BREAKING: Las Vegas Active Shooter

[GloryofGreece]

I don't mean the snide remarks to each other through message boards or youtube comments etc. I think this instantaneous "access to information" isn't all a net positive (and if it is its too soon to tell) there is no "cooking and cooling off" like there once was with printed stories among other reasons I disagree with your opinion that is natural, normal, or "good".

I think it definitely has positive aspects. The internet free-for-all has a better chance at getting us the truth than waiting days for media gatekeepers to control what we can see and hear. People will post jokes or hoaxes but the edited photos can be identified as fakes eventually even if they fool people at first glance.

This guy had some reason for what he did and I hope we'll find out what it is but the more time that passes the less believable the story will be.

Like I said its not mostly positive and I think a lot of folks think it is or don't think about the intentional or unintentional consequences of not every having context about anything really. This is the Post Truth Era. Are there good qualities to the internet? Of course. However, we haven't even scratched the surface of all the effects of the so called Age of Information. Also there is no reason to not believe there will be software or that there already is that can distort images and voice recording to edit whatever message you want and to alleged that is from whomever you want it to be. That's the "wild west" for you. Brave New World indeed.

Fuck. If there is a manifesto, I almost wish they wouldn't publish the contents. Just say he did it for ISIS or because he was kind of loony, or whatever, but don't publish the fucking thing.

Why? Is information dangerous, and needs to be censored?

Nah. I didn't say censor it. I said just give us the gist of his motivation and leave it be.

Are you worried that his thoughts may drive you into a killing rage, or infect you with mind-virus? Or worried that he might have a point?

LOL, what? That post says a lot about your character.

No. I am just not keen on giving him a platform. People have a right to know why he did it, but I doubt he is going to write anything interesting like the Unibomber did. He's just some dipshit. Just summarize it and move on.

Won't know until we read/watch it.

If they'd 'summarized' the Unibomber manifesto for you, it would have been "I hate the government. I want people to die. The End"
Instead, the piece is actually a very accurate prediction for the next 2 decades of government/corporate seizure of control and the destruction of American identity. He wasn't wrong. Just did a dumbass thing after he wrote it.

His manifesto is great tbh. Been meaning to finish it

Now that I think about it, the bombings were so ineffective and random, he may have been doing it just to market the manifesto. That would make this the greatest guerilla marketing campaign of all time.

One could even say, a patriotic one...

He only mail bombed people that deserved it iirc. I think an innocent postal worker got hurt though. I was a kid when it happened and I remember the media running around like a chicken with their head cut off.

Hayley Geftman-Gold — one of the network’s former vice presidents in business affairs — made a post indicating that she wasn’t sympathetic to the death of country music fans at the festival because they were likely Republicans.

“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs will ever do the right thing,” Geftman-Gold said in a since-deleted message. “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc country music fans often are Republican gun toters.”
