This seems to be his twitter: https://xcancel.com/pepmangione
The smile definitely looks the same. I've been googling the guy and he was valedictorian of his high school class. No visible ideological leaning from the twitter account which has a history going back to 2022.
I see that he has a spinal fusion located on his lumbar back on his twitter account banner. Yeah, going through that in your teens or 20s will make you hate the healthcare insurance industry.... Don't ask how I know that. Or do actually, I'm prepared to talk about such.
This is the kind of environmental storytelling indie devs put in a game specifically made for a Jacob Geller essay.
same. but the the institution that did it to me (or stopped me from getting emergency care after i fractured it) made me into the person i am today and not a fascist
I, and I cannot stress this enough, can fix him.
a reminder to cover your tracks online folks, especially if they're cringe
no, when there's a national manhunt after me, i want them to find my find my hexbear account and think "damn this girl funny and has good takes and posts a good hamster"
spoiler
thank you ChestRockwell for this amazing emoji rendering of TrueAnon Ep 406if i ever get busted for something i deliberately want people to see my goodreads reviews of trashy fantasy and ultra-smut
Looks like his account was changed to private
no ideological leaning but someone who is skimming dark enlightenment transhuman/AI adjacent bullshit.
fuck he's fash isn't he fuck fuck
(maybe not. sorry im going through some things reading his twitter. dude is a mess. god americans wtf. it's like some combo of dark enlightenment and ~~anti-capitalist~~ with a side of eco lib)
Yeah, it looks like he is atleast not our kinda guy. Theres antifeminist shit and wanking about Rome in there. Fuck this shit, fuck this country.
The fact that even terminally online, right wing tech bros think the U.S. healthcare system is unethical speaks volumes.
can't have nice things. crying about DEI. well at least the right has a new folk hero hope they enjoy
Luigi Mangione, go on Ben Shapiro.
He's not explicitly tied to any ideology, just your average confused mid 20s American dude. That means lots of rightwing bullshit, it appears to just permiate the air over there.
It's the only air over there. The "left" in the past decade has completely abandoned that space
He’s anti trans too, based on an April 5 retweet
This dumbass shit too
I picked up on the Futurology Guy stuff, the AI fetishism, and the light references to Malthusian overpopulation shit. He strikes me as a vaguely right-wing libertarian, but I didn't see enough from that 5 minute glance at his twitter to really classify him or say how far into that pipeline he is.
I don't think so but seems like he's at least halfway there with all the chud bazinga elon shit he's reposting.
Looks like this site has entered the box ticking phase of leftism to “claim” people
Extremely nauseating, childish and unproductive. Wait until you learn about what actual war entails! Sometimes it’s briefly siding with people you have ideological disagreements with against a common enemy
Yeah people do that a lot here. I remember people being disappointed in Greta because she said some lib shit a month after mentioning the word "imperialism" once. I don't think people really get how much of an extreme minority their political position is.
Most people don't really think about and deliberately form their ideology as much as we do here, they just absorb disparate ideas based on their life circumstances and what kind of propaganda they're exposed to. Even if you can coax a leftist viewpoint out of most people here and there doesn't mean they're anywhere close to you ideologically.
Godamn echo chambers
it's more just whiplash. i think if he was just a baseline activist lib or apolitical party guy or even just an actual libertarian live-and-let live guy it wouldn't be as bad
nobody was expecting a marxist leninist or ancom.
He retweeted some China fearmongering blog post, so probably not left leaning. Seems like typical computer science stem type
Also accusing Richard Dawkins of being woke or something:
Further down he's retweeting anti-trans SWERF content
it doesn't mean much that the smile looks the same, the snitch called specifically because he thought he looked the same. if anything it makes it less likely, because it was really unlikely for those smile pictures to be of the right guy, he wouldn't have been walking around wearing the same outfit but slightly different the next day
also he's posting about investment opportunities...?
i really get the feeling this was going to be a copycat with a different ideology
god i hope so. i mean there's not one post about healthcare and nothing indicating this guy is anything but a full on capitalist bootlicker "free thinker" christian anti-DEI incel
kind of guy to do a mass shooting or "targeted" killings of women not this
part of my reasoning is he didn't say the manifesto was specifically about the healthcare industry, but "some ill will toward corporate america". that could mean a million different things, like it could be anti-DEI even. the shooter specifically linked back to a book that was specifically about the healthcare industry.
the DDD bullets really make me think someone with this guys background is unlikely. Also, if he was an anti-DEI guy, why would he kill an old white CEO?
yeah exactly. copycat for sure, or just framed.
Maybe he's had a come to jesus moment in the past 6 months?
yep it's going to be woke CCP agents are destroying our pure American capitalism and healthcare industry and he killed the CEO because the AI he deployed sucked and dude thinks he could have written a better one or some shit
I dunno, according to this article (https://www.axios.com/2024/12/09/luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooting-altoona) the fake ID they found on him was the same one used in the New York hotel they saw the shooter in.
It was extremely dumb to not get rid of the incriminating evidence.
we always said those pics were definitely not the shooter, right
Many people have been saying that, but you won't hear from people like me who have been reserving conclusions.
the copycat idea fits a lot of inconsistencies here, but the resemblance is pretty strong. I don't know what to think rn
It's too strong a coincidence that the picture of the smiling suspect who everyone though was not the real killer also happens to be a copycat. Maybe the cops circulated that picture after finding a guy to pin this on but I dunno, just seems too elaborate for the NYPD.
The delay, deny, depose engravings don't seem like they'd be written by someone with this dude's ideology but
Maybe the tech bro who shot a CEO in broad daylight is just kind of a weird guy
well I'd imagine they immediately churned the image they had through every facial recognition program they could across their whole database of ID photographs etc, so finding a similar-looking patsy is not the biggest hurdle
🤓: "Hello fine day isn't it officer?"
🐷: "Here hold this"
And then plant this guy in a western Pen McDonalds with a suppressor and multiple IDs?
You say that as if you think the pigs wouldn't or couldn't fabricate that evidence. Only thing I believe for certain at this point is they found him at McD's in Altoona
At least he has good taste in pokemon, breloom is pretty cool. Dudes got those worms in him for sure lmao
Seems to be him, based on brows, eyes, nose, and smile
Seems like he is at least familiar with Pennsylvania. Studied at UPenn in Philly.
