Comment on Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural
steeznson@lemmy.world 3 months agoI don’t want to mass respond to all the replies but what I meant was:
- The UK healthcare system is as predatory as the US one
- This is a crime (arguable justifiable) which has taken place in another country
- We shouldn’t transpose politics from other countries onto our own where they don’t fit. A lot of the moral intricacies of this case are idiosyncratic to USA’s crazy system.

This is such a nonsensical take. It’s art. Just because we don’t have the same system here doesn’t mean people don’t understand or shouldn’t have opinions on it. Do you listen to American music? Watch American TV programs or films? If so, why? They transpose politics from the States and therefore should be avoided.
Everyone, no matter where they live, is entitled to their opinion. Even if it is nonsensical.

It’s pretty much the 2025 equivalent of a Che Guevara t-shirt/poster

So what dude? Just because you don’t like or understand it doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t. He’s become a symbol for of rebellion for millions of people across the globe.
Che Guevara. Luke Skywalker. Robin Hood. Guy Fawkes. Neo. Katniss Everdeen. Joan of Arc. Fucking Moses FFS. All figures of rebellion. All standing up against oppression. All now considered heroes. Luigi Mancioni is now one of them. Just deal with it.

Ok, I feel like we’ve both explained our positions here. Let’s agree to disagree.
