    The optimist in me wants to believe he's genuinely conflicted with people he recognizes as objectively evil cheering him on as a champion of their cause and this is the resulting cognitive dissonance, and that maybe he'll end up sabotaging efforts to turn him into a reactionary symbol. But his ability to walk free and not be sued in civil court were and will continue to be tied up in the narrative of him acting in purely justifiable self-defense, which requires presenting his victims as dangerous anteefer supersoldiers, so I find it unlikely that he's ever going to go so far as to admit remorse.
