a posting today what's your newfound appreciation for timothy mcvay i think uh what was his

name terry nichols you know those were Nazis they were fucking Nazis but at least they were

fucking honest these pieces of shit These fucking scumbags.

Like at least I'd rather, like Gore Vidal and Alex Coburn in the 90s, they had this

illusion.

And I think I held with this illusion for a long time that these people believed in

something that like maybe you could

tap into this sort of libertarian streak of like American populism that you know Timothy McVeigh

everybody's saying what he did was right blowing up all those children blowing up all those IRS agents, all those ATF agents.

But, you know, he had his reasons after Waco and Ruby Ridge and all that.

So maybe we should take these people seriously because maybe they have something to teach us, you know, on the left.

Coburn's a fucking socialist.

Gorvidal is like a social Republican.

Maybe Timothy McVeigh, these people, despite their abhorrent views about race or whatever,

maybe they have something to teach us about politics in the world and what's necessary

when you have a empire which needs needs to be taken down you know

maybe you got to blow you know a couple fucking eggs you know you got to make the omelet

sometimes the oklahoma the murrow building just needs to get blown up you know

whatever i don't i never agree with that but that that said, you know, this was, uh,

for the last 35 years or so, kind of like a position on the left. Now, you look and you say,

say what you want about the tenants of, uh, Timothy McVeigh's fucking patriotic fascist fucking Americanism.

At least it was an ethos.
