Psychologist breaks down why many are supporting suspected CEO killer Luigi Mangione (youtube.com)
The MacDonalds employee who called in Mangione is getting backlash, and the restaurant location has got some negative reviews.
‘A lot of people don’t feel really heard when they're taken advantage of by large industries.' ‘Individuals just feel like they are being heard via [Mangione's] actions.’ Mangione has multiple degrees, was Ivy League or something, valedictorian, young, flirted with the hostel staff, Monopoly money, manifesto, ‘then it’s easier to think that this wasn't just an impulsive act, but maybe something that was well thought-out.'
If Kazinsky acted today, what would the public response be? However, Kazinsky's actions were more thought out in terms of effects. Mangione's seem more like Breivik's, where although his thoughts may be well-composed and counterculturally correct (or ahead of their time), the actions are wrong because they are not justified or are mistaken in terms of targets and type. However, we have to hear what Mangione had to say before deciding.
