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.

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.

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.

She's running away from something that happened in Russia, sees how close the US government has gotten with Russia, freaks out, and tries to go to France, where she, for some reason feels like she'll be safe. I'm not sure it's that strange. She's apparently scared for her life.

Phantasm 2 was a childhood favorite.
