W for Uncle Ted

  On the subject of Ted Kaczynski and people in the Epstein files, I get an opportunity to revive this old limerick:

  Lewinsky and Clinton have shown,
  what Kaczynski must surely have known:
  That an intern is better
  than a bomb in a letter
  of the possible ways to be blown.

  Dude was ahead of the curve. I ain’t his praises here at least once a week.

  He also bombed a Campus police officer, multiple planes, two store owners, etc.

  There isn’t praiseworthy fiber in this man, he needed help and pity.

    Its still a valid conversation

    It’s less about showing him to be even vaguely moral, and proving that the US government is supremely corrupt and immoral.

      The meme, maybe, but the fucking post title says “W for Uncle Ted”

  Presumably a reference to David Gelernter for anyone else wondering.

  • BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    In one 2011 email, Gelernter recommended an undergraduate student to Epstein for an editorial position in part because she was a “v[ery] small goodlooking blonde”.

    Fucking psychopath. Not sorry Ted blew off his jerk-off hand.

      telling colleagues that he was “very glad [he] wrote the note” and that Epstein "…was obsessed with girls (like every other unmarried billionaire in Manhattan; in fact, like every other heterosex[ual] male), and if I hadn’t said what I did in that letter ten-odd years ago, he would certainly have called me & asked for a lot more aesthetic detail. (This is how men behave.)

      His response to the backlash is insane.

    For those who go down the rabbit hole:

    • Wikipedia still lists him as employed at Yale
    • Yale’s faculty page still has him listed
    • He was very recently relieved from teaching duties while Yale reviews the emails that happened after Epstein’s conviction
    • He rates last out of 82 computer science professors at Yale

      I’m wondering why he had a job to begin with. Being against women in the workforce should preclude you from being allowed to teach women who might enter the workforce.

      With professors like that, it’s no wonder that there’s a dearth of women in CS.

  In another post, I mentioned that he may have been correct all along, and the people he targeted had it coming, except for the innocent ones. Ted was a bit sloppy on that regard.

  I got savagely downvoted.

    This is typical of far right dipshits though. 1. vaguely identify an actual observable problem that any fuckup can see 2. be wrong about a bunch of stuff 3. murder

      Uncle Ted was the polar opposite of a “far right dipshit” though unless I am missing something

    The people were guilty except for the innocent ones?

    source

    • Donkter@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      I think they mean the targets were guilty but the post office workers and secretaries that got bombed were still innocent.

      Yep, pretty much. Seems like unassailable logic to me.

      Not that different from all the innocents the US gov has murdered. We literally just watched ICE gun down two citizens in Minnesota and per usual nothing will happen or change.

    Correct all along, aside from suggesting that we need to essentially genocide each other until all states collapse and the population is a small fraction of what it is today.

  What proof is there that Ted Kaczynski actually got anyone in the Epstein files?

  source

  • Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    One case mentioned further up is David Gelernter, who survived with permanent injuries and shows up in the Epstein files to the point of it now ending his career.

    This is however well after the attacks, the Unabomber predates the timespan we have significant information about. Given the wiki entry of that David Gelernter, I wouldn’t be surprised if he shows up in some analog Epstein documents we don’t yet know about.

    I checked another random victim and found no info at all at a glance though, so I’m not convinced on the unabomber picking targets based on this, which seems like what some others here are claiming. Could just be a by-chance hit. If you bomb people you dislike I suppose you’ll have an increased chance of targetting pedos by intuition.

      Interesting. I can’t say I’m surprised he got someone who appeared on the list, but it just being by chance tracks
