The people who benefit from life being bad for 99% of us, pick small marginalized groups and blame them.

Yep.

I am deeply disappointed in my fellow americans, and I absolutely find our conservatives in particular to be selfish, bigoted, reprehensible pricks, but bottom line is there's no war but class war.

It's not the death of a CEO that makes Luigi Mangione so scary to the 1%. They give no shits about his life any more than they do ours. They can beef up their security and go back to ignoring the herd of human resources just like before.

But folks on the US left and right were vocally behind him for a time. I think it shocked everyone, at all levels, a little bit, at how relatively little it took to rouse some class-consciousness. It was definitely noticed.

Edit - I suspect, but do not know, that this is also somewhat true for Elon and Tesla. I have this feeling that there's a sizable chunk of the US-right who hate him just as much as the US-left does, they just don't feel empowered to openly express it.

Not very damn much it would seem. I still think you've got some misdirected hostility though.

Some dummy with a sign “It’s not supposed to be like this!”

I mean, it's not supposed to be like this.

Well that's it folks, farmers are immune from consequences for their actions because they provide an essential service. Pack that schadenfreude back up and use it someplace else!

The screenshot in a recent meme post reminded me of this awesome old gem. 😁
