      Realistically, do we think MK ever stopped?

    His conclusions were incredibly prescient. With each year they seem truer.

      He was an angry, murderous misanthrope who used that philosophy to justify his irrational feelings and ultimately actions.

      No, I don’t think humanity was better off pre-industry, in the era of lordship and peasantry, at best. If you have a problem with your car, you fix the problem, you don’t throw your arms up and say “cars are a disaster and should have never been invented!”

      Only dumb firstworlders who haven’t seen struggle not even from afar, or people tortured by the CIA could believe that the pre Industrial era was better lol, people plainly lived shorter, worse, lives with more painful deaths.

        Idk things don’t seem that much different or better, humans are still making the same mistakes and are still the hateful little apes they were before they invented factories.

    I fail to see how sending package bombs to some Professors and grad students, a computer store owner, was “fighting modern technology”.

    Did this ‘genius’ think some bombs would force people to stop thinking?

      I mean, if you are dead you aren’t thinking anymore

      He wrote a rather infamous screed on the topic. The thing with the bombs was to force the newspapers to publish it.

        Still though, dude had all kinds of valid targets, and went with …those people…? Just odd.
