      I mean the type of person to do assassinations would probably have a nuts incoherent ideology. I think most communists can think of more productive/worthwhile political activities to do than assassinating one CEO.

            I don’t think anyone would reasonably expect that it’s just there’s a difference between assuming this to be the case and having it confirmed and reading his dumbass thoughts lol

      It seems pretty coherent to me, what am I missing?

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

      And then he cripped the unabomber instead of writing his own manifesto

        I’m talking about his ideology in aggregate not just his motivations for the assassination. He’s got a lot of goofy reactionary takes that are all over the place coming out as people comb through his social
