This headline can easily be part of an intended effort to associate the luigie situation with any shooting of a CEO or business leader. Reasons matter. Protecting luigie means enforcing strict conceptual differentiating between him and other acts of violence. We know there’s a difference, we need to enforce that difference in every space the topic comes up. As soon as Luigie is successfully lumped in with random acts of violence, he loses the public sentiment that is his best protection.
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.
And sit ups. I was pissed when I seen that 8 pack… beers don’t even come in that size…
You’re literally doing what I just described.
