Why are so many people turning up to support alleged killer Luigi Mangione?⁠
⁠
It might be tied what has been called "assassination culture," which may be stemming from social media, where violent thoughts can be shared and amplified online.⁠
⁠
"Assassination culture" is the growing acceptance of violent rhetoric where crimes are celebrated or seen as justified. Perpetrators can be viewed as heroes for ideological reasons or symbols of a broader cause. Whether it's the killing of someone over their political views or violence towards the CEO of a polarizing company, society is becoming more comfortable expressing support for hostility and aggression.⁠
