    The Banality of Evil is a concept where an evil act is so spread out by bureaucrats and process, no one person feels responsible for the act. The “Just Doing My Job” excuse didn’t work at the Nuremberg trials.

      You know what they did for Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials?

      They got a fair chance to make their case. Many were re-educated and reformed so they could be reintroduced to society.

      Brian Thompson didn’t exactly run concentration camps that made jews dig trenches to be buried in together, he made a company policy that negatively impacted the financial situation of an unknown number of people, so he got shot dead in a parking lot by a man he’d never had any interactions with.

      I think we should change the system. I don’t think Luigi did a single fucking thing towards that effect.

          Luigi Mangione decided who lived and who died, sounds like thats the privilege what you want, too.

          The allies were better than them, better than you.
