The former acted because he was personally affected by a person supporting exploitation within a liberal system, the latter leads an authoritarian regime that allowed their CEOs to do what they do until they got annoying for whatever reasons.

So if you want to talk objective results here, sure, one of them got a higher kill count. However, who has the moral high ground here is not even up to debate IMO

Luigi acted out of emotional response to individual trauma of a horribly cruel system, but very little will fundamentally change. The PRC punishes billionaires guilty of massive crimes, such as massive corruption. Which one does have the moral high ground, the one executing of his own volition in a manner that won't change anything, or the justice system of another country repeatedly working in favor of the people?

I'd say neither, if you start framing it in terms of morals and not material improvements for the working class you accept that Luigi didn't change anything, just did what we all want to do. I'm against the.death penalty either way but I'd rather the working class be empowered overall.

One is authoritarian in nature, the other is protestant in nature. These are not the same thing

Working class executing CEOs that work against them

Ruling class executing CEOs who don't work for them

Slight difference

The corporate media has been consistent in their response to both.
