psycho seems a bit much. I usually think of that as indiscriminate mass killing. Not targeted killing towards one leader of a economic army that is looking to annex your economic family and knowing you likely are forfeiting your life for it. Like I don't think you could stop psycho killers in a society by having universal health care but that would have kept this guy from doing this desperate thing.
Upvote bc your point is legitimate. And my opinion however is that alliterative words like that on shells is like manifesto level creepy. Like, okay, you're going to murder this dude for these reasons, I'm following along.. and now you're like doing all this micro work on your weaponry.... That feels like a Rorschach level move.. leaving messages on bullet shells for.. who? Those details change my whole perspective. Maybe it's just me.
I mean I see it. Hes desperate about the situation of our society and again I think he saw it being very likely he would be dead. So he wanted to be clear about what drove him. Manifestos are not always crazy. Im floored at how the unibombers is starting to make certain amount of sense given where we have gone with pollution and climate change.
Yeah we're probably on the same page generally. The unibomber comment resonates. I've had the same thought in recent years. But it's better to think about Timothy McVeigh. The before image of that childcare center has been burned into my mind since back then. Those are the outcomes I'm thinking about. Especially as a parent. I hoped for this day my whole youth but as I got older I dreaded seeing the world around me proving me right about our inevitable path. Now we're here and I don't like it. I really believed in voting, even after 2000. I underestimated Cambridge Analytica, and Putin, and don't understand how Zuck hasn't had his skull pushed in harder than his asshole in a penitentiary for treason.
McVeigh would have been a different story if he had directly assasinated the head of the ATF though
