Remember when Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO was gunned down on his way to a company conference?
At the time, no one knew who the shooter was, and there was only speculation as to the motive. I myself said the following.
In case it weren’t obvious enough from the video, this was not a random attack. Furthermore, this does not appear to have been a realpolitik motivated corporate assassination. This was ideological, or at least made to appear so. Personally, I choose to believe that someone out there is taking it upon themselves to vigilante shitbag CEOs, because the world is a better place that way.
Turns out our world still has some men with the right stuff.
I hoped that the shooter would never be caught, and after five days it was starting to look like he’d gotten away with it. Unfortunately, the shooter, Luigi Mangione, has been apprehended.
While this is a tragedy of justice, it does grant us insight into the mind of Mangione. What motivated him to bump off the health insurance CEO? Populist sentiment? Leftist ideology? Personal vendetta?
I was somewhat worried that he might be some antifa type when this story broke, although that would have been interesting in its own way. With the recent exodus of zionist money from the left to the right, the funding for anti-White groomer garbage has dwindled for leftists. It was reasonable to predict that anti-capitalist sentiment would be on the rise in those circles.
It’s safe to say that you needn’t worry about the butthole-left doing anything even remotely populist ever again. As bad as servatives have gotten recently, rest assured that none of these worthless gremlins are ever going to do anything to any corporate parasites.
They are totally useless counter-revolutionaries who like to playact as if they’re fighting against some vaguely defined HuWhyte Supremacist power structure that has never resulted in them so much as being censored on twatter.
Speaking of twitter, Musk is doing his part for the rest of the Democracy Class by censoring his account.
UPDATE: Shockingly, his account appears to have been unbanned. His social media activity was rare, and mostly limited to reposts of common sense critiques on the future of society.
Even with the censorship we have enough information to place Mangione as, frankly, a pretty regular guy.
His instagram account was also censored, although some people managed to get screencaps ahead of time. It also confirms that Mangione was a regular young man, with none of his instagram posts being particularly political.
Sure, it’s possible that he kept his politics to himself, something common in Weimerica, but it’s encouraging that he wasn’t seething about transexuals of colour being denied healthcare under the White Supremacist system, or dumbass Covid stuff. That the majority of posts are relatively inane makes his actions more revolutionary, not less.
I happen to agree with this take by Warren Balogh.
Reading through his tweets and reposts, I can definitely say about Luigi Manigione that he is: 1) Not a Leftist, 2) Not a Rightoid, 3) extremely intelligent, 4) cares deeply about the world, 5) a Renaissance man.
Only a White man could be like this: beyond politics, beyond Left & Right, beyond the stupid crap of social media, a scholar, a scientific mind tempered by great sensitivity, a selfless person, and a man of action! If humanity exists in the future, it will be because of the heroic spirit of men like this. If humanity goes extinct, it will be because of the greed, gluttony, stupidity, short-sightedness and monstrous selfishness of men like former United CEO Brian Thompson.
What do we know about Mangione’s personal life?
Five days after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot outside of a Manhattan hotel, police identified Luigi Mangione as the primary suspect.
On Dec. 9, Mangione, 26, was apprehended at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., after an employee reported his suspicious behavior. Police allegedly found a gun resembling the one used by Thompson’s shooter, a silencer, a fake New Jersey ID used to book a stay at an Upper West Side hostel and a three-page “manifesto” in the suspect’s possession, police sources told PEOPLE.
Zionist media makes it extremely difficult to get a hold of this three-page manifesto he wrote. I’m trying to read that source directly, but as of now all I know is that he wrote “these parasites had it coming,” and “I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.” The NYT has described his manifesto as critical of the healthcare industry, in case that wasn’t obvious enough.
Jaime, do we have a picture of this treasonous McDonald’s employee?
Thank you, Jaime.
Mangione graduated as valedictorian from Gilman School, an all-boys independent institution in Baltimore, per his LinkedIn.
A spokesperson for the university confirmed to PEOPLE that Mangione graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020 with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in engineering, computer and information science.
Before starting his final year at the University of Pennsylvania, Mangione worked as an artificial intelligence teaching assistant at Stanford University in the summer of 2019.
According to Mangione’s LinkedIn, he began working as a data engineer at TrueCar, Inc., an automotive retail website based out of Santa Monica, Calif., in November 2020. However, he has not been an employee of the company since 2023, a spokesperson for TrueCar told PEOPLE.
Luigi Mangione was the valedictorian of his high school and also the student with the cumulative highest GPA. He parlayed that into an ivy league computer science education, and what looked like a promising career in tech. In short, Mangione was an impressive young man, who appeared set in life until a vicious back injury derailed all that.
But his first surfing lesson turned into a nightmare when it triggered Mangione’s spinal problems and left him in bed for a week with his back and hips “locked up.”
The surfing had apparently aggravated a spinal condition called spondylolisthesis that he had suffered from since childhood, leaving him suffering from excruciating pain. Spondylolisthesis is where a bone in the spine slips forward, most commonly in the lower back.
