Joseph Stack burned down his house and then flew his small plane into the local IRS office building, after having left a 'manifesto' which is really an incoherent cry of rage.
I'm hearing things from reliable sources that suggest that what we're seeing is more the fallout from the collapse of a life - a broken marriage, failed businesses - than a passionate blow by some antigovernment ideologue. I'd carefully watch the news tomorrow on this before taking a position...
...and this ties into David Niewert, who is anxious to tie this into his "big truth" about Angry White People.
Because we have a problem; we are growing muckers, who individually may just decide to go shoot someone, or a cop or four, or people in an airport. Or they may get together with a few others - in a kind of crazy underground cell - and blow up a building.
Or fly their small plane into one.
And some of these muckers are bound by ideology...white nationalist, black nationalist, salafist...and they tend to find each other (the Internet is very good for that).
And so we have a problem in our society - in our world.
It goes back to the roots of what I've talked about for some time - my big idea, I guess - about Bad Philosophy. Until we find beliefs that can mend hearts, I fear that we are in for a lot of this...
