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.)
It's not your position that I object to, but rather your argument for it.
How does excusing the Maquis' actions against the Germans or Vichy France necessitate that we should be "more tolerant" towards violence against modern goverments?
It seems to me that the different nature and different methods of the former and latter governments means that we can treat violence against it likewise differently -- even without any discussion of the ends of this violence.