Posts from a Reddit account associated with Mangione suggested that the “intermittent numbness” that he had suffered had become constant after the accident and he was “terrified of the implications.”
R. J. Martin, the founder of Surfbreak, the co-living, co-work space where Mangione was staying, told the New York Times: “His spine was kind of misaligned. He said his lower vertebrae were almost like a half inch off, and I think it pinched a nerve.”
“It was really traumatic and difficult, you know, when you’re in your early twenties and you can’t, you know, do some basic things,” Martin added in an interview with CNN.
He said Mangione’s back injury was so painful he was unable to have sex, explaining: “He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible. I remember him telling me that and my heart just breaks.”
Him not being able to have sex is going to be a crushing revelation for the Bronze Age Pervert sphere.
More seriously, this is a devastating health condition that we would wish upon no one, especially Mangione, who appears to have been the platonic ideal of a young man. No one who met him in person has anything bad to say about him. His work colleagues described him as “friendly and articulate,” and one of his former high school classmates said the following.
“He was so sweet and so smart. He was literally the valedictorian and I was in a similar social circle to him but he was, he was just like a wholesome guy.”
The rest of the Daily Beast article details his battle with the healthcare system, attempting to manipulate doctors into giving him the surgery that he felt he needed. He does appear to have gotten that surgery, but reading between the lines, it didn’t go particularly well.
At some point this year, Mangione simply dropped out of sight.
“Hey man I need you to call me. I don’t know if you are okay or just in a super isolated place and have no service. But I haven’t heard from you in months,” wrote one friend on X in September.
“You made commitments to me for my wedding and if you can’t honor them I need to know so I can plan accordingly,” they added.
In October, another friend wrote: “Hey, are you ok? Nobody has heard from you in months, and apparently your family is looking for you.”
Whatever exactly happened after the spinal surgery is unclear, but Mangione undoubtedly came out of it a changed man.
Mangione’s GoodReads account has also been set to private by GoodReads themselves.
Plenty of people looked through his account while it was still public, including this young woman thirsting over him.

Luckily, someone screencapped his review of Ted Kaczynski’s “Industrial Society and its Future,” from January 31st, 2024. This is approximately a year after his corrective surgery had presumably partially failed and put him under inescapable debt. In lieu of his actual manifesto I’ll turn to that review.
Clearly written by a mathematics prodigy. Reads like a series of lemmas on the question of 21st century quality of life.
It’s easy to quickly and thoughtless[sic] write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies. But it’s simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.
He was a violent individual – rightfully imprisoned – who maimed innocent people. While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy Luddite, however, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary.
A take I found online that I think is interesting:
“Had the balls to recognize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere and at the end of the day, he’s probably right. Oil barons haven’t listened to any environmentalists, but they feared him.
“When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive. You may not like his methods, but to see things from his perspective, it’s not terrorism, it’s war and revolution. Fossil fuel companies actively suppress anything that stands in their way and within a generation or two, it will begin costing human lives by greater and greater magnitudes until the earth is just a flaming ball orbiting third from the sun. Peaceful protest is outright ignored, economic protest isn’t possible in the current system, so how long until we recognize that violence against those who lead us to such destruction is justified as self-defense.
“These companies don’t care about you, or your kids, or your grandkids. They have zero qualms about burning down the planet for a buck, so why should we have any qualms about burning them down to survive?
“We’re animals just like everything else on this planet, except we’ve forgotten the law of the jungle and bend over for our overlords when any other animal would recognize the threat and fight to their death for survival. ‘Violence never solved anything’ is a statement uttered by cowards and predators.”
It’s possible that Mangione is pretending to quote someone for plausible deniability, although I do believe that he actually did find that quotation somewhere. Nevertheless, it’s clear that he’s partially sympathetic to whomever wrote that, and that’s because it’s objectively correct. As I covered in one of the Steak Knives entries, protesting doesn’t do shit.
“Representative Democracy” is a totally fraudulent system backed up by an entirely unelected and unaccountable permanent Government bureaucracy. Voting for existing parties is totally useless, and while it’s true that you can form a political party to fight on behalf of the people, everyone knows that, should you start getting close to power, the system will go mask off and ban your party or throw you all in jail, ala Golden Dawn.
If you need to spend an inordinate amount of time, money, and effort in order to get to the point where the system takes the mask off and you need to act criminally, I can’t blame people for skipping to the good part and shooting the parasite class directly. Getting a real political party off the ground is an enormous endeavor, but anyone can print a 3D gun and pull a trigger. Frankly, I’m surprised that these assassinations don’t happen more often.
Mangione was a perfect storm of contributing factors. Passionate enough to be an idealist, intelligent enough not to be distracted by chaff, broken by a life altering disease, personally motivated, and masculine enough to do something about it.
To be clear, we don’t know if he was denied insurance, let alone from UnitedHealthcare. I’ll try to answer such speculation in the future, along with getting my hands on that manifesto.
Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, has slammed the “deeply disturbing” celebrations of “vigilante justice.”
The governor was speaking in a press conference outside court after suspect Luigi Mangion was arraigned on gun charges.
Shapiro told reporters that “justice will be delivered in this case.”
