I’m interested to see what happens during trial when the prosecution relies on unsavoury details about him, and whether the girlies will still be able to woobify and babygirlify him.

Or if his selection of insurance “because it ticks all the boxes” reveals a motive that has nothing to do with propaganda of the deed or altruism.

The guy has been objectified from all angles - I hope he can collect enough through his legal fund before people turn on him for being a human being.

Such a great post, Ashely! Thank you!

The Gurwinders and Maxes of the world however are acting exactly like parasites at the moment, something that Mangione seemed to actually despise. Full circle!

So, while the fact that he engaged with them can be puzzling / interesting, we only know what "they" shared from those conversations. It could be that he held similar views, it could be that again, similarly to his reading of Kaczynski, he might like engaging with rather "intense opinions" from a desire to understand better. We will probably never know. In any case, I agree with you, there are no absolutes, no "perfect" human, no "perfect" action, whether we want to admit it or not, like it or not.
