I don’t get this article. I’ve seen a lot of bad takes on what happened but this seems extra weird for some reason, and I’m hoping someone can explain. Author rightly identifies the source of frustration but then side steps what should be done to address the root cause and just talks about private security.

And I just don’t get the Israel link. Like, sure, I “get” it but there’s like so many interpretations. Is he saying CEOs are bad like Israel is? Or that both are “unfairly” maligned?

“While much remains to be learned about the alleged killer Mangione, his written manifesto suggests that he has a strong anti-corporate bias. This view is consistent with the framing of society by many in Gen Z, of which Mangione is a part, that life is a battle between oppressors and the oppressed. We saw that emerge after the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas, with many Gen Zers framing Israel as the oppressor and the Palestinians as the oppressed. For them, giant corporations are the enemy that is harming them by only looking out for their profits, not their customers.”
