I pass by that building on my way to work, and it was still smoking into the wee hours after the attack. Still, highway 183 didn't slow up at all next to a literal black hole torn into the edifice of the modern glass box. If there was a more flagrant example in my own experience of 'combined and uneven apocalypse' I can't think of one.
One of the most farcical things was that the paleo-libertarian Bircher type conspiracy radio stations in Austin were already denouncing it as a 'false-flag' government operation within minutes. Despite the fact that this is exactly the sort of regressive act they support.
That is to say, for anyone who's read the letter, a lot of rage toward the inequity and random injustice of trying to live under capitalism was perversely redirected toward the 'distortions' caused to it by the state. So he begins by denouncing corrupt politicians and the rich, and ends by killing government office workers.
A friend and I noticed how much his manifesto seemed determined to maintain that he was NOT a worker, NO- he was an independent contractor, a self made professional, some kind of Jeffersonian Freeholder etc.In this sense the act itself seemed to say 'you want my plane, here's my plane'. Rather than, say, selling his plane...
It would definitely be something new for a Burzum album to go into quotidian interludes about the 1987 amendments to the IRS tax code.
