I’ve been deeply upset about an article going around about the UHC shooter, which suggests Luigi Mangioni was radicalized by pain. The article gives no evidence, and makes no convincing argument. It expects you to look at the negative space: because Luigi “had options”, and “could have been almost anything he wanted to be”, you are expected to believe that he turned to murder because of pain. He had a degree and a “promising early employment history”, showing yet again how society believes the only valuable thing a person can do is grind for capitalism.
