apparently I am in agreement with the Unabomber
So the biggest issue with the Unabomber is the fact that because his philosophy promote terrorism it doesn’t get a critique on the other merits of the writing. He is very much an extreme libertarian and would only be considered left wing due to his environmental views.
He literally argues that things like fighting racism, sexism, and homophobia is a mistake because it’s a waste of time to make the system better for anyone. Like a typical libertarian he wants to destroy it so people can then live independently of each other. Don’t get me started on the multiple times he promotes IQ is tied to race.
He inflates the idea of Freedom, autonomy, and agency into one concept that he labels autonomy. Which makes sense for him since he was an extreme misanthrope who isolated himself in the woods.
He does speak a lot about how people are made obsolete by modern society. However, America and the theme of being made obsolete go all the way back to when the soldiers from the revolutionary army tried to March on Washington cause they felt obsolete.
Certain fears and discontent are inherent to the American experience and living in the modern world outside of say farms and villages. The Industrial Revolution did create collective cultural osmosis. Not liking your neighbor (causNIMBY), fears of being obsolete, fears of change…. It also create something our preindustrial ancestor didn’t have the battle between science and superstition because we actually have science. Plus the fear of time because science allows us to grow old.
I say that to say this, not only is the unabomber dangerous, his philosophy is extreme even for libertarians he wants to deregulate everything not because he thinks things will get better, he wants to or that businesses can compensate for government (which I think are two extremely false ideals). He wants to follow a libertarian ideal because he thinks society will collapse and the survivors will all be naturally better than the millions who die. When you combine it it’s easy to see why his views get adopted by the political right. He’s preaching the same type of alt-right militant ******** they normally do, but unlike most of their intellectuals he actually then went and killed people to try and make it happen.
White supremacists and other far-right ideologues are drawing inspiration from Ted Kaczynski's anti-technology manifestos.

Out goes the insanity defense, but a rationality defense seems like a valid option now.
Imagined jury selection: Are you a CEO or have other vested interest in the insurance sector? No? Motion to also strike juror #7 for cause.
NYC doesn’t have a typical insanity defense for something like this. Like he would have to basically shown a history of mental issues and been way more erractic than anything we saw in this. Like he wouldn’t have fled the scene or did any preplanning if he was going to win under that affirmative defense.
So all that brown nosing really might end up in a pardon
At this rate the way things are headed, we're probably gonna see Cuomo back in Albany in short order too
I 100% think he sells the city out, cause he sold the democrats out. I think he leaves the party before the primary and tries to run as an independent/spoiler. He’s a pariah among the democrats and he knows it.
US-Israel policy appears to now be fully running through Mar-a-Lago after shocking developments in the Golan Heights, writes John Bowden

Biden got played. So much for the narrative that Israel is a vassal of the US.
I think Israel seizes all the land in the next few years. I don’t see Trump stoping them.
I know a bunch of Greek guys they are really cool people and I know men who lost their wives to Greeks. You don’t make her a diplomat in Greek if you don’t want her to move on.
