Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

He gave four stars to Uncle Ted
its so funny to give the unabomber manifesto a 4/5. like what you have notes? its not quite the perfect manifesto???
I remember watching a documentary on him and they had a montage of interviews where there was one environmental activist being like "He was right about all the stuff but he shouldn't have bombed people."
Which stuck with me for being very funny given that the manifesto is in service of justifying bombing people.
"Could've used a better editor"

honestly? no ideology, just pure vibes
I don't think this man has brainworms because even worms require oxygen to live
where there should be grey matter there is just a void studded with chat-GPT prompts like the twinkling ghosts of long-dead stars
It's pretty common for right wing nerds to use the unibomber manifesto as their one single, token piece of "leftist" theory they've engaged with so they can pull the old "unlike you I can read books I disagree with
"
I think it's mostly because 1) it's edgy 2) no real leftist movement developed from or even has been attached to it, so it's harmless to them and 3) he spends quite a lot of it ranting about feminists from what I remember
