I read about halfway through his manifesto a year or so ago before other things grabbed my attention. There was nothing in it that hasn't been pointed out many times by posters here. It was profoundly observant about society, in most respects.
He was wrong in mailing his bombs out. 'Nuff said. But if he had written his manifesto today minus the bombing, he'd be hailed as a parallel to Jordan Peterson. |

If he's so smart how come he's sitting in a Supermax prison? Brutal maimings and killings of scientists with bombs is sheer barbarism. He's a garbage human, and that's it. View Quote |

He was right, sorta. I think he got it backwards tho. AnPrims fatal flaw is that humans have been a technocentric species since the adoption of crude hand tools. You cannot unring that bell. Instead, we should embrace Crypto Anarchy and transhumanism. Self limitation is for faggots. View Quote >When deer form a road on your property >[ancap & anprim] autistic screeching. |

That's true but he wrote his manifesto in 1995 now it's common to discuss these beliefs on a open forum. I don't think Kazinski was a prophet, patriot or hero I think he popped his Pmag so to speak. Same as Timothy McVeigh. View Quote Scouts who don't do that crap are great for the cause. They write fiction or non-fiction about what's coming in 20 years. We adjust accordingly. |

Quoted:
That guy is what happens when someone doesn't have one friend in the whole world. He's like Private Pyle in FMJ, or the Joker in TDN. They come to resent existence because they only see the suffering side of life, no light or brightness. At that point, they each take a slightly different path. There is no point to living if there are no other people in the world, and that is the position they are in. They think everyone else is also alone, so the compassionate and logical thing to do is end everyone's suffering. They fail to understand that while everyone does suffer at some point (or even daily), most people have a "why" that allows them to bear their cross without wishing for annihilation.

From late 1959 to early 1962, Murray was responsible for experiments that have come widely to be considered unethical, in which he used twenty-two Harvard undergraduates as research subjects.[4] Among other goals, experiments sought to measure individuals' responses to extreme stress. The unwitting undergraduates were submitted to what Murray called "vehement, sweeping and personally abusive" attacks. Specifically-tailored assaults to their egos, cherished ideas and beliefs were used to cause high levels of stress and distress. The subjects then viewed recorded footage of their reactions to this verbal abuse repeatedly.
Among them was 17-year-old Ted Kaczynski, a mathematician who went on to become the Unabomber, a domestic terrorist targeting academics and technologists for 18 years.[5] Alston Chase's book Harvard and the Unabomber: The Education of an American Terrorist connects Kaczynski's abusive experiences under Murray to his later criminal career.[5] |

He wrote everything in code and from my understanding, some it has not been broken yet.

Obvious answer is obvious.
Polls such as this is what will get AR15.com plastered across CNN or one of the liberal leaning media outlets eventually. We actually have people voting that he was a prophet and a patriot in this poll, and in another poll/thread, people actually believing that Bonnie and Clyde were murdered....even when case law specifically covered the officers at the time. |

Quoted: Read his manifesto. He was a genius, and understood the problems with the way technology is destroying society. But he was also a wack job that sent bombs in the mail. _ View Quote I wouldn't say whack job, but it was a very bad idea to use that method to get his points out there. He saw the threat and decided to act. Wish he would have used a better method. |

The squirrels in his head told him it was a groovy idea to commit murder after he was frustrated with his own behavior regarding his temporary desire to undergo a sex change.
He is broken. I remember being in the mail room at college when he was mailing out his love notes to random victims in academia. He meets the definition of terrorist. Does that package have a full return address? Does the intended recipient recognize the name of the sender? Is there a mix of different stamps used to post the package? |

He was all of the above, but the positives in no way excuse his actions.

This is why armed revolution will never happen in this country. Because the first person to FO will be like this guy.

Not really a prophet, but his manifesto is worth reading.
Otherwise, a sociopath. |

Quoted:
The Unabomber was a gifted student, but always isolated. He grew up as kind of an outcast, lowest kid in the pecking order in grade school. He apparently had only one friend for a brief period, who then betrayed him when peer pressure to beat up the “weird kid” took over. After that, I believe the only childhood friend he had was his younger brother. If he’d been born in the past decade or two, I think there’s a good chance he’d be diagnosed as having Asperger’s or very high functioning autism. Because of his academic success, he went to college a year or two early. He thought he found a like-minded intellectual environment, but he was still isolated because of his social awkwardness. Worse, he was mentored by a professor he thought was a friend, who turned out to be using him as a test subject for psychology experiments on identity and self-esteem. Women? Forget it. The closest he came was a painful infatuation with an office girl at a job his brother had gotten him after dropping out of college. What was really just a sad attempt at reaching out to the opposite sex on the part of a broken individual who was struggling, looked creepy and stalker-ish from everyone else’s perspective. When his younger brother got married and was living a “normal life” in the society he despised, it was perhaps the final “betrayal” that sent him over the edge. Being highly intelligent in terms of literacy and mathematics, but very deficient in social intelligence, he could not understand that his life sucked because HE had problems, or perhaps he did, but felt he had no way to fix himself. So his thinking became pathological and he built his entire “Man in technological society” philosophy and manifesto. The semi-random anonymous bombings of university science departments, and small computer businesses through the mail was probably because he couldn’t stand urban society long enough to develop larger plans, and also because of his own personal poverty, lacking a car, or tools and resources to build and transport larger bombs. By the standards of an insanity defense, namely, so insane he didn’t know what he was doing was wrong, he didn’t come close to meeting it. He knew it was wrong, but he did it anyway. View Quote |

Right in what he believed in, wrong in his execution. View Quote There was a really good profile about him in The Atlantic a long time ago that is still available, definitely worth a read if the subject interests you: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2000/06/harvard-and-the-making-of-the-unabomber/378239/ Harvard and the Making of the Unabomber In the fall of 1958 Theodore Kaczynski, a brilliant but vulnerable boy of sixteen, entered Harvard College. There he encountered a prevailing intellectual atmosphere of anti-technological despair. There, also, he was deceived into subjecting himself to a series of purposely brutalizing psychological experiments—experiments that may have confirmed his still-forming belief in the evil of science.
