I wonder, what's more expensive: a decent wage for warehouse workers or the aftermath of a $600m arson?

No, he gets a place in there alright. Also, Luigi might be innocent. People find killing others not palatable (unless they're brown people on the other side of the world), but causing material damage with no human causalities? That resonates a lot more.
Also, there's an Amazon warehouse in Queens, NY burning right now as we speak. Possible copycat.

Ain't no 'might be', he is. I saw that dude helping an old lady cross the road on in Miami on the evening of the shooting and I know it was him because he said 'Hello my name is Luigi Mangione' and showed me his driver's license without me having to ask, such a nice kid.

It's true, I had been discouraging the lady from crossing the street at the time. "You'll never make it! You don't have what it takes anymore!" I was saying, but Luigi wasn't having it.

As in WArehouse Luigi.

Luigi made the rich more fearful than this dude but I think his acts have more potential for virality because his act was much more simple and not straight up killing another human(well at least human on paper). Person to person violence is not something most humans want to participate in unless they absolutely must to survive, destruction of property, especially property they likely dread going to for their jobs, is a far more palatable action for the average person to engage in.
In Minecraft obviously

His brain has been rotted by capitalism

Ha ha, I know, he is protecting our American values, of mega corporations crushing our democracy and , uh values, as laid out in the constitution.
He is playing to the administration and their backers, for promotion. They are all parasites.

Remember, corporation man: Living wages are cheaper than a revolution! Bonus, you get to keep your neck intact! 😉

We are all inspired by these men.
His name was Robert paulson. Or something.

Based on LA Times reporting, I consider him more of a Milton.
Still valid, though. Living wages are cheaper than over half a B in paper products.
teyrnon@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 167d
Who is Milton?
neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 167d
Milton from the movie Office Space.

Ah thanks, I never got into that one much for whatever reasons.

It's a good movie, definitely worth a watch. Especially if you've ever had a pointless job you hated.
Here's a milton-summary. NB: spoilers.

Seems like things are getting started, based on this story you could say things are really heating up.
