On the Brink of Anarchy?

Last week we witnessed a stereotypical terrorist attack in New Orleans: an ISIS-inspired radical drove a truck into a crowd killing a bunch of innocent people and then engaged in a shootout with police before being killed.

A few hours later, a Tesla Cybertruck full of fireworks and gas canisters was ignited outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Investigators immediately sought ties between the two incidents.

But the two incidents weren’t linked at all. The Cybertruck explosion was carried out by a 37 year old active duty Army Green Beret, Mathew Livelsberger, who spent his life fighting ISIS-inspired terrorists. If anything, the Tesla Cybertruck incident was linked– at least spiritually– to another recent high profile incident: Luigi Mangione’s murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

I wrote about what that assassination reveals about our politics last month. But the eerie similarity between both that assassination and the recent Cybertruck explosion is that the acts weren’t based on extreme ideology like the ISIS terrorists we are used to. No, the positions that Mangione and Livelsberger cited for their violent acts were, for lack of a better term, quite normal.
