It's ignorant to say with certainty this wasn't politically motivated. The conspiracies that the bomber believed in have been co-opted by radical elements on the right in recent years.


Then consider me corrected. But I feel obligated to confirm:

the right, as an entity, actually believes in lizard-men supposedly taking over the world? I mean, I know the right in the USA have completely abandoned any semblance of democracy in favor of full-blown fascism, but... lizard-men? Are we in a cartoon?

In America, the right as an entity now consists of three groups: those that believe in anyone on the left being lizard-men or Satanists, those that pretend they believe in those conspiracies for political and/or financial reasons, and those that are indifferent as long as the right-wing makes gains. Anyone not in those groups are not on the right anymore.

I am amazed I basically said I would use the bomber's manifesto to strawman those who disagree with me and your concern is who I am upset at.
