Luigi Mangione shouts a message to the American people on his way to court:

“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”

What is the the punishment when a Duke's son kills a Baron?

People coming from privilege can still be progressive and want to enact change. I'm not sure why you're denigrating this man and his actions based solely on the circumstances of his birth.

“And yes, I recognize the irony that the very system I oppose affords me the luxury of biting the hand that feeds. But that’s exactly why priviledged fucks like me should feel obliged to whine and kick and scream - until everyone has everything they need.” - Propagandhi, “Resisting Tyrannical Government”

Ironically, they’re the ones with the most time and education to figure out the truth. Then their own (wealthy) family will turn on them when they try for change.

When it comes to class struggle, the best education is lived experience.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If that was true, the american working class would be more class aware.

Good point. Although in my experience rich people with good education are generally very bad representatives for the working class. The people I’ve met that do the best work regarding unionisation and organising are people who learned about class struggle through personal experience.

Mangione's grandparents may be rich, but they're nowhere near the level of a national company CEO rich. So you've got it backwards; this is like a Baron's grandson killing a Duke.

Jihad.
