Nah, not trolling - at least, not if Moldbug also meant to be taken seriously with his post on Breivik. At first I was surprised and shocked by it; then, as with many far-right observations, I came around to the modus-tollens view - political terrorism is not as abhorrent to us as we profess, and under some circumstances it can be quite defensible.

(If you're also shocked now, I understand and I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. Yet biting this bullet didn't kill me and left me stronger.)

What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
