The Unabomber has died in prison.

Whenever speaking of nutjobs through history, no list is complete without Ted Kaczynski.

Huh.

I thought he died years ago.

Oh well. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[Jbo]

And not a single #### was given.

I thought he was executed years ago, but I'm probably mixing him up with the OKC bombers.

Could be. They were friends in prison too.

He forced The Washington Post, in conjunction with The New York Times, to make the agonizing decision in September 1995 to publish his 35,000-word manifesto, “Industrial Society and Its Future,” which claimed modern society and technology was leading to a sense of powerlessness and alienation.

I guess he was ultimately right though…

You can't eat your cake and have it too, Ted.

Reading his predictions about technology and the future, he was so accurate that they read as obvious and banal from a modern perspective.

I was wondering why it was Unabomber and not Unibomber. Turns out it might be Unabomer? UNiversity and Airline Bomber...shortened to Unabom by FBI or something?

11. When someone interprets as derogatory almost anything that is said about him (or about groups with whom he identifies) we conclude that he has inferiority feelings or low self-esteem. This tendency is pronounced among minority rights activists, whether or not they belong to the minority groups whose rights they defend. They are hypersensitive about the words used to designate minorities and about anything that is said concerning minorities. The terms “negro,” “oriental,” “handicapped” or “chick” for an African, an Asian, a disabled person or a woman originally had no derogatory connotation. “Broad” and “chick” were merely the feminine equivalents of “guy,” “dude” or “fellow.” The negative connotations have been attached to these terms by the activists themselves. Some animal rights activists have gone so far as to reject the word “pet” and insist on its replacement by “animal companion.” Leftish anthropologists go to great lengths to avoid saying anything about primitive peoples that could conceivably be interpreted as negative. They want to replace the world “primitive” by “nonliterate.” They seem almost paranoid about anything that might suggest that any primitive culture is inferior to our own. (We do not mean to imply that primitive cultures ARE inferior to ours. We merely point out the hypersensitivity of leftish anthropologists.)

I haven't read the whole thing, but he appears to have been an early anti-wokeite.

He has a quote about how the oppressors of the future will be the privileged children of rich liberals that i cant seem to find.
