to change things.
