I unironically love Ted Kaczynski. I read Industrial Society And Its Future a while back and I just read The System's Neatest Trick and it's like the man is looking into my soul and saying all the things I couldn't express. I'm digging into some more of his stuff now and he's not only totally rational, he's fucking prophetic. He saw where society was headed decades before we actually got here and he did all that he could to stop it. It's a shame it ended up playing out the way it did, but damn. He's a hugely misunderstood individual.
People send him mail all the time. I think you just mail it to the prison he's at, but be aware the prison guards most certainly have to look at whatever he gets sent.
Would anyone have even read the manifesto if he didn't terrorize the nation? No probably not. He would have written the paper in college maybe a handful of people would have read it and that would have been the end of it
Paragraph 16, Industrial Society and it's Future
"Take us (FC) for example. If we had never done anything violent and had submitted the present writings to a publisher, they probably would not have been accepted. If they had been been accepted and published, they probably would not have attracted many readers, because it’s more fun to watch the entertainment put out by the media than to read a sober essay. Even if these writings had had many readers, most of these readers would soon have forgotten what they had read as their minds were flooded by the mass of material to which the media expose them. In order to get our message before the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we’ve had to kill people."
Except no one called for violence and I as far as I can recall teds manifesto doesn't call for violence either. It talks about leftists, political correctness, the destruction of the nuclear family, hedonism, lack of fulfillment in life as technology takes care of our basic needs and in general how technology shapes our lives and environment in an irreversible way.
You can condemn him mailing bombs but that doesn't change that most if not all of his predictions and observations in his manifesto were accurate.
And a person can be both good and bad, they can have both good and bad ideas, and they can make both good and bad decisions. The good can stand on its own, and you can appreciate it and applaud it and apply it where relevant. You can condemn the bad just the same. They aren't mutually exclusive. And the good doesn't cancel out the bad, nor does the bad cancel out the good.
Ted has always been like the far cry 5 guy. Dangerous. Unhinged. "We have to censor independent media because of guys like this." Kind of guy. His persona was manufactured to brainwash npcs into being pro-censorship.
Fuck off centrist cuck, this is a nazi/ancap/freedomfighter board. Don't like it, cuck back to the_donald where you came from. Calls for violence have been a hourly item on voats menu here for 3 years, as they have been on pol, and nether place has been shut down. The purpose of this place is to say what can't be said elsewhere. If you cant say those things, then its just another reddit clone. AkA poinless as there is plenty of those clones around.
That's your job gay kike. We have been fine here for over 3 years now. You can go back to your cuck shed where you got BTFO'd from a month ago. Filthy immigrant, go back over the firewall to Africa.
I remember reading it while also working my way through an elective philosophy class and wondering why we weren't reading interesting shit like this instead of lame ass Pascal.

ted talks actually redpilled me hard. they progressively got more and more degenerate until I was like what the actual fuck
angerymaster ago
Sam's brilliant mockery on their own stage for the actual win.
TED talks lately are just women or Indians making intellectual mountains out of the dumbest most touchy feely bullshit they can possibly think of.

Kike tactics. Put on a mask. Come here and make calls for violence. Then if it catches on, use the government to shut this place down.
