At the worst I made a sardonic joke about it:
"I confess! Ted Kaczynski (Unabom) had an accomplice that nobody knows about it -- and I was it!"

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
