Not defending them or even Luigi but I would argue a lot of it is the abysmal labour institutions the USA got (lots of union busting, few modern laws against modern exploitation and classical institutions are undermined politically and legally).
And the growing class divide in the USA I think is the reason why folks are increasingly seeing violence against the upper class is seen as the only option.
Again doesn't mean it makes it right, but it explains why it is almost only an US phenomenon.

Genuine question: is it?
Certainly not. Nepal's Gen Z literally overthrew their government due to inequality and corruption.

As did Korea. When their president tried to impose martial law, a crowd including legislators stormed the building and impeached him.
They were "helped"

What do you mean by “or even Luigi”?
Luigi Mangione, the guy who shot an health insurance company CEOs in 2024
Yes, but what does the “or even” mean?

Surely that's a libellous thing to say, or is there no rule of law in the USA these days?
Luigi has been accused of the shooting, but there's discrepancies with the possibly illegal search of his backpack and the body cameras of the police were turned off for 11 minutes which raises suspicions of planted evidence.

There is a secret level in Super Mario's bros where you play as Luigi and try to fix Healthcare. Has a boss and everything.
