I don't disagree with a lot of what the Unabomber wrote. I don't disagree with this person's hatred of the healthcare system.

But you cannot assassinate your way out of capitalism.

It just does not work that way. You cannot assassinate corporations into putting people over profits when they are legally required to do the opposite and you cannot assassinate your way into a law being changed.

Not with that attitude you won't...

It doesn’t hurt to remind the ruling class once in a while whose boss.

But yeah. A revolution will take a lot more than a targeted assination of a couple CEOs.

Does it help? Because I'm guessing what will happen here is CEOs will just get big security details and less-discerning copycats will end up killing innocent people.

And rates will continue to rise and not one less person will be denied.

In the short term yes you’re right.

But look at the populist anger this action sparked. These kind of extrajudicial killings that rile up the population, are very much associated with revolutions and changes in power. (Sometimes for good, sometimes for bad).

Dude, America just elected a plutocrat dictator. There's not going to be socialized medicine any time in the near future and insurance companies will pass the cost of their security teams on to the people forced to pay for their needless existences.

That plutocrat was elected through a manipulation of populist rage.

Check out the policy proposal forums RFK and Trump set up for their supporters. Expanding Medicare has more upvotes than downvotes

Paul Krugmann wrote an interesting piece touching on this yesterday (Gift Article) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/opinion/elites-euro-social-media.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gU4.cSdP.OL0VogKNmVT3&referringSource=articleShare

What difference does that make now? Why do you think they actually care what their supporters want?

They're trying to whitewash into being a conservative nutjob.

That looks like something that could have been written on here or reddit a week ago and would have been met with at least modest approval in regards to the oligarchy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, still really dumb though.

Dude, read the bhagavad gita. It's all about inner peace during violence. A soldier not wanting to fight his kin on a battlefield. When you recognize that sometimes the cost of peace is enslavement you can take extreme action without any attachment to the outcome and remain in peace in your heart. I used to abhorrent violence still do, but I will act without attaching and face rip any monkey that is hoarding and hurting my fellows. MFRA.... monkey face rip association... even Buddha has stories stating no karma is incurred for some situations of violence. You might be stuck in good vs evil dichtomous thinking. There is no good and evil in nature just nature. We make the definitions and than we suffer them. Cast off your definitions and cultured personality and see the real that exist in many many sahdes.

So if you read into Kaczynski a bit, in a way he's kinda history's first incel too. He went off into the woods because he was upset about getting rejected by a girl and went super nice guy™ on not just her but life too. He blamed technology on his inability to read into a woman and he was too insecure to learn from it.

This guy is doing something else, he attacked the elite not because of technology and their relationship but because of their wealth and direct actions.

history’s first incel

What definition of incel are you using that eliminates the rest of history?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Well fair enough....I'd still call him one thought

This kid is from wealth. It seems very wealthy. Not country club money but country club owner kind of money. Its more likely for fame and getting in the history books

His upbringing doesnt diminish his activism. The consequences for him are the same as a poor person as well.

He is ID'd the sources of issue more precisely.

Internet liberated the flow info enough for a smart person to connect the dots better.

Uncle Ted was working within the framework of the old world. A lot of shit that is common knowledge the a wage slave was reserved to the elites.

Ted's thesis was not wrong but it was very crude.
