-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ .

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

NOOOOOOOOOOOO
I mean I want to read it so I can laugh at it. That said, our guy here probably wasn't going to laugh at it.
He gave four stars to Uncle Ted
its so funny to give the unabomber manifesto a 4/5. like what you have notes? its not quite the perfect manifesto???
I remember watching a documentary on him and they had a montage of interviews where there was one environmental activist being like "He was right about all the stuff but he shouldn't have bombed people."
Which stuck with me for being very funny given that the manifesto is in service of justifying bombing people.
"Could've used a better editor"
I d e o l o g y
honestly? no ideology, just pure vibes
I don't think this man has brainworms because even worms require oxygen to live
where there should be grey matter there is just a void studded with chat-GPT prompts like the twinkling ghosts of long-dead stars
It's pretty common for right wing nerds to use the unibomber manifesto as their one single, token piece of "leftist" theory they've engaged with so they can pull the old "unlike you I can read books I disagree with
"
I think it's mostly because 1) it's edgy 2) no real leftist movement developed from or even has been attached to it, so it's harmless to them and 3) he spends quite a lot of it ranting about feminists from what I remember
God damn, that's a lot of self-help books.
Him falling off of Harry Potter after like three books is pretty funny.
Also noticed
honestly ted was a stupid asshole, he mostly killed academics and he blamed technology for things that could be entirely attributed to capitalism. his legacy is the idea that the only alternative to how we live rn is caveman
Genuinely just a reactionary fascist in his social views, it's really easy to tell if someone has not read the manifesto past the opening if they try and argue that he's either a leftist or outside of standard politics, cause basically his first complaint is he's not allowed to use insensitive terms for women, black people, and asians.
Because of woke.
"I wrote you as a wojak and me as a chad" - Industrial :a-guy: and it's Consequences
Yeah, to be clear I'm not pro Ted, I just think it's funny how ideologically inconsistent is this guy is.
its ok, he balanced it out with Musks biography lol.
Gotta get him into
's book club when he's in prison.
Why does he look like Dave Franco 😂
Hillbilly Elegy
His last quoted book is The Lorax tho
