The worker who burned down a warehouse full of Kimberly-Clark paper products in Ontario this week railed against corporations and compared himself to Luigi Mangione in messages to coworkers after starting the fire, authorities said at a press conference Friday.

Videos Abdulkarim uploaded to Facebook show him saying “If you’re not going to pay us enough to [expletive] live or afford to live, at least pay us enough not to do this [expletive],” according to the U.S. attorney’s office for the Central District of California.

Prosecutors allege that he texted others and offered his reasoning for the arson: “I just cost these [expletive] billions,” he wrote.

Amazing. Off an executive and the corporation gets a life insurance payout, but arson? Waluigi is on to something
