  • C’mon man, sure you can use a specific semantic definition of “political” to make your point, but in the real world politics bleeds into almost everything.

    The healthcare system in the US is incredibly political, through direct government policy but also the government’s influence on capitalist systems that drive profit over people.

    But also, the people who “cheered” Luigi’s actions are generally seen as left aligned politically, its viewed in the broader context of anti-capitalism. So if right wingers see what they believe to be leftists assassinating capitalists, many of them are going to view it as a political act. It doesn’t matter that you don’t agree with their assessment, and it doesn’t matter what Luigi’s original intent was, if that’s how they see it.
