Americans Are So Easy to Deceive

On December 19th, the gunman Luigi Mangione, who shot the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, has been formally extradited from the arrested Pennsylvania prison to New York for trial. The focus wasn’t on the extradition or the trial but on the few photos captured by the media. Americans sure know how to mythologize, at least the photographers are truly professional; just look at the composition, the tones – Mangione is practically an image of “Jesus” martyred for the American people.

Americans don’t care about heroes from other nations, nor do they care about heroes dying for other nations, but for the “martyrs” imprisoned for resisting their own capitalist tyranny, they praise generously and deify fiercely. Look at this group of expressionless imperial lapdogs, capitalist lackeys looking as if they’re facing a formidable enemy, while he stands in the middle, even the orange prison uniform exudes a saintly aura, almost like the “sole light.”

Luigi’s photos are going viral online

Even within the Western narrative framework, Mangione fits the superhero archetype perfectly; an Italian-American rich kid, handsome, a scholar, an algorithm engineer, an indie game developer… with his ghost gun deed, he took down the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, the capitalist preying on the masses.

This is what defying the class looks like! Killing Brian Thompson wasn’t for personal vendetta, but to settle the score with the unscrupulous capitalists sucking the blood of the American people.

While volunteering at his own nursing home, Luigi Mangione witnessed the dire situation of patients denied insurance coverage by insurance companies, fueling his anger. He then plotted the shooting of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare. The average insurance denial rate in the U.S. is 16%, but UnitedHealthcare’s denial rate is 32%, with “denying coverage” becoming their profit model, and UnitedHealthcare executives earning millions annually. The slain CEO, Brian Thompson, once boasted during his tenure about further increasing the company’s denial rate… these parasites take pride in this!

The bullets found at the crime scene were inscribed with “Deny, Defend, Depose,” common phrases used by insurance companies to deny coverage and evade claims.

Luigi Mangione left a manifesto – “These parasites had it coming” Mangione’s arrest was also due to a tip-off from a McDonald’s employee; see, in one case, two defiers of the class emerged.

This case is played out extremely beautifully, from the perpetrator to the victim, to America’s judicial machinery, media coverage, public reactions… everything coordinated to perfection, almost like a Hollywood movie script, reminiscent of The Big Short.

Currently, Hollywood is indeed stirring, planning to shoot a movie or documentary about him. Firstly, documentary director Alex Gibney, who previously filmed the documentary The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley about Elizabeth Holmes, the “female Steve Jobs” of Silicon Valley. Gibney stated that the documentary will focus on “From the crime’s seemingly meticulous execution to the alleged killer’s manifesto and his Ivy League background to the public’s unapologetic apathy towards the victim, the investigative deep dive will ask how killers are created, what this killing says about our society and the values we place on who lives and who dies.”

Another documentary director, Stephen Morse, known for the highly popular Netflix documentary “Amanda Knox,” is set to create a documentary based on Luigi Mangione’s life. He intends to explore different viewpoints related to the murder and its consequences, involving the victims, their families, Mangione, and the ethical dilemmas arising from Thompson’s murder. In addition to delving into the case, the documentary will offer a historical background on a contentious issue in America, the privatization of health insurance.

In fact, in response to Mangione’s admirers, the U.S. has started a new wave of White Terror.

The aftermath of the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Thompson has sent shivers down the spines of the American political and business elites. Not only have they removed executive photos from company websites, but they have also begun to demand that employees publicly denounce, report, and firmly oppose the glamorization of criminals.

This wave of panic has not only engulfed the corporate world but has also spread to society. These capitalists, politicians, and financial elites are even beginning to doubt if their own children have been bewitched by Mangione.

All mourning for Thompson, all condemnation of the assassin, has utterly failed. Young people are now fervently cursing and mocking the billionaire insurance company owners, condemning their greed and evil that suck the blood of Americans and harm society.

Mangione has become a symbol of anti-capitalism online, with young people even getting his image tattooed, transcribing his manifesto everywhere, and some even circulating Mangione coins online… This is one of the most feared things for the ruling class in America; they are now in a difficult position.

Watch out, the so-called free world is about to see a witch hunt, families, schools, and companies will surely start examining children, students, and workers for “ideological issues,” monitoring their social platforms, everyday conversations, and books they read… just like they have done in history.

Therefore, I still don’t hold much hope for Mangione or the awakening of the American people because they are just too easily deceived. Don’t be fooled by the hype of young Americans printing his face on T-shirts, tattooing him – the stories of Malcolm X and the Black Panther Party are not that far in the past.

The Western ruling class is too adept at this kind of thing. “After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.” Even the real Jesus was crucified; what use is a “modern Jesus”?
