I figured this is an appropriate place to ask but what is up with people ironically sympathising with Ted Kaczynski

Like what was in his writing that he believed that's so agreeable

his writing viscerally expresses capitalist alienation, even if he himself fundamentally misunderstands what is happening and so comes to some really stupid conclusions. folks latch on to that via out of context quotes passed around social media, which makes it easy to ignore the right wing lunacy that suffuses everything he writes.

capitalism and industrialization are so fundamentally paired wrt all existing human development so its not terribly surprising. if you can't imagine a better future that emerges from the one we currently have, all you are left with are fantasies of primitive utopias

write an insane yet catchy enough manifesto, and hateful internet weirdos will pretend to overlook all the actual innocent people you hurt or killed for the lulz

it's like the Michael Jackson Rule, but for kids who grew up on 4chan

The more germane question is if he would even be on the internet. I want to say yes. Maybe posting all day would've taken up too much time for him to type those letter and mail the bombs.

If it's anything like the anarchists I know, they will say something like "DIY centrifuges will provide home made insulin" and "our vegetable garden will make us all healthy and we won't need medication anymore" and I'm like "yeah my gf literally needs SSRIs or she will kill herself from the constant pain in her head". This dumb poo poo descends into nonsense alternative medicine so loving fast its staggering. The alienation we experience under the bullshit healthcare system leads to poo poo like this and they don't see it or understand or care where kidney transplants will come from and who is going to operate on it.

You need a kidney.
