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?

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.

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.

There was the one guy that always walked to class in strappy sandals, a short sleeved shirt, and shorts. No matter how cold it was outside, in New England, there he was.

OK. I know this sounds ridiculous, but...what if this is all a secret agenda to prepare us for climate change? Make it too expensive to use gas or drive or buy stuff or buy food.

They slowly ween us off of our dependence on...everything, while making us think it was our idea. (Cause climate change doesn't exist) We would have to go back to living with nothing, poor, and growing our own food. Everyone that can't keep up is given a free meal and work...in jail.

I know, I know. I was just pretending there was a bit of some sort of humanity in this train wreck.

You'd be surprised how a pokemon go player will open the app in the middle of the wilderness, even with one questionable reception bar, just to see if there's a secret rare pokemon that lives there. Bonus if you get a postcard from a pokestop someone submitted, because that trail mile marker is "special." You can keep it for memories, or send it to a friend you've never spoken to, for bragging rights. It's also not unheard of, for people to crawl through backroads in their car, since the app won't let catch pokemon or count km's, if you go more than +-15 mph.
