The fact that Mangione seems to have a blend of ideological influences probably makes his message, assuming it's him, more dangerous for the establishment than if he had been radically one way or the other. Almost everyone will agree with him on something.

maybe if that united healthcare shooter knocks out 33 more CEOs he'll be up to 34 felonies and he can run for president...

If nothing else the Brian Thompson Killing- as it's coming to be called- has made political and class violence a mainstream idea. It's still fresh, so it's tough to say for sure, but it seems these attitudes have exploded onto the front of public opinion. The establishment media has mounted a staggeringly inept attempt to control the narrative and has failed obviously and spectacularly. Normally calling for political violence would get you banned from most communities. Social Media companies have either not bothered or been completely unable to control the violent sentiment. This obviously has massive implications if it sticks.
When we look back at revolutions, we are seeing in hindsight, and can parse out the web of influences that made the revolution happen. It's a culmination of trends and attitudes. It's hard to see these things in the moment, but there are triggers, not always the same, not always severe.
When people weigh the math of "do I join a revolution or not?" they do it on an individual basis, influenced by the size of the crowd. Meaning they're weighing the likelihood of being a casualty and being protected by the crowd. Another big influence is the idea of being the first casualty. Often, when the first casualties happens, or the perception thereof, that math tilts rather in favor of revolution in the individuals mind. This makes them and others more confident, leading to a snowball effect. They know what the worst that can happen looks like. They know it can happen. The cost becomes clear and is internalized. Brian Thompson's death, plus the support for the people his company killed, might be internalizing the costs for people. Now imagine it as a "they tell two friends and they tell two friends" sort of thing. I'm paraphrasing of course, but I hope I get my point across. ADHD. You guys know.
And in this situation there's very much a sense of "Wow, that looked so easy! Why don't we all just do that??" And that's another attitude that can tilt the math in favor of revolution.
That's why the sudden support for violence and revolutionary sentiment is a big deal. Get a mix of conditions, attitudes, trends, issues, bargaining failure, and anger. Get it just right, and you might have a revolution on your hands.

the anti woke italian american gym bro did more good for society than liberals on twitter ever will. If you wanna take back your support for him just because of some stupid tweets you need to step your game up, go kill a CEO and get back to me.

THIS IS HOW THAT WORKS
For everyone questioning it, this is how that works. My uncle does this for a living and explained it to me years ago
United Healthcare CEO gets whacked, and the shills are talking about "Violence didn't solve anything! They're just going to hire another CEO."
BITCH, SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THOSE - the C level board finds a bunch of candidates to promote and then
Sends a little notice to your fidelity account saying some bs like: "EMERGENCY VOTE! PICK OUR NEW CEO BY TUESDAY!!"
And then you go onto Fidelity or Vanguard or wherever and your stocks you own get counted as one vote for each share.
Here's the kicker. UHC might be having a firesale.
They're getting a lot of bad publicity right now.
Nobody liked the CEO nor the Ai they're being forced by the board to invest in.
So they're selling their shares.
So you can buy one.
For cheap.
And follow up on the funniest shit alive and break their shit.
You can buy .01 shares for the price of a coffee!
Gamestop those bitches!
