Luigi Mangione ID'd as person of interest in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson killing

lol which one of us posted about not wanting them to be found bc they’d have some incoherent ass ideology? Come collect your prize

imagined motivation: class war against health insurance executives

actual motivation: revive shintoism?

Gonna be honest, kid doesn't really look like the pictures

Now, I'm gonna get for a second

Wouldn't it be funny if they just nabbed some guy who looked close enough and was also a scrambly-brained weirdo so they could close the case?

he'd finally had enough

This is his Twitter. Fall of Rome, Richard Dawkins New Atheism posting, how TikTok is a secret "CCP" weapon to destroy Western capitalism, oh yeah baby https://xcancel.com/pepmangione?lang=en

Luigi Mangione is the fake ID name right? No way he's name is Luigi's Mansion

Can't believe a McD's worker snitched... you are not getting paid enough for that

yarviny rw accelerationist incels go brrrr

Median US voter

person if interest is still a bit off from suspect, but let's assume the show is over and the NYPD has the right guy.

would we really prefer it to be a leftist with coherent politics and some explicitly neo-Galleanisti exemplar?

I'm more of a Schrodinger's Propaganda of the Deed guy. if they are uncovered and caught, let them be a weird reactionary spouting gibberish.

if they escape identification and capture the imagination, then they are the perfect insurrectionary folk hero.

please don't be a zionist

Considering the brainworms im surprised he chose such a good target

And of course the tech bro does it for incomprehensible reasons

smh. He should have went into a whattaburger. No one would have ratted on him there

Mangione literally means "Glutton" in Italian. And it seems his real name. If I read a book where an assassin called "Glutton" shot a CEO I'd think it was on the nose.

Ive spent days imbibing the hopium that this was step one of some V for Vendetta plot and i am now devastated.

I'm still not even sure I buy the picture being the shooter. Pictures have him in completely different clothes to what the shooter was wearing. Now that they've found him he apparently has literally every piece of evidence with him. Not as sus as Epstein's suicide but its up there

he's actually hot

Bro should've trimmed or covered his eyebrows, those things will ID him anywhere. Mask + Sunglasses could've made things much harder on the cops. Maybe also be less expressive when on the job("the job" being any part of travelling to and from the site), the smile he has is popular with the audience but it's ID'd him too.

Mangione had a particularly personal reason to hate the medical community — its treatment of an ailing relative, sources said.

Online obituaries show he lost a grandmother in 2013 and grandfather in 2017.

This is all that matters to keep the dude relateable to anyone and everyone.

Mangione also subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes, according to law-enforcement sources, citing online activity gleaned by authorities.

Where are his anti-capitalist credentials? I don't see this on the twitter. Seems mostly like work-related posting, most of it being bazinga tech stuff. I'm not going to judge a person in the tech industry posting bazinga tech stuff unless they also profess that techbro shit in a personal setting. Nothing about capitalism or capital on his twitter though?? Not sure where they've got this from.

With that said, I also think that being kinda muddle brained without a coherent ideology makes this a more uniting figure. The left of the working class can see what they want in him and the right of the working class can too.

The important aspect is that both halves of the working class agree that he was right to lash out against the ruling class.

Oh no hes hot

Surely the cops are making this up too

Oh no he's italian! And his last name is basically just "glutton" which is funny, but too obvious.

Wacky anti-establishment Ted Kaczynski

That's certainly one way to refer to him.

Honestly impressive he could condense the unabombers manifesto down to 2.5 pages. Very cool.

“Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness,’’ Kaczynski wrote at one point in a quote liked by Mangione.

“Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual’s internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable"

Yeah, I've seen exact same sentiments with lots of upvotes on here. Therapy is, at times, an individual solution to a societal problem. I'm on antidepressants and a large reason is the climate apocalypse, covid and capitalism.

edit: I have now seen his twitter

FREE MY GUY

supposedly his youtube account (shares the same username as his twitter and was created in January) posted this video right after news broke he was arrested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdhs9g3Wwg0

Here's a blog post he wrote about Animal Crossing when he was 17: https://luigimangionestanford.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/animal-crossing-nintendos-ultimate-creation/

According to his linkedin, at 18 he was an intern that worked on Civ 6.
