You do have a point. At this juncture, I think, anything is possible. Really, non of it ads up. Half is fake and the other half is mystery. There is definitely still a large leap from his actions to this ideaology.

The future vice president of America is close with the leaders of the neoreactionary movement. I suppose, I wonder if a positive public opinion would make it easier for them to mobilize.

Edit: ending up with support from both sides of the isle.

That’s a sensible way to look at it. People’s actions can be separate from thier outlook, and that’s ok.

Fair take. That wasn’t my intention, although, now, I suppose that maybe a natural progression.

I admit, there is definitely a disconnect, considering his actions, but, I really am torn on the idea. I guess, I question that if (and big if) his intention is to build this type of future, would his actions be enough to make others sympathetic to his cause? If, or at what point, people turn away?

It could just be the tech culture he was around, and not the actual reasoning. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Does everyone still feel the same if he turns out to be a neoreactionary / accelerationist?

Per The San Francisco Standard

Mangione gave Ted Kaczynski’s book “Industrial Society and Its Future” four out of five stars, writing that the man known as the Unabomber was “rightfully imprisoned” for “maiming innocent people” but noting that his actions were “those of an extreme political revolutionary.”

Mangione’s social media accounts paint a picture of a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for conservative thinkers. He has retweeted posts from right-wing capitalists like Peter Thiel and lists an applauding biography of Elon Musk as one of his favorites on GoodReads.

What happens if he turns out to be a neoreactionary?
