For one thing, my point in bringing up circular logic is that terms like 'good' and 'bad' are nebulous depending on your worldview. Liberal worldview = MAGA bad. MAGA worldview = Liberal bad. They're both right, but that isn't my point.
I'm not saying 'bad people shouldn't be punished for their crimes'. I don't believe that for a moment. For their crimes is an incredibly important distinction here. The reductive nature of the statement 'I'm good person so I can kill bad person' leads me to believe that this can't be a criticism of someone like Luigi. If it is supposed to be a criticism of him and other activists; murderous or otherwise, then it's so stupid that it loops back around to be a criticism of the poster. Because if that's what they believe Mangione's logic was then it is 100% projection.
Like, you can apply any context for a post as nebulous as this. This could just be meant as a funny poke at Light Yagami the character. This could be meant as a jab at conservatives. This could be meant as a jab at liberals. This could be meant as a jab at so many idealogical fault lines that suggesting you have the context would require you to know the creator.
And again, it's circular fucking logic. Last time I checked Mangione's motives pointed a straight fucking line to killing Brian Thompson.
