Worker who allegedly set fire to California warehouse compares self to Luigi Mangione
(www.theguardian.com)
No, he gets a place in there alright. Also, Luigi might be innocent. People find killing others not palatable (unless they're brown people on the other side of the world), but causing material damage with no human causalities? That resonates a lot more.
Also, there's an Amazon warehouse in Queens, NY burning right now as we speak. Possible copycat.
Paper Luigi
Luigi is innocent.
how about Walugi?
As in WArehouse Luigi.
Luigi made the rich more fearful than this dude but I think his acts have more potential for virality because his act was much more simple and not straight up killing another human(well at least human on paper). Person to person violence is not something most humans want to participate in unless they absolutely must to survive, destruction of property, especially property they likely dread going to for their jobs, is a far more palatable action for the average person to engage in.
In Minecraft obviously
good comment great disclaimer
Remember, corporation man: Living wages are cheaper than a revolution! Bonus, you get to keep your neck intact! 😉
What the hell did Luigi ever do?
Captured our hearts ❤️
Get set up by the man.
We are all inspired by these men.
His name was Robert paulson. Or something.
Based on LA Times reporting, I consider him more of a Milton.
Videos posted online appear to show a man igniting a fire at an Ontario warehouse while complaining about being paid low wages.
Still valid, though. Living wages are cheaper than over half a B in paper products.
Who is Milton?
Milton from the movie Office Space.
Ah thanks, I never got into that one much for whatever reasons.
It's a good movie, definitely worth a watch. Especially if you've ever had a pointless job you hated.
Seems like things are getting started, based on this story you could say things are really heating up.
