“Equating the tools and processes with the people” is such a good way of putting it that I gotta remember to remember it.

Ted’s problem is that he equates the tools and the processes of post-industrial society with its people. Just because the possibility exists for these surrogate activities to replace meaningful work doesn’t mean we all succumb automatically.

Ted’s problem was that he murdered the wrong people. Let’s be completely honest if he was killing politicians and their corporate masters he would be a hell of a lot less controversial. So long as fascists, authoritarians, and their weak willed followers exist there is no excuse to kill the innocent, collateral not withstanding if someone took out a small town to kill Musk it’d be acceptable for example.

I’m a Gandhi and King fan so I wholeheartedly disagree.

As a John Brown fan and follower of the Allfather I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Sometimes the most just action one can take is the most brutal and destructive one, really it comes down to what one’s own mental liberty allows them to do.
