Look at the contrast in the reactions to Daniel Penny and Luigi Mangione.
- Daniel Penny was punished for stepping forward to protect others. Normal people supported him because his actions were objectively worthy ones and having people in your society willing to risk harm to themselves to confront a real and present threat is a good thing...
- With Luigi the ‘threat’ was extremely abstract. There was no personal danger from a CEO walking by... All of the rational specifics have to be ignored to reach the Luigi the Hero conclusion, subsumed entirely by broad, ideology based assumptions...
