The Running Man is Real? Luigi Mangione, Media Manipulation, and Our Dystopian Reality

Welcome to TopThangs, where we explore the best and most interesting thangs around the world!

The shocking Assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione has gripped the nation. With a $60,000 reward, televised manhunts, and media frenzy, this real-life case eerily mirrors the dystopian world of The Running Man by Stephen King. But what does this say about our society?

In today’s video, we’re breaking it all down:

How fiction and reality are colliding.
The role of media manipulation and public compliance.
The parallels with Squid Game and wealth disparity.
Why class awareness and collective action are crucial to breaking the cycle of systemic injustice.
This isn’t just about one case—it’s about the systems that keep us entertained, distracted, and divided while the 1% continue to thrive. It’s time to ask: What could humanity achieve if we prioritized people over profit?
