It's astonishing, the seriousness with which the media takes a terrorist's opinions, if that terrorist has the correct politics.

  Of which mainstream American media organization am I to believe radical anarchoprimitivism is the secret agenda?
  • eli_gottlieb 9y ago
    Well, most mainstream media organizations actually do have a deeply reactionary attitude towards technology and a deeply naively optimistic view towards Nature, in fact routinely committing the naturalistic fallacy... so... almost all of them, on some level?

      seems almost comically reductive just to get to the 'all of them' zinger.
      • eli_gottlieb 9y ago
        It's not a zinger. Almost all major media organizations are techno-reactionary and bio-conservative. They regularly run stories trying to convince people that, for instance, selectively-bred food crops are a Really Bad Idea.

          > techno-reactionary yet they have pervasive technology use including new and emerging technologies, so this is reductive. > selectively-bred food crops humans have been doing this for ages, from bananas to cows... are they telling people to not eat bananas? this too seems reductive.
