Delusions of entitlement
He was “shocked and really choked up” when he saw the support he had received which gave him confidence and reassurance that he would be okay. The source told Daily Mail that Mangione was used to adulation from men and women, but “not to this level”.
Luigi Mangione has a sense of entitlement that is difficult to fathom. He literally believes that he should be allowed to get away with murder, and his delusion is being reinforced by those close to him and by a segment of the public who perhaps feel the same way about themselves. There isn’t a chance in hell that he didn’t do it, or that he won’t get convicted of a minimum of life in prison (which would be unduly merciful).
This justice would be more delightful to watch if it weren’t for the sad revelation accompanying it that so many people share his delusions of being entitled to other people’s lives and labor. These attitudes are incompatible with self-ownership and personal responsibility, and give reason to worry for the future of liberty.