But he also criticized the people who “want to celebrate, not condemn this killing.”
Many online have been unsympathetic about the death of Brian Thompson, the CEO of major healthcare insurance company UnitedHealthcare and have drawn comparisons between his death and the 45,000 Americans who die every year as a direct result of not having any health insurance coverage, according to a 2009 study.
“Some attention in this case, especially online, was deeply disturbing,” Shapiro added.
“Thomson is a father to two… and yes he was the CEO of a health insurance company.
“In America, we do not kill ppl in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint.
Cool story, bro.
It’s nice to know that our Parasite Class never murders people in cold blood.
Or supports “former” ISIS terrorists who mass murder innocent people.
“I understand people have real frustrations with our healthcare system and I have worked to address that in my career, but I have no tolerance, and nor should anyone, for one man using an illegal ghost gun to murder someone because he thinks his opinion matters most.”
I have no words for the contempt I feel towards our Democracy Class.
Shapiro wasn’t the only politician to denounce justice.
“The EVIL revolutionary left cheers murder,” says the genocidal zionist who celebrates the murders of three year old Palestinian children.
It’s not over for Mangione. A jury still needs to actually convict him, and he’s an extremely sympathetic defendant.
On top of all that, internet commenters are quick to remind us that he’s a handsome devil. Hopefully there are some idealistic young women in the jury.
I’m going to quote Warren Balogh again.
Is Luigi Mangione the beginning of a post-nihilist America?
True, what he did was illegal. But compare his illegal actions to the illegal actions of the lunatic self-centered psychotics who for years have terrorized our country with horrific mass shootings.
The worst example in my mind was Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock: a drug-addicted, gambling-addicted, race-mixing boomer who, in a crowning act of deranged ego-fueled sadism, destroyed the lives of HUNDREDS of innocent young White people. The epitome of the senseless nihilism of the narcissistic self-destructive ego.
As illegal acts go, what Luigi Mangione did was the complete opposite: a selfless act, not targeting the innocent, but punishing the guilty, sacrificing himself for the greater good.
Mangione’s idealism is so obvious that it was even noticed by Spectator journalist Katherine Dee, although she eventually condemns him.
We’ve long associated American violence with mass shootings: nihilistic eruptions of despair often entwined with self-destruction. But Mangione’s alleged assassination attempt aligns with a more deliberate logic, however twisted, one that might imagine you can change the world by taking out a key player. Perhaps there has been a different sort of vibe shift: one where the cultural script is shifting from “nothing matters” to “something must be done.”
I, for one, welcome the long overdue shift from evil, narcissitic, and nihilistic mass shootings of innocent people to targeted assassinations of parasitical scumbags. Less shooting cheerleaders because you don’t have a girlfriend, and more shooting health insurance CEOs because you don’t have healthcare.
Before Luigi Mangione murdered the UnitedHealthcare CEO he was a model citizen. As a matter of fact, he still is.
Never get spinal surgery unless you need it to save your life after snapping your spine in half or something, they never go well and exist to buy spine surgeons extra houses
“If you need to spend an inordinate amount of time, money, and effort in order to get to the point where the system takes the mask off and you need to act criminally, I can’t blame people for skipping to the good part and shooting the parasite class directly.”
When the courts are bought, the elections are pre-screened, and protesting just gets your face put into a database, when all the legitimate avenues for justice have been sealed off, then people are going to do the only thing they can do to the people fucking them over and stealing from them. Elites don’t live on a separate planet from us. They live in NY, LA and DC, places which happen to be shitholes.
Alex Linder has been calling for this type of action for years & you portrayed him as a lunatic after he published almost everything you wrote for … maybe 6-12 months. (I get you’re more popular than he is now, but the guy’s a friggin’ legend (friend). That’s how I got into your stuff, I’d seen through TRS/NJP a while before you did, though I was definitely a supporter of theirs and like your stuff as well.
Not even really criticizing you here, because I: 1) usually agreed with you and got laughs in bc of you 2) get the burn out that you felt, and have felt it as well – being nowhere near the propagandist you are capable of.
Just sayin’ , Luigi walking into the Washington Post instead wouldn’t have been my “worst day evr!”, and I’m glad you’re starting to post more often. I’ll be here if you are.
“And you portrayed him as a lunatic.”
Linder had dumb ideas about somehow creating a “White Liberation Army” out of nowhere, yet refused to use the political system to so much as install a mayor of a small town. I never said he was a lunatic, but those ideas were nonsense. As for the rest, thank you for the kind words.
YW.
YW. I can see the “Army” from nothing as seeming odd. But he’s been talking about guys committed to the cause leaving journos & (((CEOs))) where you find ’em & things will begin to change, rather quickly, if it happened with any regularity. I can’t even sell the idea of “White Jury Nullification” here and it’s apparently far harder to pull off in the Great White North from what I see, so I won’t waste your time.
You’re needed, and I think you need it again. I hope job and homelife are at least satisfactory. But I have posts of yours to catch up on in the morning. GN, Good Sir!
I have nothing to say here *wink* *wink*
Enjoyed your post
