I'm up to paragraph 59. 'leftism' isn't a term used much in Britain but you could replace this with our social liberal status quo. The guy is certainly one pure bred libertarian with a decent ability to rationalise his ideas. A lot of the behaviors he describes have only got more prevalent since he wrote the document. But yes the terminology has changed.

So says the voice of reason.
Top tip: avoid the internet. We'd also be rather appreciative.

But yes the terminology has changed. Most of what he says accurately describes the state of matters in Britain, too. Of course, being in general agreement with the principles of someone who chose to force his agenda by way of violence doesn't associate said person with the violence. Neither does it condone the violence nor suggest any propensity to violence within the nature of the supporter.

It is amazing how so much of what people write was already obvious.
A lot of time wasted writing nonsense.

You might be one of the inadequates, deeply down on yourself, unable to express yourself other than by being negative towards others.

To be honest in Tony’s case mainly I feel sorry for him nowadays. He is obviously not well, very delusional. He keeps trying to alter reality to fit his narrative. In some ways there are similarities between him and Ted. But without the intelligence of kaczynski. In a more humane society crt would have sort medical help for him, rather than dragging him through the courts in a long drawn out legal process. That has obviously had a detrimental effect on his mental health.

I think he needs TB to unload. The psych guys have a name for this sort of thing.
