i had this disconcerting experience several years ago, i was talking with a friend of a friend who i'd had a couple of classes with but never really spoken to, and we were talking about technology in some context, and i made some off-handed reference to the unabomber's manifesto. he didn't know what i was talking about, so i briefly explained the themes, industrial alienation, etc. and then he asked who the unabomber was, so i explained that whole thing. and i had to explain that like, i was not really serious about wanting to live in a cabin in the woods, it was just sort of a dark humor joke, then he said 'oh no it's okay, i totally understand,' and then he got serious and said, 'personally, i really agree with charles manson. the race wars are coming' i was like 'uh,' and diligently avoided ever being in the same room with him again. i'm not even white??
