Oh man.... I really want downvote this but like your point is right but like oh God fucking damn do we really need a post pointing out that the CEO asshole had a hobby? No duh.
He also had a job sentencing poor sick people to death.
We all know plenty about him from the boot being pushed into our throats from people like him and his friends who are all friends and think we'll of each other but...
Man the level of disconnect from these people. Completely can't understand the language of the oppressed and why we don't see their grand vision we are not a part of.

One of the big lies that the elites tell themselves is that anyone and everyone of merit with be lifted to their rightful station in society. They need this illusion because otherwise, they'll have to face the fact that their success is just based on birth circumstances. They latched on the the few working class slobs that somehow navigate up the rungs of society.
But what exactly did Brian Thompson achieve with his success? Did he funnel his excess wealth back to the community he came from? No, he just accumulated wealth like all the rest.
Also, pretty sure he was cheating on his wife and doing insider trading, which checks out with the elites.

One of the most important companies in the world, yeah right
Seems like drawing this kind of attention to yourself when the masses are looking for the next person to bring to the guillotine is a weird choice.
It was reported that he didn't even live with his wife. If that's true, why are we talking about his failed family?

So let me make sure I have this straight: Grew up in stereotypical small town Americana, undoubtedly observed the people around him struggling, had an opportunity to get lucky, learned nothing from his upbringing, and elected to deliberately contribute to making everyone else's problems worse now that he was no longer "little people."
We don't have a cannon anywhere on the planet capable of firing people like this far enough into space.
And Bin Laden made 20 children with 5 wives that were all loved.
Robert Sterling CFO | M&A and Strategy Advisor
Mergers and Acquisitions… Another soulless capitalist whose only purpose is to:
- Perform leveraged hostile buyouts of solid companies with ‘struggling stock value’, gut them head to toe for any value, and leave the husk behind, or
- Join two corporations together whilst sneaking as much monopolistic structure past anti-trust regulations they can get away with

Gang you are missing the point. Thompson worked really hard from humble beginnings to become the absolute best at being a horrible human being. That’s gotta count for something, right? /s

Got rich trampling over as many people as possible then died by gun violence. A true blue american boy
This country is just a fascist corporatist shithole nightmare.
Nice of you to out yourself Robert Sterling, CFO.
I have good memories of Brian Thompson. grabs a pipe for a good solemn smoke
Why I remember when he was there on a cross next to Jesus himself, comforting the poor messiah. He actually got into the business hoping that less people would die of crucifixion related injures. It's why he declined so many people, the money had to be there so that if they crucified Christ again his old friend would recover this time.
No I'm just fucking with you. Brian was a mass murderer and his passing is not mourned, not even by the billionaires. They don't give a shit about Thompson, they're just worried they could be next.
Also is that really his picture? I'm not one to judge people for their appearances, but I'm not sure they could find a douchier looking picture of him if they tried.

The ruling class media have been in marching order to propagandize the virtue of their masters
I hope the media will speak about luigi mangiones parents and his love interest once he is punished by the law.
You know there's not even a whole letter's difference between CFO and CEO.
Just sayin'
Written by CFO
The only thing him and Luigi have in common is being traitors to their class.
Now do one about luigi
inb4 by "his dad worked at a grain silo" he owned every grain silo in AmeriKKKa or something
He was immaculately concepted to a slave from a traditional farming planet whose athletic ability made him a star in the pod raising circuit. Despite such humble origins he was able to rise to become not only one of the few members of the venerable jedi order but distinguished himself with his valor in the clone wars. He even earned a seat on the jedi council. This man - not the person who dismembered him in cold blood - was everything that was right and good about the galaxy.......
