        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.

        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 smuglord "

      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
