People are so strange.

 In the days since Luigi Mangione was charged with murder for gunning
down a top health insurance executive, more than a thousand donations
have poured into an online fundraiser for his legal defense, with
messages supporting him and even celebrating the crime.
 In New York, "Wanted" posters with the faces of CEOs have appeared on
walls. Websites are selling Mangione merchandise, including hats with
"CEO Hunter" printed across a bullseye. And some social media users
have swooned over his smile and six-pack abs.

The crime he is accused of has been broadly condemned, but the Ivy
League educated, photogenic 26-year-old has become an unsettling
mixture of folk hero, celebrity, and online crush in certain circles.
His support has only seemingly intensified since his arrest on Monday.
 Most of the messages on the crowd-sourced fundraising site GiveSendGo
reflect a deep frustration shared by many Americans over the U.S.
healthcare system - where some treatments and reimbursements can be
denied to patients depending on their insurance coverage - as well as
broader anger over rising income inequality and soaring executive pay.
 "Denying healthcare coverage to people is murder, but no one gets
charged with that crime," one donor wrote, calling the killing a
"justifiable homicide."

Can't imagine why so many people are fed up living in a 'woke' society? <sarcasm> Making a hero out of a murderer is insane

I agree! But, the fact that people are celebrating that someone lost her husband, and someone their father is an interesting fact.
What made people this way? How did society become this way? Is it widespread? Can we reverse it? Can we prevent other societies from becoming this way?
If this were to spread large scale, it would basically mean a return to a war of all against all.
