Supporters of Luigi Mangione, the individual suspected of killing a CEO, have established a defense fund. This action has sparked a wave of diverse reactions online, ranging from outright support to strong condemnation. Some commenters explicitly advocate for similar actions against other CEOs, citing grievances related to healthcare costs and corporate greed. These individuals seem to view Mangione’s actions as justified, even heroic, within the context of a larger struggle against what they perceive as systemic oppression by wealthy elites.
The creation of the defense fund itself is seen by some as a necessary response to what they feel is an overreach by authorities.… Continue reading
The allure of figures like Baudet, AfD, and Salvini lies in their ability to exploit the very real anxieties and insecurities of certain segments of society. Their followers, often those with limited resources and education, feel a sense of desperation amidst economic instability and social change. They are easily manipulated by the narrative of “the other,” the migrant, the LGBTQ+ individual, the “undeserving” recipient of government aid, who is presented as the enemy stealing their hard-earned privileges and leaving them behind.
This fear is skillfully amplified by these politicians, who paint a picture of a zero-sum game, where any benefit given to “the other” comes at the expense of their own wellbeing.… Continue reading
Amidst a cacophony of sarcastic remarks and disbelief, the news of Kamala Harris potentially providing healthcare for all seems to have struck a nerve with a certain individual.

The state of affairs in America is disheartening and deeply concerning. The fact that US billionaires have doubled their wealth since the 2017 Trump tax overhaul is not only unjust but highlights a glaring issue of wealth inequality in our society. The wealthiest individuals in the country have seen astronomical increases in their net worth, while the average American continues to struggle to make ends meet.
It is outrageous to think that the top 10 US billionaires are all centi-billionaires now, with figures like Jeff Bezos boasting a net worth of $198 billion. This exponential growth in wealth, especially in such a short period, is a direct result of policies that favor the rich at the expense of the majority of Americans.… Continue reading
