I think anyone paying attention can see that leftists are self loathing. I came to the same realization along time ago. You don't need to live in a shack in the woods or be especially bright. They abuse the shit out of their bodies. They abuse the shit out of each other. The abuse the shit out their children. They go out of their way to convey that they are a fragile broken human. They never stop talking about even the slightest abuses they've suffered. They are self loathing and cannot exist without abuse.

I read this a few years back. Very great read, but take it with a grain of salt. He was still extremely polarized. I feel we have a few Teds creeping around voat.

A lot of whistle blowers are made out to be insane. And if they have a based manifesto they altar it to make them look insane and focus on whatever ill deeds they committed. But when you compare those deeds to leftist's ill deeds, it pales in comparison.
Thanks for the paste, I wasn't about to click a WaPo link.

"the whole we-need-to-abandon-technology-and-live-in-the-woods part" is the best part wtf are you talking about?

Most people will have a hard time accepting this is the truth, because they have become so hopelessly addicted to technology. Over time, I've realized Ted's vision IS how we should probably be living. It seems more sustainable than our current system.

Maybe in a country like Canada or America, where there is room to just go out in the woods. Most of the world will end up killing each other if they tried doing that, too many damn people. Without technology many would die, perhaps that is how it should be, idk. In another sense though I think humans should leave the wilds to regrow in peace. Humans can all live in the cities and let the world develop the way it will. There are ways to live in harmony with nature, but the amount of people will beggar the earth's natural bounty. Definitely a beautiful idea though, Wouldn't cause to much harm if a few people did it.

The problem with abandoning technology is that our own salvation could very well prove our doom. A better plan would be to achieve the required tech level to seed colonies. Then let those people do it. It would be the societal equivalent to mutation. Maybe those people die off. Maybe they are the only people to survive. The point is we need a few humans on a couple of other planets before we all wander into the coca fields never to return.

The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser
I lold. I didn't expect a genius schizophrenic nutjob technophobe to be able to speak truth so succinctly and using plain language.

Yeah, the system of control has made it impossible to live outside the system and be a respectable person. You will most likely end up living in the woods or living as a bum. Maybe it's just that we're slaves, and he was free from that same slavery.

This was a brilliant mind that our government twisted and destroyed for its own sick purposes. Say what you want about his methods, for they were truly insane, but we created the Unabomber. The deep state broke him in an effort to make him their puppet. We probably never would have even heard of this guy if he had been sending his bombs to people on an approved list.

Ted may have been nuts, but he was an incredibly intelligent man. For someone who seemed to have such a tight grasp of how the world works, I still can't figure out how he thought his little campaign would make any difference. He could have had far more success as a philosopher than a murderer.

When Muslims rape women and kill people, the Muslims are the victims.

He also railed against the military-industrial complex also. I think he expected his manifesto to get traction, but instead it got buried. It was a good plan (I mean, you know, the plan, not the actions) but we've gotten hip to the game and make sure to not turn people into martyrs anymore.

It's like Mein Kampf. It's easily available in America, but when the author is painted as being the most evil man in the world, people aren't going to embrace the message. Ted comes off as a crazy psycho, so the message didn't have the ability to spread.
[–] Nayra [S] 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
He really could have. I find it amazing how well he managed to quickly describe the psychology of leftists.
At the same time, he had a well-documented involvement with the MK Ultra program which I'm sure was unhealthy.
It's pretty unfortunate. He would've been a huge figurehead in the current anti-PC war.

i think if the internet today existed back then, he would be a lot more popular and powerful.
