It's not glorifying Luigi. He's a vigilante. The health insurance companies are criminals in the eye of the majority, and the majority can't get it changed through legal peaceful means. The vigilante sees an injustice and takes it upon themselves to enact justice extrajudicially.
As we have seen, the majority appears to to support his actions. His background is unimportant. Humans are very grey. That's one of the things that democracy can account for.
Think of it this way: if he was willing to risk all that he had to enact justice once does that not make him better than many of us? How many of us have smaller amounts of excess, are directly impacted by the health insurance companies, yet have done nothing but take steps that have not helped anyone else? That's the definition of sacrifice rather than compromise.
Does the meme not imply that Luigi should be the next Presidential candidate? Is that not glorifying Luigi?
No.
The meme is pointing out that the non-violent solution didn't work. The "common cultural knowledge" that makes it humourus is that a wealthy guy with 37+ felony convictions and no interest in the common people. Luigi killed one dude that had it coming.
It's not glorifying a thing. It's the common millennial Gallows Humor.
Ah, my bad. This is what I get for posting while sick. Sorry.
