I think Cardioking pacemaker is failing.

You are correct! Plus, although I am certain there is not a "revolutionary situation", to use a trotskyist category, if we look back at history most revolutionary leaders came from privileged classes or groups. They led, the masses followed.

That is one of the most interesting things in this case. However, and evidently, his massive following do not see that, or see it and find it irrelevant.

As you know, my interest in Luigi Mangione’s case lies less in its legal intricacies and more in the broader cultural and political ripple effects it has triggered. Labeling his act as terrorism, I think, is likely to increase his popularity. As you pointed out, framing the murder/assassination as an attack against society itself elevates its significance. However, one of the fundamental challenges we face today is the erosion of a cohesive, integrated society. Instead, we see a landscape of fragmented individual and collective interests often in conflict, edging closer to anarchy. For his supporters, this act will be seen as yet another example of the privileged elite protecting their own power and self-interest at the expense of the majority. In their eyes, this narrative reinforces the deep divisions and inequities already present in our systems. That said, I believe the system will assert itself in this case, and Luigi will likely face condemnation. However, the broader implications of his act’s popularity cannot be ignored. I suspect that many big heads in Corporate America are scared, and we may start to see measures aimed at addressing—or at least appearing to address—the widening gaps that Luigi’s act popularity is highlighting and enhancing. This continues to get more and more interesting.

And another school shooting with so far three kids dead, counting the shooter. This is what I am talking about, the issue is not only greedy corporations and crazy hot vigilantes.

I do not think we understand what is going on here. I know I do not. We have teens killing themselves, teens rooting for other teens to kill themselves, parents who cannot control their children, vigilantes patrolling the streets, facts do not exist anymore, when we debate we do not try to understand the other but to destroy the other, truth has no value as instead what ever our tribe defends becomes truth, a privileged guy executes another privileged guy and the majority reacts cheering the killing and asking for the killer freedom, the list can go on and on and on. And this is not only the US, but I also see it at least in Argentina and Brazil. But we still pretend to understand and still root for our decades/centuries long beliefs like we know what is going on. I am fascinated at the reaction at Luigi's act, and thrilled at whatever is coming because I am always thrilled at radical change. But I am pessimistic about the direction this radical change is heading. And sometimes I am afraid that some day a student who perceived I did not treat them fairly or their relatives may attack me when I do not expect it. That is what I meant for disintegration and anomia. I do not think it is fruitful to look for scapegoats and assign responsibilities and guilt, or to continue to try to understand reality from the same frame we are used to. I do think that our technology changed faster than our culture, and the process to make the necessaries adjustments is not going to be nice.

The problem is that these systemic flaws transcend the US health care system. I agree with the friends sounding the alarm of disintegration and anomia.

There is a paywall. Would you copy and paste, please?

I thought we were all grown up adults here, but I may have been wrong.

While he is becoming more and more popular. Copycats may flourish as the CEO hunting season may be opening. This assassination may trigger unexpected changes.

You have to comb through all the dick thirst and the finger pointing, but there are some interesting contributions there.

And the last one:

Did I say he will become a hero? I think I lacked of imagination.
