      Mangione’s grandparents may be rich, but they’re nowhere near the level of a national company CEO rich. So you’ve got it backwards; this is like a Baron’s grandson killing a Duke.

      People coming from privilege can still be progressive and want to enact change. I’m not sure why you’re denigrating this man and his actions based someone on the circumstances of his birth.

        Ironically, they’re the ones with the most time and education to figure out the truth. Then their own (wealthy) family will turn on them when they try for change.

        “And yes, I recognize the irony that the very system I oppose affords me the luxury of biting the hand that feeds. But that’s exactly why priviledged fucks like me should feel obliged to whine and kick and scream - until everyone has everything they need.” - Propagandhi, “Resisting Tyrannical Government”
