Besides killing people, what fundamentally changed because of the Unabomber? What effect did the Unabomber actually have on society besides adding a new high statistic?

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Unabomber thought his mainfesto was important enough for the public to see, he resorted to terrorism to gain attention.

But im not sure what your expecting from a mentally unstable CIA project would do to change society. While the p2025 is a mainfesto for the most powerful people that absolutely can make changes.

Project 2025 is a great boogeyman: an outline of a plan by The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

People see it and somehow think there's some grand unified conspiracy to enact it. At the end of the day it is no more or less than a list of goals by a think tank. Worrying about it assumes people in power give a shit about the heritage foundation and/or agree with it, as if Donald Trump gives a shit what anyone besides Donald Trump thinks.

When any action is taken it's worthwhile to ask who benefits by it? Who benefits by stoking fear about some shitty essay by bowtie perverts and suit fetishists? The answer is always the Democratic Party, a useless organization that managed to be paid $1.5 billion dollars (and still end up in debt) to lose what should have been the easiest election win in history. Boy I sure wish I could be paid $1.5B by a bunch of dumbasses to be that big a fuck up.

Trump is a brain dead puppet that will rubberstamp anything put in front of him. All they have to do is convince him itll make him popular on tv. Its not really hard. And facism benefits a lot of people... why do you think it's repeatedly tried?

If it's that easy than lots of people with all kinds of agendas will try it.
