Luigi mangione was recently accused of being responsible for the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO earlier this month. I would first like to point out the irony that the media continues to refer to this killing as an "assassination", implying that there were political motives. it's like they are unknowingly admitting that the rich have the most power in america, more power than the people. Secondly, i would like to mention that as I am writing this, Mangione's trial has not yet been held and he has not been declared guilty. In fact, he pleads not guilty. The media continues to write as if it is confirmed HE is 100% without a doubt the killer. what happened to innocent until proven guilt? people are quick to defend the rich and powerful in all of their many shady cases, but immediatly accept this highly intelligent, ivy league graduate as some sort of assassin. the "evidence" found on him was also very questionable. We are supposed to believe that a man as smart as him was just casually carrying around the murder weapon, thousands of dollars in forgein money, his fake ID, and the same clothes from the crimescene. and yet, they also reported that the jacket was abandoned in central park.
either way, this will prove to be a very interesting trial. but what effect will it have on the people? they are too distracted debating identity politics and consuming trash shoved down their throats by the media in order to keep them subdued. the best way to control a population is to make them comfortable enough to wear they don't realize they are being controlled and manipulated, but struggle enough to never unite and rebel. i am reminded of the BLM protests in 2020. Little changes were made and yet the cries died down as people got bored or distracted. When will america finally be radicalized? how many more people need to die before the masses realize they are being toyed with?
