A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
But given how often they've managed to escape containment, the reality is the checks and balances on the system are woefully lacking.
See, e.g., Ted Kaczynski.
I just looked him up to see how long he lived after his arrest - he survived until 2023.
I'm weirdly empathetic towards him, because I absolutely understand his points, though I obviously don’t agree with his methods. I can’t imagine being at the point of mailing bombs out, then having to watch the world go from 1995-2023. It got so much worse in all the ways he worried about. (I mean, I can’t actually imagine getting to that point at all, to be absolutely clear- I’m not suggesting the unabomber was a good guy or justified, but the things that drove him to murder indiscriminately drive me to despair)
