It seems like people are adopting the Catholic doublethink strategy for Jesus about Luigi. Jesus is somehow simultaneously God and not-God, Luigi seems to be the guy who justifiably killed that CEO and was definitely framed for murder.

The guy's got to deal with the legal system and apparently they won't accept self-defense as a valid justification for icing the prick who tried to deny healthcare. So, don't have an issue with it, but it is weird to see.

  • Luigi didn't do it
  • If he did do it, it wasn't that bad
  • If it was, it's not that big of a deal
  • If he was, it's not his fault
  • If it was, he didn't mean it
  • If he did, the CEO deserved it

I know this is the narcissist prayer and he's certainly not a narcissist (based on what I've seen anyway) but can't help but see each one of these lines unironically applies to the situation.

Fact is profit driven healthcare has killed more people than Luigi ever did, allegedly or not.

The point is a sort of doublethink.

Where in private you celebrate Luigi for what we think he did. But in Public we pretend he didn’t do it to help create a narrative to protect him from the police state.

Both can be true. He could have done it, and the cops could have planted evidence.
