I'd like to just add a quick note that I think is worth emphasizing for people reading this thread: there's an obvious temptation to read Eugine's actions as reflecting his political and philosophical viewpoints here, and it wouldn't even be that hard to think of post-hoc hypotheses connecting them. Please don't do this. I caught myself starting to do it, and it really isn't helpful. Events like this say more about individuals than their belief systems.
Connecting a specific political view point to this behavior is a post-hoc hypothesis.
But perhaps it was possible to predict in advance that if this happens, it will more likely be done by a person with strong political opinions (of any kind).
However, that lesson is already included in understanding that "politics is the mindkiller".
