I do not support in any way the crimes perpetrated by this terrorist.

100% agree on that. I think he did have some good arguments that were lost in his manifesto, but as they say a broken clock is wrong twice.
Its a shame he used such violent and extream means, I think some of his points, not most of them, but some of them were interesting when I self reflect on how I depend on society and how technology is basically become a part of human evolution.
That said I can't condone what he did or how he used violence to further his own agenda.

The lack of integrity and human values of the person is orthogonal to the issue but the issue is forevermore tainted and set back with such an infamous association. Antihero in not a good way, a ruinous villain who did infinitely more harm and zero good. Whatever the issue, the means to the end matter.

Is it really any different from what we see these days with protesters? They don’t care at all when they block highways and bridges and tunnels. Lots of people get impacted - including those needing to get to hospitals or loved ones. What about when protestors use physical force and violence to destroy businesses and property. In my opinion, all of it is terrorism based on the definition, but we just stopped using those labels.

"What about when protestors use physical force and violence to destroy businesses and property"
Then they're no longer protesters, but rather rioters.

Which specific protestors? You're painting with a huge brush.

His crimes were (ironically) the perfect gift to his perceived enemies because it provided a reason to discredit and ignore him.

Yep. His efforts were completely counterproductive and worthless. Right analysis but entirely wrong and stupid prescription. I read several of his books out of tackling of infamous works like Mein Kampf and Das Kapital. I couldn't bring myself to read Henry Ford's books, however.
