ted was right that the left is a bunch of whiny homos

No, you said the brother was worse than ted which means you think calling the cops is worse than blowing a janitor's dick and balls off with a pube bomb. A controversial opinion, to be sure

quote:

195. The revolution must be international and worldwide. It cannot be carried out on a nation-by-nation basis. Whenever it is suggested that the United States, for example, should cut back on technological progress or economic growth, people get hysterical and start screaming that if we fall behind in technology the Japanese will get ahead of us. Holy robots! The world will fly off its orbit if the Japanese ever sell more cars than we do!

quote:

It might even be argued that an industrial system controlled by dictators would be preferable, because dictator-controlled systems usually have proved inefficient, hence they are presumably more likely to break down. Look at Cuba.

quote:

182. It will be objected that the French and Russian Revolutions were failures. But most revolutions have two goals. One is to destroy an old form of society and the other is to set up the new form of society envisioned by the revolutionaries. The French and Russian revolutionaries failed (fortunately!) to create the new kind of society of which they dreamed, but they were quite successful in destroying the old society

quote:

The activists will never be satisfied until tobacco is outlawed, and after that it will be alcohol, then junk food, etc. Activists have fought gross child abuse, which is reasonable. But now they want to stop all spanking. When they have done that they will want to ban something else they consider unwholesome, then another thing and then another. They will never be satisfied until they have complete control over all child rearing practices. And then they will move on to another cause.

220. Suppose you asked leftists to make a list of ALL the things that were wrong with society, and then suppose you instituted EVERY social change that they demanded. It is safe to say that within a couple of years the majority of leftists would find something new to complain about, some new social �evil� to correct because, once again, the leftist is motivated less by distress at society�s ills than by the need to satisfy his drive for power by imposing his solutions on society.

quote:

223. Some readers may say, �This stuff about leftism is a lot of crap.

quote:

Identification with victims by people not themselves victims can be seen to some extent in 19th century leftism and early Christianity but as far as we can make out, symptoms of low self-esteem, etc., were not nearly so evident in these movements, or in any other movements, as they are in modern leftism. But we are not in a position to assert confidently that no such movements have existed prior to modern leftism. This is a significant question to which historians ought to give their attention.

well i finished reading it.

ted gets a laugh-out-loud line when he uncharacteristically dives into casual sarcasm:

he'd get fuckin cooked in a debate with modern internet-powered tankies:



i was definitely not expecting it to end with a barnstorming call for worldwide revolution against the industrial-technological society, and then to have a second directionless ending where kaczynski bitches and moans about how leftists want to ban booze, smoking, and spanking children



kaczysnki finishes his historic essay, not with a call for humanity to unite against the sinister technological forces that are enslaving them, but with a call for historians to figure out what the hell is wrong with leftists

i once saw an SA post that noted that if you find-replaced every instance of "leftist" in the manifesto with "liberal," cspam would've lost its mind hootin and hollerin over kaczysnki

overall it's quite the document, but it ends in about the wimpiest way possible. not exactly "workers of the world unite"

appreciate your hard work here finding and posting all the problematic bits written by a guy who lived in the woods and mailed bombs to people so theyd stop watching tv

Regardless of what you think about the unabomber and manifesto as a whole, you have to admit "The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race" is a real banger of an opening sentence

No wonder leftists admire him.
