#I've been radicalized for a while now but I feel like there were different events that radicalized me more and more#like I first became radicalized just like by becoming a history major and understanding how the world works#and then I got further radicalized when I started working in retail especially experiencing going on strike#but the uhc shooting case is also radicalizing me more i think#because like I knew the government cared more about the lives of ceos than the rest of us#but seeing the case play out in real time really drives the point home#mass shootings happen in the usa and they offer nothing but thoughts and prayers#one ceo gets shot and they set up helplines and increase security without thinking “hmmm why do people hate us”#and the way they're tacking on all these bullshit charges like TERRORISM to make an example of him#and I read they're considering persuing federal charges#if luigi mangione had shot some random person it would be a straightforward second degree murder charge#but it was a ceo so now he's a terrorist and might be tried federally#and people are too busy arguing about whether murder is wrong or not to focus on the bigger issue#which is that some lives are valued more by the government than others#and the justice system is inherently unfair in the way it reflects that#and we're seeing it play out in real time but people are focused on wrong issues#“oh so you condone murder” no murder is bad but why is Brian Thompson's life more important than anyone else's#why are police shootings not murder#why is bombing a foreign country not mass murder#why are people with white victims more likely to face the death penalty than people with black victims#~uhc shooting
