It's incredibly clear how far people in the west in something we can vaguely call a "middle class" are from anything approaching reality on the evils of the world, what causes suffering at the moment, etc.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think a large portion of people crying over this rich, objectively evil person who killed who knows how many thousands of people would be soyfacing if some billionaire like Musk or Zuck put on a mask and executed a visibly gay or trans person. They would 1000% soyface if Musk executed an "illegal" immigrant. Especially one accused of some petty crime like theft.
Point being, these are people so far from logic, rationality, morality, whatever else, and so insulated in bubbles of ignorance that they have come to identify more with nepo-baby upward-failing billionaires. People who contribute NOTHING to society (in fact only take and do huge amounts of harm in all kinds of ways). They uphold the most privileged, least moral in society and condemn the most marginalized.
Kind of reminds me of the gnostics and how Christians actually worship the demiurge, so it's not that hard of a leap of logic to see the very same Christians worshiping evil people.
