Former Ivy League student Luigi Mangione (@PepMangione on X) arrested for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The media is claiming he was anti-capitalist and anti-climate change, but those are default opinions that smart young people know to repeat because they get you ahead in life.
Currently, he seems to be a vaguely anti-woke Joe Rogan watching techbro but I seriously doubt that inspired him to terrorism. His political views, past and present, are probably irrelevant to the shooting.
Evidence on X indicates that he suffered a mental breakdown and went missing, possibly due to psychoactive drug use following a botched back surgery.
His GoodReads page lists numerous books on recovering from back pain and on psychoactive drugs. My guess is that this was an apolitical revenge shooting. He looks like a very healthy guy whose life was ruined.
