Comment on The unAbomber. Otherwise, I agree.
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 16 hours agoGiven 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.

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.

And you’re so brave for condemning terrorism.

It’s a rather depressing statement on your personality that that’s what you consider brave, but I’ll take the compliment.
