      If only Thomas Jefferson had somehow managed to cap a member of English Royalty. Instead, then Jefferson crossed the pond to suck up to Louis XVI, shortly before the man went full Ropespierre’s Necktie.

    Yes it is. So what. The rich glorifies violence against the poor.

    The leader of the country once said: “When the looting starts, the shooting starts”

    So if its apparantly okay to use violence against alledged thieves (which is not okay btw, stealing should never equate a death sentence), then it must be okay to use violence against mass murderer CEOs.

    “When the denying starts, the deposing starts” would be my rebuttal to that phase the ex-president said. Violence begets violence.

      The reason violence against “looters” is permitted stems from their violation of the principles of the American caste system

      Contrary to popular belief, you are not allowed to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. You are only allowed to help yourself when you’ve received lending permission from a state recognized philanthropic sponsor. Otherwise, you are supposed to quietly drown in your own filth, where it isn’t inconvenient for anyone higher on the totem pole than you.

      The caste system is sacred. Brian Thompson earned his position. Luigi Mangione deserved his miserable fate.

    Anyone with half a brain can see that it isn’t “glorifying” violence, it’s merely giving an explanation of why Luigi did what he did. Glorification would play more into pathos, but the manifesto is mostly ethos
