He compared himself to Luigi Mangione, an anti-capitalist figure who assassinated a health insurance CEO in 2024.

Errrrm, did he now?

History is littered with examples of property destruction as protest — from the Luddites smashing weaving machines to the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle.

These anticap and antigen radicals all hate freedom

Which part of freedom endorses the genocidal bombing of Palestinians in the West Bank? How about bombing a children's school in Iran? Or what about the Japanese internment camps in the 40's after Pearl Harbor? Or chattle slavery being legal for the first hundred years of a nation's founding, followed by another 100 years of racial segregation?

What freedom are you talking about?
