“The goal in war is not to kill all enemy soldiers, but to *convince enemy leadership to surrender.*” is true enough in the sense that McNamara was a moron, but in the context of discussing non‐violence, it’s vacuous nonsense.

Enemy leadership must be convinced that surrender is their best option, and that usually involves killing their soldiers till they don’t have any other options.

I find the effectiveness of terrorism vastly overrated in this graph.

Or since the Y axis is unlabelled, terrorism being very slightly better than nonviolent protest in "destabilizing power" might be accurate after all.

quote:

A sexually frustrated Virginia man blew off a hand while trying to make homemade explosives — ones he planned to use on a revenge attack on “hot cheerleaders,” according to federal prosecutors.
Cole Carini, 23, went to a health clinic in Richlands last Wednesday suffering from an amputated hand, amputated fingers on the opposite hand, and shrapnel wounds to the neck and throat, the Department of Justice said.

He claimed it was from a devastating lawnmower accident — but investigators found his garden overgrown, they say.
Instead, they found evidence of a recent explosion, with explosives materials, rusty nails, pipes and pieces of flesh, prosecutors said.

They also found parts of a scorched letter that referenced tension “as he now approached the stage of hot cheerleaders,” according to court documents.

“I will not be afraid of the consequences no matter what I will be heroic I will make a statement like Elliott Rodgers [sic],” he allegedly wrote, referring to the 22-year-old killer hailed as a leader of the “incel” movement.

Rodger killed himself in 2014 after killing six, including two women outside a sorority house near Santa Barbara, California.

He left behind a manifesto that has been a rallying point for the online “incels” — short for “involuntarily celibate” — who justify violence against women as revenge for rejecting them as sexual partners.

Carini was charged with making false statements to law enforcement. Online court records show he is being held in custody pending appointment of an attorney.

Where was he expecting to find cheerleaders, much less hot cheerleaders, at this particular time in history?

There are no active sports that involve cheerleaders right now and it's not likely that they're practicing anywhere.

He's probably had this fantasy for more than 3 months. He just got around to trying to build bombs now and welp.

e: Seems like pretty lame rear end bombs if having one go off right in your face just costs you one and a half hands. If the bomb landed like 2 feet from the hot cheerleaders there would be no serious injuries at all. Incels can't even do a terrorism, LOL.

The devastating accident obviously occurred when he was trying to fix his broken lawnmower, and said broken lawnmower explains the overgrown garden. His story checks out.

They mentioned there was also a canister of rusty nails with his bomb making kit, so I'm guessing he hadn't added the payload? Because I think it'd be a very different story if the shrapnel he got hit with was rusty bits of pointy metal.

If he had added the shrapnel and it was a serious pipe bomb at all, he'd be dead instead of just losing hands.

The lawnmower was clearly not working, because the engine was full of nails.

And pipes.

And explosives.



Apparently making effective pipe bombs is pretty hard, look at the Unabomber's success rate.

Obviously we should probably avoid posting any serious info on IEDs here, but the Unabomber's biggest problem was sophisticated detonators that let him plant bombs and then have them explode long after he was gone. Making an effective pipe bomb is really easy; the hard part is making it safely and coming up with a reliable detonator when you're being safe.
