Sure, in general accusing your opponents of just being You But Evil is boring and betrays a lack of Theory of Mind but consider the people who believe that our modern society with all of its comforts could only occur under the free markets we have but simultaneously believe that these comforts are bad.

- HKH2 2y agoTed Kaczynski argued that such a system is unsustainable long-term.

- renewiltord 2y agoHaha, absolutely correct. I suppose the crucial difference in sustainability is using trucks as bombs or just bombing without.
- HKH2 2y agoHaha even though I do not agree with his prescriptions or actions, I do think he made a somewhat cohesive description in relation to what you said initially. In the spirit of the article, do you think it's possible for someone to hold similar views to him and not commit violence?
