    With the outpouring of support for Luigi Mangione, I had been wondering if we would see an effort from law enforcement towards monitoring people’s reactions. Anyone not expressing sadness and distress is suspect; anyone expressing joy is an enemy of the state. I guess the intelligence report is a start of an answer to my question.

    Feeling a little North Korea up in here.

    It’s easy to asses why there isn’t a true threat of copycats: most people care a great deal more about self-preservation than anything else. But the owners of this country don’t think rationally about the rest of us. We’re not like them, else we’d be among them.
