One interesting detail from this interview is that the Ted Kaczynski’s book was suggested half-jokingly by the interviewee and another friend for everyone at the bookclub to read.

On a different note, the NYTimes wouldn’t give you perspectives like these in their opeds.
To your last point, yes. But whataboutism is not what we do here, and bringing up the NYT in reference to an MSNBC piece is irrelevant. Your take is stronger without that.
That’s a very fair point. It was what’s on my mind, which is why I kept it out of the post body. Moved it into a sidenote.
I get that we’re all on edge. Thank you for being civil and understanding.
