Not the biggest city in the world BTW. I also think that more correlation than cause in this case.

Although I will add that western morality, including media reporting, media commentary, and political commentary, contributes to these problems. You might as well have walked into Chernobyl wishing to avoid contamination.

Also, it does make one point self-evident: socialist morality. Defending the killer was, and is, a really stupid thing to do since it totally discredits their narratives. Not like Stalin and Mao? lol.

Also they are gullible in playing into his manipulation. He is more like the Unabomber, and thinks more like him. They were both from STEM, and highly educated. Their criticism of capitalism is more generally about all of “industrial society”, and different than communist ideology.

I think he's probably just insane.

Luigi Mangione?

Why him opposed to any other shooter?

It’s human behavior, with a history, like it or not. It’s in human nature. To say otherwise is just ignorant.

He may have had some sort of mental condition similar to insomnia. I don’t think they understand it, but I think it probably affected his sleep, and may have been related to his schedule. But his physical conditions seem more significant, life-altering, and consequential, (even if they probably are not statistically independent), and his physical conditions were directly involved in his decision making and target.

He disappeared in the middle of the summer, and his mother reported him missing in California in November. While that may have been particularly unusual, and his last stage before the assassination, it also seems to have been reflective of his lifestyle over several years, which probably wasn’t as noticeable to his family given their wealth, and opportunities to vacation etc.

The ones that are also insane?

I don’t see how that isn’t circular thinking…

But anyway; there’s no objective basis to define “insanity”. It has all the traits of a form of human, or Homo Sapien nature, identity, or behavior and speech. Religion can as easily be considered insanity, and the popularity of ideas is often not, and not necessarily, determined by truth or reality in human, or Homo Sapien nature. Rather humans or Homo Sapiens tend to try to leave the burden of proof on others, from a cultural perspective, or given human, or Homo Sapien culture, or human cultural thinking or human cultural consciousness. So, it is common in human, or Homo Sapien nature, to make claims that are not currently testable, verifiable, falsifiable, or knowable by their own means and methods, and furthermore to try to leave burden of proof on others regarding falsifiability, verifiability, testability, means, and methods. Well, I simply don’t prioritize your opinion, what you think, want, intend, or plan; your popularity and interests are not my responsibility, nor do they need be.

The concept, or insult, of “insanity” is also reflective of human, or Homo Sapien nature, and is redundant, unnecessary, imprecise, flawed, misleading, mistaken, and superfluous as far as I’m concerned, or need be concerned.

I could rephrase, or cut this if you want:

Well, I’ll cut it and leave this:

Every indication, signal, or signature of Homo Sapien nature that I know of demonstrates and defines its consciousness by, in context, and in terms of human culture.
