    what i dont get is, to the average person at home, how does that alone not instantly radicalize you? most people support luigi and what he did. i get they use manipulative framing and shit but how can you see "man kills homeless man, is innocent. man kills ceo, is guilty" and not see what's going on here?

      Because a lot of Americans are classicist and hate the homeless more than they hate getting fucked over by insurance companies. They imagine themselves as someday becoming the wealthy CEO and can't imagine how easy it is to become homeless.

        But not without material position rationale - the average American owns an illusion of private property, through their home and vehicles, that they can barely pay for, as part of the settler project.

        But the western pure-bourgeois-capitalist of their country say "as much as you may have it bad, even as the poorest person; this is the best system that works so far, and to challenge it is to dismantle yourself".
