They just can't help themselves, can they? Nothing about his manifestio is violent or unhinged. It's all reasonably articulated ideas. They're just trying to prime people who might be inclined to read it now that he's passed.
His manifesto is more accurate than basically every other written predictions of our society.
He's the American Nostradamus.
It's not even that difficult to discern. Once you understand historical cycles and basic human behavior, seeing repeated patterns throughout society and history, regardless of scale, it's quite easy to predict. Too many people, especially lefties, like to assume only "authorities" and "scientists" can know what's going to happen, believing that everything is complicated and laypeople can't see or know what problems or causes are, and extrapolate from there.
They used to be able to. If you read contemporary news reports around when ISAIF was published prior to him having been caught, I suspect they would have used far more neutral language than this. Calling something "unhinged" would have been reserved for the OpEd pages.
This is a recent phenomenon.
Yeah I've noticed this shift too. When I was younger there was no way a "respectable" journalist would use that kind of language.
The Columbia school of journalism literally changed their principles. They switched from objectivity and emotional detachment to outright activism and relativism. These are the official standards for the industry.
Same as with language of the current generation media has lost a lot of articulation, too. Idiocracy seems more and more like a prediction for the future.
You can see how newspapers have just become propaganda since about 2012.
Hahaha no they've been propaganda for much longer than that. Remember the Maine?
What a lunatic!
The problem is he did not think the solution was to hand over full control of government and thereafter our lives to a small self-appointed group of pseudo-religious elites.
Instead his solution was to get out of the city, grow or hunt your own food, stay off the grid as much as possible and take responsibility for your own welfare.
Absolute lunacy, I know.
