      I don’t want to mass respond to all the replies but what I meant was:

      • The UK healthcare system is not as predatory as the US one
      • This is a crime (arguable justifiable) which has taken place in another country
      • We shouldn’t transpose politics from other countries onto our own where they don’t fit. A lot of the moral intricacies of this case are idiosyncratic to USA’s crazy system.

      Edit: missed the word “not” from my first point

        This is such a nonsensical take. It’s art. Just because we don’t have the same system here doesn’t mean people don’t understand or shouldn’t have opinions on it. Do you listen to American music? Watch American TV programs or films? If so, why? They transpose politics from the States and therefore should be avoided.

        Everyone, no matter where they live, is entitled to their opinion. Even if it is nonsensical.

            So what dude? Just because you don’t like or understand it doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t. He’s become a symbol for of rebellion for millions of people across the globe.

            Che Guevara. Luke Skywalker. Robin Hood. Guy Fawkes. Neo. Katniss Everdeen. Joan of Arc. Fucking Moses FFS. All figures of rebellion. All standing up against oppression. All now considered heroes. Luigi Mancioni is now one of them. Just deal with it.

                  Thank you for ending the debate humourously. I’m so sick of having debates on this forum where my interlocutor gets all up in their feelings and spurns any sort of olive branch from me.
