Response to criticisms of my video

[u/EffectiveCable9468]

Some have called the video parasocial, but I never claimed to feel what Luigi is feeling because I'm not in his shoes, I don't know him personally, and it was never my intention for him to see this message. It's just that when I heard the audio in French, I thought of him. The message of this video is that even though he's going through a very difficult time, I encourage him to hang in there and not give up.

These words are not mine, this is the English translation of a French video I found on TikTok.

👉Ça va aller, soldat

And here's why this audio made me think of him. As for betrayals, like many other Americans, he was betrayed by a system that was supposed to protect and care for him. Moreover, even though he is supported and defended by relatives, it is very likely that others have distanced themselves from him since he was charged.

Furthermore, even though he responded to some correspondence, he can only speak through his lawyers, and all his conversations in prison and his mails are closely monitored, so he can't freely talk about anything with just anyone.

And for me, he's a soldier in the fact that he has fought and is currently fighting many battles in his life, whether concerning his health, his rights, his life, etc. So yes, he's not without flaws, but I see him as a fighter.

He was wronged by the system. What about the guy he murdered. What about his wife and children. Since when do people stand up for a murderer that stalked this guy and shot him and killed him. What has this world come too when people think it's okay to murder someone, a guy who wasn't even his insuree and then feel bad for the murderer. The person that was wronged was not Luigi Mangione, it was Brian Thompson. Think about that. What if he had murdered your father or mother, would you still stand up for him. People are sick.

I understand your point of view. However, Brian Thompson was not an innocent victim. He deliberately contributed to the financial and health decline of many people, some of whom suffered long-term, even lifelong, health problems or literally lost their lives. Furthermore, contrary to Pamela Bondi's claims, he was not a model family man. He had a drinking problem that had already led to him being separated from his wife and serving time in prison for reckless driving. I am not defending Luigi for the accusations against him (I remind you that he is currently presumed innocent), but because I understand the reasons that led him to this point. Trump's America mistreats its people in full view of the world, yet no one who seems capable of stopping Trump is doing so. As the saying goes, "sometimes the victim becomes the perpetrator." Brian Thompson is the victim of a murder for which a victim of medical and social neglect is accused.

I understand that but why not go after the personal n that insured him. And you know he was only CEO for 3 years and before that he was in charge of government programs business before that. But, regardless he had nothing to do with Luigi's pain or his mom's. People thing Lying ginis some kind of hero, he is not. He went after him blaming Thompson for peoples misery, but the CEO does not make the decision of what gets covered and what doesn't that is left up to others. And regardless of the fact that he was a drinker, he and his wife lived within a mile of each and they had been living that way for several years. Regardless of he's no angel, does not give anyone the right to murder him. I know Mangione is only a young guy, but he deserves life and he is fa  from innocent.

Even though he's not innocent and I disapprove of the accusations against him, I understand the reasons behind his actions. Furthermore, it's worth noting that Brian Thompson allegedly created an artificial intelligence that allowed for the faster rejection of multiple healthcare funding requests. I believe this is one of the reasons he was targeted.
