Luigi Mangione's disturbing Goodreads reveal chilling obsession with Unabomber Ted Kaczynski

Mangione accused of killing Thompson shared Kaczynski quotes, who terrorized the US with bombs for nearly two decades.

The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione, has left behind a chilling digital trail, with his Goodreads page revealing unsettling posts that delve into themes of health, sickness, and anti-capitalist sentiments.

Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from Maryland, appeared to draw inspiration from notorious domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski, the infamous "Unabomber," who terrorized the U.S. with homemade bombs for nearly two decades. 

On his Goodreads page, Mangione posted several quotes from Kaczynski, including one that reads: "Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness."

Another disturbing excerpt shared by Mangione was: "The concept of 'mental health' in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress." 

These quotes, alongside other anti-capitalist and anti-technology sentiments, paint a portrait of a man disillusioned with modern society.

Mangione's obsession with Kaczynski’s writings is evident in his Goodreads collection, where he posted multiple excerpts from Industrial Society and Its Future, the manifesto penned by the Unabomber. 

In addition to Kaczynski, Mangione also shared works from philosophers such as Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, and even Dr. Seuss.

One particularly eerie post featured a quote from bestselling fitness author Joe De Sena, who said, "They say a healthy person has a thousand wishes but a sick person has only one wish - to get well." 

Another quote, attributed to the Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti, read: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

The content of Mangione’s manifesto, found upon his arrest, further corroborates his radical views. 

According to CNN, the document includes statements like, "These parasites had it coming. I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done." This chilling manifesto is now under investigation by authorities.

Mangione, who was a computer science major at the University of Pennsylvania, was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after a McDonald's employee recognized him. 

Authorities discovered a 3D-printed ghost gun, a silencer, a manifesto, and fake IDs in his possession at the time of his arrest. The gun and the manifesto are reportedly linked to the fatal shooting of Thompson in Manhattan.

As Mangione faces charges, his unsettling Goodreads posts have sparked further scrutiny into his motives and state of mind. With law enforcement continuing to investigate the full extent of his beliefs, more disturbing details may emerge.
