Reasons matter.

I mean, you're not going to want to scratch to hard at Luigi Mangione. He's a few shades shy of a Zizian, himself. Luigi was deep in with the Silicon Valley Longtermists and a big fan of techno-libertarianism.

That doesn't mean Brian Thompson didn't deserve to have his skull ventilated. It just means you aren't going to want to turn the shooter into a Messiah figure.

I think the tech bros are just trying to claim him as their own. They can't have him. I think Luigi was mostly about volunteering at old folks homes and rehabilitating dogs rescued from fighting rings and puppy mills.

His popularity, certainly. But I'm not seeing Curtis Yarvin lining up to support gacking any of his biggest sugar daddies.

You're literally doing what I just described.
