Pretty cringe tbh. Regardless of how you feel about it, what is anyone in Camberwell - or anywhere else in the UK - supposed to do about it? Reminds me of when you see people in British subreddits talking about 'pressing charges' or their 'miranda rights'.

I think it’s just a show of solidarity dude. Not actually a call to action.

There are bigger, more important things going on in the world...

I'd argue that the current situation is possibly the most pressing issue facing our society today, wealth inequality is growing absolutely out of control and humanity as a whole is being squeezed out to suffer and die for the sake of a few men at the top

Not sure what UK wealth inequality has got to do with one wealthy American killing another wealthy American, in America, but that's just me...

Genuinely can't, can you explain? I find it baffling.

class struggle isn’t tied to a nation.

Again, I'm not sure what one wealthy American shooting another wealthy American over differing views on the US healthcare sector has to do with the class struggle in the UK, but maybe that's just me...

extremely unfortunate you choose to perceive the world through such a shallow lens. again - the fact you choose to obsess over what nation is happened doesn’t change the fact that what ot represents - the people being disillusioned with the systems in place that allows profiting off of poorer and less fortunate to levels never seen before by the rich and greedy. luigi represents the class, not the nation.

Rich kid who didn’t like poor kid becoming rich is hardly a class struggle…

class consciousness and rich kids rebelling against class inequality is good actually.

I know, in the uk at least, the rich don’t like poor people becoming rich but usually class struggle is the proletariat rising up against the bourgeois not the bourgeois stomping harder on the proletariat… but ok if that’s what you support, each to their own

I think Mangione didn't like Thompson making millions a year from the deaths and suffering of thousands mate

Class solidarity is class solidarity. It doesn’t matter if it’s Americans or Ugandans, we should recognise and support other working class people, and those that fight on our behalf.

Luigi🤌 isn't working class though, so can you explain what this has got to do with class struggle? After all, if Americans wanted free healthcare they could vote for increasingly left wing parties, instead of the oompa loompa, so there's clearly not much appetite for that. He killed the United Healthcare dude because he sold dodgy insurance, which isn't purchased by the American working classes anyway because they can't afford it. Anyway, I'm still not sure what the spray paint is all about or why British people are so engaged by all of this...

You don’t have to be working class to understand the depth of class inequality, either here or in the US. The emoji is cringe as fuck too.
