Considering this guy was not traditionally left leaning…

From his online footprint it seems like Luigi did not meet the mold many would have expected of a left wing revolutionary. Also considering I have been seeing a lot of “the right looks for allies, the left looks for rats”, I created a new group r/ClassConscious . It’s supposed to be a thread where we can share ideas/memes with people of different political beliefs to continue to solidify the idea of class consciousness in the minds of people who might just be waking up to it. Once people realize that one kind of oppression is wrong, they might realize that other types are wrong too (or at least that’s the idea). I can’t think of a better page to ask for help than the BtB audience. Being around here a while it seems like most people take a rational approach to the problems we face. I am not a content creator or very witty, or all that good at knowing what will grab people’s attention. So I ask you all to help me, with posting and bringing attention to the staggering wealth gap that has developed in our societies. It’s not something that matters just to the left… between Luigi and the elons bullshit, I think this has a fighting chance.

Please post anything you think will appeal to those not normally thinking about r/ClassConscious (ness) in the same way.

I think you're trying to force the narrative in a box you have and want it to be, rather than looking at the actual facts of what happened.

One rich kid killed one executive. He also went missing for months without talking to his family, to the point his family put in a missing persons report because they were worried about him. It is not an example of the wealthy turning on the ultra-wealthy you seem to be inventing to keep your theory that this is an example of class warfare alive. Sorry.

How did anything you just say negate anything I said? A rich kid disappeared from his family for months, killed someone ultra-wealthy (whose business actively kept others poor), wrote a manifesto, and when being moved to his cell, yelled to the press about not insulting the intelligence of the American people.

I think you just don’t want to see it

One rich kid. One

If you think that's an example of class warfare, I seriously question if you even know what a class is.

Him disappearing for months and not talking to his family is more of an example of mental health issues than an incredibly intelligent plan to kill a CEO. The best thing to do when committing a crime is to follow your routine as normally as possible before and after.

Hence you are taking facts and fitting them to your theory as opposed to fitting your theory to facts.

But as Robert says, facts can't convince someone who is already brainwashed. Good day

Maybe have a look at what the people on some conservatives boards are saying about it btw.

And nooo one from the wealthy class can commiserate or champion labor causes… that’s never happened before

He doesn't know anything about the history of rebellions in this country

Abolitionists were wealthy white people

Nathaniel Bacon was a wealthy white person

Turns out when you're wealthy and not oppressed you have a ton of time to read and even more time to organize and plot

The black civil rights leaders? Also fairly wealthy compared to other black people at the time

Wealth gives you time and freedom
