Class solidarity in America.

For a long time now, I have thought that America is a perfect breeding ground for a revolution. Primarily due to the fact that they've fallen so far into capitalism. It's a genuine dystopia, and nobody can live in that for too long without going for drastic measures out of desperation. Every time I discussed this with my friends, we came to the conclusion that, if we live to see a successful revolution, it'll be in either the USA or somewhere on the Arab peninsula.

Ever since the (rightful) murder of the CEO of UHC, Brian Thompson, I've observed class solidarity in the USA skyrocket. Not only are the leftists celebrating, the rightists are too, and that's a rare thing to see.

The suspect for this shooting, which would be Luigi Mangione (if I spelled his name right...), had his own fair share of right wing tweets from what I've heard. Many people would attempt to use this as a gotcha, but I can't help but be a little happy. Both sides of the spectrum are waking up. Perhaps this will lead some people to realising that there's a better way to live, and that we don't have to be slaves to a minority of people that don't care about us, about our well-beings. There wouldn't be a manhunt like this if a regular man was shot. But no, he's rich, and they're clearly showing us how much more a rich life matters than a worker's life.

Alas, I've observed liberals attempting to break this solidarity that's forming. "It's because he's white", "it's because he's fit", this that this that...it makes me sick. You people are so wrapped up in identity politics you cannot think about the greater picture. Yes, he's white, yes, he's mildly attractive, but that fact didn't change whether people were rooting for him or not. So many people were cheering him on before we even knew what he looked like. I won't even get into the fact that I'm not sure how much I believe Luigi actually did it...
