If Luigi Mangione gets the death penalty, will he be a martyr?

    Yes. He did something a lot of people agreed with was either ok, good or necessary. Maybe not to everyone but to some he will be.

    Absolutely. He’s already a martyr for any working class or poor person paying attention.

    If you believe we’re in a class war where the wealthy are profiting off the deaths of those poorer than them, yes.

    Taking a human life to protest even a valid point places humans below the other animals.

    He didn’t really do anything meaningful, just replace a bad CEO with another. He was just an entitled, angsty, dumb, rich kid.

    To some yes, to others no.

    Absolute martyrdom

    As a European, the whole debate seems bizarre. The idea of considering the death penalty, on the one hand, and glorifying a murder suspect, on the other, is something I simply don’t understand

    He will be to people who spend too much time on Reddit. To the rest of society he will be dropped like a hot potato.

    To Reddit, yeah. Probably not to most Americans

    Our opinions of Luigi send a clear message to our owners.

    only to reddit. to everyone else it’s just another unhinged murderer dead

    Yes. The dead CEO led an organisation wilfully imposing practices that cause pain, suffering and death, inflicted on the people with damaging agreements drawn up in bad faith. The people are powerless as a group. Luigi is a martyr to a cause that Americans don’t know they need to fight for yet. Techno-feudalism is the dominant ideology in many countries now. There are martyrs, individuals who make an enormous personal sacrifice, before the revolution can begin. (Study history. The clues and evidence of precedence are there.)

    Knowing the outcome of every fucked up thing that ever happened in the last 10 years, People will be right pissed for about a week, then something else fucked up or absurd will happen to dominate the news cycle, everyone starts talking about that instead, and by the end of that week you won’t really be hearing about Luigi except in passing.

    Tale as old as time.

    No. He will be forgotten like every other social media fad, and life will go on as normal. Redditors may make some memes for a while, and they’ll fade out at about the same rate as harambe.

    If Pam Bondi insists on prosecuting with political messaging, that will drive more to see him that way. Which will then give them another tool to claim the left is violent.

    Tbh yes I think he will. Because that will show that they have inherently more value than us.

    I doubt it unless more people follow his lead and he becomes even bigger in the average citizen’s psyche.

    Right now he is a footnote. Time will tell if he becomes more.
