This is some true bullshit. A fully radicalized white man m…

His girlfriend - who police considered mentally ill and didn’t shoot down in the street even as she sat next to guns on her porch - said he was building bombs.

The cops wandered over, knocked a bit, ran his name through a database and then said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ welp I guess that’s that!

When a Black man or woman does any of these things it’s a damn festival. Bullets fly. Accusations rise. He was a follower of a militant preacher! He was a Muslim warrior!

And with this fucking turd its a mystery! Why did the skinny white dude drive an rv to downtown Nashville and try to blow up a telephone switch? Lord knows! Maybe he hated his service!?

No. He was a radicalized Luddite willing to die for the Q Anon cause. Want to see a MSM coverup? This is one. And why? Because the real story has no center. He’s not fighting for god. He’s not angry at his girl. He lives in a world that none of us understand.

He was in a particularly white fantasy built on media that says the big guys are hiding something from us. That the world isn’t what it seems. That the Illuminati are out there. That they’re putting something in the water. That they’re holding us down. That a pizza place is evil

This is not a particularly american style of paranoia but we perfected it. In the 16th century when a census taker went out into the French countryside he approached a town that was stuck in the dark ages.

He came into town and the townspeople - some for reasons of superstition and some for the simple reason of not being taxed (note the mildly intelligent grifting the rubes) - tore him to pieces.

Illiteracy. Innumeracy. Ignorance. Religious belief. That’s what we’re against when we go against guys like the RV Taliban here. And yet we have tip toe around these idiots because they work the refs, our politicians coddle them. They take a hidden grievance and amplify it.

This is what you get when people misunderstand the founding documents of a country. When they misunderstand science and technology. When the shadows in their heads get scary.

And maybe Y’all Queda is just some guy who loved Pokémon and Bernie sanders and wanted to blow up a virtual gym but Occam’s razor says that the only guys who blow up rvs are radicalized terrorists who see a communist behind every bush.

In the end we will suffer at their hands more and more as the world changes inexplicably around them. We can either treat radicalized white america as the threat it is or wait for the next bomb to go off next to a daycare center... oh wait. They already did that one.

This is some true bullshit. A fully radicalized white man methodically builds and detonates a bomb like he saw in Speed complete with creepy music and a fresh, highly obvious target.
