He’s an example of what a sick, distracted, narcissistic society that kicks down at the poor, does to a person’s mind over time. Helping people is not profitable to capitalists. He should not be idolized. If anything, feel sad for him. He was cast aside by society and it drove him to a dark place. It’s not something people have to understand, but they should at least understand why he arrived where he did.

You're interpreting the gunman as Joker.
I'm interpreting the gunman as Batman.

We are not the same.

Arthur fleck is an example of a failed healthcare system within a capitalist structure failing repeatedly and severely for not just the one individual, but everyone that sympathizes with him as the joker.

He's not a role model, but he is a hero, and he is inevitable in all similar situations.
