Shapiro: "Hear me on this: he is no hero."

90. I Agree

My point is that people are being driven to extreme behaviors because they are made desperate by a system which profits off of their suffering and death. Maybe if we had Medicare for All there would be less incentive for extreme behaviors like Mangione's. People's health and lives are being threatened by a corrupt system. When people's lives are threatened, they may act out in some way as a form of self defense. When I say self defense, I mean self defense against a system that is criminal and corrupt. I am not endorsing Mangione's behavior. I am trying to explain it. When a person's life and health are threatened by a corrupt system, we should not be surprised when such a person lashes out rather than suffering in silence.
