They see it as hypocrisy to change your mind like that. No growth allowed I guess. We need more privileged people to realize their mistakes and use their extra power to fix it. People on the inside also know more about how to fix things in my opinion.

I'm trying to be one of those people. I realized how immense my privilege actually is I when I started to hang around a crowd of alternative people. I feel like I fit in much better there than with those others "that made it in life" (whatever that means). But it's sometimes really awkward to make twice what they do for less effort day to day. I'm going into politics and try to influence where I can in my job and social circle since I fit in in places the true radicals can't. The world really is fucked up. I try not to ashamed of my privilege, but instead grateful that I have the ability to make a bigger impact for less costs on a group of people that really needs to get the message.

Crabs in a bucket mentality is why utopia will never be achieved.

I don't think that Luigi was trying to fix anything, and if he was, it was a piss-poor way of doing it. Killing one guy isn't going to change the system. What he did was an act of vengeance on a system that had fucked him over.

~~What did he change his mind on? He thought that he was too good to get fucked over that way, and as far as I know, he still does.~~

ETA: Okay, I forgot that they published his manifesto. He did oppose the US healthcare system, although I still believe that his motivation came from personal circumstances.

Yet here we are talking about him

Yes, we are. What's your point?

I never said that he wasn't noteworthy.
