Uncle Ted:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski

We are not evolved to live in the world we have created. And we are going mad because of this.

Many of the MAGA Hats and all of the QAnons, as much as AntiFa are lost souls looking for meaning in a political movement. NB: I am not implying moral equivalence.

Fools by definition do not reflect much upon consequence.

Not that the ideological fanatics driving this train wreck are necessarily fools. Some surely recognize the massive cost of which they pursue. They simply rationalize the means as justified by the end sought. Though its one thing to believe that the cost is necessary, while entirely another to through massive deceit, impose it upon others, while working to escape personal consequence.

In their willingness to destroy the lives of millions of innocents, they are forfeiting their own right to life.

Less literary allusions and more direct explication.

Forgive my obtuseness but I have no idea what “Exploding Marquetry Uncle Ted presently living rent-free in the Supermax” refers to, so I’m unsure how “The MAGA hats are no different in motivation.” connects other than apparently you claim them to be two sides of an asymmetric coin.

If you’re asserting that the ideological leftists bent on destroying America have similar motivations to supporters of Trump’s populism but dissimilar goals… I strongly disagree.

What exactly are you implying?

We live in a sick techno-dystopia where nearly everyone is in search of a cause because life has lost most of its meaning. Exploding Marquetry Uncle Ted presently living rent-free in the Supermax got this bit right. And man, was he prescient. I’d like to read his thoughts on suitable fates for the developers of Tinder and Grindr.

The MAGA hats are no different in motivation. Just less toxic in side-effects — and make no mistake what happens in the real world as a result of these enthusiasms are side effects. The real pay off is inside heads and what remains of shriveled up souls.

Must see if anyone sells Hieronymus Bosch wallpaper. More for DNW than myself.

So what you’re saying is that you wish Stalin hadn’t pursued the most ruthless means possible to electrify and industrialize the USSR faster than the Germans could re-arm? You Nazi, you! 🙂

And if the USSR hadn’t steamrollered Nazi Germany, all those brave guys at Normandy would have died in vain without bringing about the necessary preconditions for Drag Queen Story Hour and Trannies in the Bathroom for their great grandchildren.

Tough one.

As for President Poopy Pants and his Cabal — They’re fools as well as malicious… doubtless salted with a few evil geniuses. All above your and my pay grades. Ask not why. Just hunker down and prepare.

FWIW: A while back I read Molotov Remembers — They really did believe in what they were doing. Weren’t going to let facts get in the way of theory. Sounds familiar, no?

The ideological fanatics running this administration think that an unavoidable price that must be paid to “Save the Planet”. Yet they know that the rich will not suffer and will ensure that the poor are financially subsized by the very middle class that they are targeting. Nor is this simply a cold blooded calculation, as the middle class are the foremost obstacle to their agenda.

At base their fanaticism is not based in science, as the underlying observational data ‘supporting’ the global warming hypothesis has been repeatedly refuted.

The real motivation for ignoring the established facts regarding the long discredited global warming hypothesis is because its a ’cause’ to which they can devote themselves. Support for which gives their lives meaning. It’s simply a substitute for religion, which is why it’s adherents exhibit a religious like dogmatic loyalty.

Regardless of how sincere they may be in their beliefs, in their willful denial of and dismissal of the human costs and most of all, willingness to forcibly impose this coming atrocity upon innocent lives, they have forfeited their own right to life.

It has roughly four components: (1) patronage distribution to state and local governments (discontinue entirely), (2) environmental public works projects (transfer to a bureau in the Interior Department), (3) health and safety regulation (restrict their remit to the regulation of phenomena occurring across state lines and transfer to a new department which assembles all the agencies engaged in health-and-safety regulation, and (4) conservation regulation (restrict the remit to the use of federal assets and transfer to and agency in the Interior Department). Note, at one time, about 90% of its budget went to functions 1 and 2.
