Are older people our enemies? They always seem to favor the catharsis of hurting others over instead of stuff that would help their own best interests.

Luigi Mangione's assassination of the United Health Insurance CEO has brought together lots of different groups, namely the young from right and left, in a foundation of class consciousness. But somehow the people reaching the end of their life and being the most medically vulnerable not only scorned our appraisal of Luigi, but even rated him out- the McDonalds employee.

It seems easier to get Harley Quinn to turn against the Joker than it does Boomers, Xers, and even many older millennials against the American Empire. I'm not convinced that they feel that deporting immigrants and harassing LBTQ+ people will somehow solve their problems. Inflicting neglect and discrimination on them is an end of itself!

I'm open to other explanations and calls to sympathy, but damn! It's SOOO HARDENED into them to be reactionary pawns!
