    Am I better than someone that legally murdered hundreds of thousands for cheering someone that illegally murdered that 1 person? Yes. Yes I am.

      My point is, using the opportunity to open the debate on the complete despair of people oppressed by private healthcare is the way to go. Let’s just not make this about revenge on the rich CEOs involved. Removing their privilege is revenge enough.

        I agree… like on a theoretical level. Then, USA is what it is, with their school shootings and all. So, what Luigi Mangione (or someone else) did should be seen in that context. There’s a certain virtue in knowing to direct your anger/ despair to those causing, enjoying, and profiting over your misery. And it wasn’t a mere revenge act, it is full of symbolism if only because here we are, discussing it.

        Removing their privilege is revenge enough.

        And how would you do that? By voting very hard?
