Comment on The unAbomber. Otherwise, I agree.

  It’s a rather depressing statement on your personality that that’s what you consider brave, but I’ll take the compliment.

    You’re being sanctimonious again.

    There are the people who agree that terrorism is bad, but want to discuss the things he had to say anyway. For them, you’re just ignoring the premise of the thread with your oh so brave condemnation of terrorism. It’s not that they disagree with your condemnation, but rather, they want to discuss him and the things they agree with despite it.

      Nah, I was just being sarcastic. You were being a troll, it seemed fair. That said, ‘Sanctimonious’ (“Righteousness accompanied by an unwarranted attitude of moral or social superiority”) is how you’re behaving now. I never implied any superiority over other commenters, just that they haven’t expressed any condemnation of him in favor of discussing his work with a concerning amount of detachment - and that I’m concerned about the social realities that leads to that being normalized. It’s concerning, especially because as others have pointed out the fame that came from him being a terrorist has buried discussion about the work of the much better philosophers he (charitably) synthesized his ideas from.
