Unebomber had some valid complaints
Comment on The unAbomber. Otherwise, I agree.

Haven’t read unobomber’s manifesto and probably never will because fuck anyone who seeks attention this way.

That have been made by much better people who weren’t also eco-fascists.

Yes, but few people talk about them.

Thats the problem. So maybe rather than giving the eco-fascist more coverage, we should highlight people who deserve it

Eco terrorist, actually.

Unebombers actions were bad indeed.

I don’t approve of his methods, either.
Then again, I don’t approve of the Church’s methods, but there’s some pretty good stuff buried in the Christian bible, too.
Reading something doesn’t mean you need to agree with the author. It’s not like people are financially supporting the Unibomber, or excusing his actions, when they read his manifesto. They’re just studying history.

The comment was half just an excuse to mispell the name after OP set it up like that.
But from what I’ve heard, I’m not missing much of value, so I’d be reading poorly thought out ramblings of a murderer.

“We give up a piece of ourselves whenever we adjust to conform to society’s standards. That, and we’re too plugged in. We’re letting technology take over our lives, willingly.”
Absolute insanity.

Well I didn’t need Ted to figure that out. How does the rest hold up?

Damn you’re so brave for condemning the unybomber.

Given the 2:1 ratio on that comment it seems like it might actually is a contentious opinion. Maybe the backlash is all due to it being interpreted as virtue signaling, but… there’s so many comments in here unironically praising Ted for his ideas and refraining from commenting on his later actions (or actively justifying them as ex: a way to be taken seriously).

I think the contentious part is you acting sanctimonious about it. I know it rubbed me the wrong way, hence, my sarcasm.
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m not sure it’s unwarranted to explicitly condemn the unabomber here, though. People are unironically praising him in these comments - if condemnation was as obvious as you implied you would have much stronger grounds on which to call me sanctimonious, but right now there’s plenty of people arguing how the effectiveness of what he did distributing in distributing his message and nobody that’s yet pointed out that he was a literal terrorist.
