Well, most of the federal government doesn’t seem too concerned, so i guess that’s understandable.

Not at all, if anything, it’s escalating. Hide your kids, hide your wife!

Today government officals from New Jersey held a press conference(somehow only fox news seems to have the video), local sheriff’s departments are taking matters into their own hands, and sightings have expanded to include other states, and military bases, including a us military base in germany, and other sensitive areas.

Not guilty by way of self defense?

You do have a point. At this juncture, I think, anything is possible. Really, non of it ads up. Half is fake and the other half is mystery. There is definitely still a large leap from his actions to this ideaology.

DELETED

The future vice president of America is close with the leaders of the neoreactionary movement. I suppose, I wonder if a positive public opinion would make it easier for them to mobilize.

Edit: ending up with support from both sides of the isle.

That’s a sensible way to look at it. People’s actions can be separate from thier outlook, and that’s ok.

Fair take. That wasn’t my intention, although, now, I suppose that maybe a natural progression.

I admit, there is definitely a disconnect, considering his actions, but, I really am torn on the idea. I guess, I question that if (and big if) his intention is to build this type of future, would his actions be enough to make others sympathetic to his cause? If, or at what point, people turn away?

It could just be the tech culture he was around, and not the actual reasoning. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Does everyone still feel the same if he turns out to be a neoreactionary / accelerationist?

Per The San Francisco Standard

Mangione gave Ted Kaczynski’s book “Industrial Society and Its Future” four out of five stars, writing that the man known as the Unabomber was “rightfully imprisoned” for “maiming innocent people” but noting that his actions were “those of an extreme political revolutionary.”

Mangione’s social media accounts paint a picture of a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for conservative thinkers. He has retweeted posts from right-wing capitalists like Peter Thiel and lists an applauding biography of Elon Musk as one of his favorites on GoodReads.

What happens if he turns out to be a neoreactionary?

Native Americans and Hawaiians aren’t immigrants.

Right as the look a like contest was being held.

I can post the link to the book

I fear that instead of an era of reform, the response to this act of violence and to the widespread rage it has ushered into view will be limited to another round of retreat by the wealthiest.

I wonder if the general public will face collective retaliation. If the rich feel secure, they’re going to want to put people in thier place.

Hospital called us outta the blue to try this. We weren’t gonna pay some random caller over the phone that much money. Asked the lady if there was a different way to get a hold of her through the hospital system. She gave me her number, refused to give her name. Were like, how are we supposed to confirm you’re with the hospital if we just directly call you back, on whatever number you provide us. After another minute of arguing and frustration about this, the lady finally gave in and gave us the name of the hospital department. Tried calling it back through the hospital system, nobody ever answered, so they never got a prepayment. We asked the OB and later hospital staff if this was standard practice, just to make sure it wasn’t a scam. We never got a straight answer from either party.

And considering there’s so many new accounts, its not like one can go back and check the post history to see if what they’re saying adds up.

There were accounts, posting seemingly “up to date” information with no way to really fact check. There were some political “personal” accounts just testing the waters with BS. Stuff like: “It’s me. I’m not going to say anything else yet, but, here I am.” It made it kinda hard to discern.

If Trump somehow can eliminate taxes on social security, the fund will have to reduce benefits sooner than projected. The cut will only benefit 40% of recipients that pay taxes, and that lack of extra funds comming into the system will bring it closer to insolvency, sooner rather than later. So unless your brother is one the 40% that will immediately benefit from the tax cut, he’ll get to look forward to lower payments sometime in the nearer future.
