I imagine this was connected to a discussion involving his view of cities. One of the reasons he desired a republic of independent homesteaders is that they are, by design, independent -- not like proletarians who are subject to the whims of a boss.

Unknown... I was reading a bit about that - in a roundabout way - just today. Plus there's chatter about "Class Warfare" on the Interweb because of the CEO shotting recently. Nonsense, but still.....

The CEO came from the working class in rural Iowa, and his murderer was a little gob born into wealth.

One reason why the 'Class War' narrative around the shooting is nonsense.....

It has less to do with class warfare, than the fact that the private insurance industry is completely unneccesary and only exists to make money off of denying life-saving medications, procedures, etc.

However, CEOs making tons of money off of denying said needs now being afraid for their lives makes me so happy. They want to know how to stay safe? Talk to a 2nd grader who has to do quarterly active shooters drills at school, and then fuck all the way off.

I want them to be scared, and stay scared. It's the very least they can do, considering how many people they've murdered by denying life-saving meds and procedures.

Apparently killing kids is 'something to get used to', but killing a CEO is 'terrorism'. Odd that...... It's *almost* as if money means more than children's lives.....

Because of the terrorism charge, he won't have a jury trial. They're afraid. They know a jury would not convict him.
