They actually have somebody in the third, spoiler alert, sorry, it's been out for a while, though.
is the oligarch who's depicted in the show gets shot, right?
Well, when the Luigi case happened, and I talked about this, is Luigi spent a lot of time in Japan, and he became really obsessed with Japanese culture.
And I was like, wow, I mean, I don't know.
Many such cases.
Yes, many such cases.
I don't know if Luigi was all that well-read or not, but one of the things that was the hallmark
of the imperial Japanese age, especially the hyper-nationalistic age, is that there were these assassinations of business leaders who were seen as undermining the state.
And so for, it was called Gekokujo, which roughly translates from the bottom to the top.
which is like you try to kill people type assassinations to like bubble up your grievances and so there would be all these crazy ass assassinations and then the government would basically like forgive the assassins because they'd be so popular with the people because they wanted to make it seem they wanted to punish them but they didn't want to punish them too much because the assassins were seen as acting on behalf of the people
And it kind of led to like a madness, like a government of assassination, basically, where people thought as long as I assassinate and it's in the public interest, then the people will have my back and the government won't punish me.
It created a really vicious feedback loop.
But a lot of oligarchs and business leaders were included in that.
In America, in the anarchist age, attacks on the oligarchs or the hyper-capitalists were, it happened all the time, especially in Europe, in Russia, right?
Assassination by anarchists and others was longtime something, not only just against the royal family and the czars, but specifically economic ministers and others were targeted.
So it's not like this hasn't happened many times in history.
And I think, for me, it's about displacement.
So if we were to look at
the Luigi killing.
He targets a healthcare executive.
