Comparisons between Mangione and Kaczynski (Unabomber) circulating in American media don’t make much sense. They’re based on a review Mangione wrote about Kaczynski’s book, in which he explicitly condemns Kaczynski’s violence. (1/3)

We need a calm (especially non-violent) debate about the issue of access to health care in America
“Between 2000 and 2004, about two million adults were losing Medicaid and staying uninsured every year, even though most were still eligible.”

I looked up which accounts Luigi Mangione follows on X. I found some of them really interesting. Of course, I don’t think they influenced him in any way. I was just curious to see how someone like him thinks

I get the well-deserved vitriol directed at cruel and greedy insurance companies for taking our money and DENYING benefits when we (or our loved ones) need them most. That shit needs to stop.
What I don't get is the hero worship of Luigi Mangione, the guy who allegedly murdered the UHC CEO.

🔴: Since Biden pardoned his son, Trump will act as if he has unlimited power
🔵: Trump was already going to do that
🔴: But now he has an excuse
🔵: Yes, we can only imagine Trump’s long sleepless nights trying to figure out how he would have blamed Democrats for his actions

Didier Raoult now published a 'preprint' claiming I am 'close' to Gates Foundation - citing a France Soir article as the reference.
He also suggests that my poor facial recognition skills are linked to autism, with 'serious psychosocial consequences'.
