As always
Jesus fucking Christ
That too may also be satire.
This is perfect honestly.
Contrast this satire against smirking fascist apologia like 'the empire did nothing wrong' and consider how many idiot fascists cannot tell the difference.
So Mangione is Wormtail?
You're not as wrong as the downvotes make you out to be, Luigi was a tech bro born into immense privilege that tried to start a stoicism club and believed in effective altruism, him murdering a ceo is like a dedicated fan boy of ceos suddenly stabbing one of his heroes. The only difference is I don't think Luigi worked for shitface mcgenocidethepoor or whatever the cockstain's name was that got what he deserved.
I'm only wrong if this wasn't meant to be an allegory for the United Healthcare slaying. I don't think the downvotes are about whether someone is right or wrong.
I'd say at least half the downvotes are from getting Grima Wormtongue's name wrong.
And the other from the people who forgot how he dies in the books.
Well, that certainly could be it. Didn't Dumbledore call him Wormtail at some point?
I think he started to but he got force choked by Vader during. It's a long standing fan argument.
Honestly a pretty good lens to look at this
