GoFundMe pages are the latest example of support for Luigi Mangione, and the public's frustration with the health insurance industry.

“We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn’t just about one individual—it’s about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness,” read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.

    A friend of mine had a very well paying job in tech. Then she had a major injury. Without money paid by her well off parents she would have died. Insurance was stingy as hell.

        Ok, so now instead of ‘eat the rich’ we’re going ‘eat everyone except for the absolute poor’, right?

          I’m just saying the image most people have of Luigi Mangione is pure fiction.

          The rich should always have been afraid, but that is besides the point that the best possible outcome for all of us is to become real political activists and help elect people who will bring about real change without encouraging violence in the streets. Or at the very least have some way to organize to the point of actually agreeing on which targets are greenlit, but that’s basically impossible. Just yesterday I saw some kid talk about offing the Funko Pop CEO for taking down Itch Io, another dude advocating arson on a McDonalds in the mall.

            With this best outcome I agree, it would be nice if there were less violence, not more.
