Not endorsing but putting in perspective, that symbol of domestic terrorism killed less people in 20 years than police in one day.
Just to be pedantic, it's fewer - not less. You use less for things that you can't count.
Yeah i know, it's one of those words in english i still have problems with.
That’s an asinine comparison. One person didn’t kill as many people as a larger group? You could state the same thing in many ways depending on the “point” you want to make.
TIL Ted Kaczynksi was still alive (up until recently)
Honestly I thought he had died like 20 years ago
I am a bit surprised he lasted this long all things considered. He has clearly struggled with his mental health this whole time.
I guarantee this world is better off with you in it (especially if you are a beehaw user).
There are times and places for guerilla marketing, and embedded in a "don't commit suicide" message is one that I would argue falls outside of that set.
I will admit it made me laugh tho
It's more my confusion about the way this platform works lol I wasn't suggesting or advertising, I thought it was a post only beehaw users would see
Remembering back to a time when killing three people was a big fucking deal.
I'll say what we're all thinking - could transition have saved her?
Not quite sure I was thinking it, but it's a thread to pull for sure. Could have maybe saved the 3 dead and 23 injured as well.
Trans girls with the time machine:
wut?
“In the psychiatric evaluation, Johnson reveals that Kaczynski had persistent and intense sexual fantasies about being a woman. While he was a graduate student at the University of Michigan in 1967, he went to a psychiatrist to discuss his wishes for a sex change operation. But in the waiting room, he decided he could not go forward. Instead, he told the psychiatrist he was depressed about the possibility of being drafted.”
Heard this earlier today and had to make the joke. Kind of tragic...
It's a bit of a reach, but Ted blamed gender confusion for the bombing spree: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1998/09/12/gender-confusion-sex-change-idea-fueled-kaczynskis-rage-report-says/eb33b946-8595-427d-af4c-9ccaada45935/
Sad how right he was in his beliefs but how wrong he was in his actions.
And nothing of value was lost.
See you space cowboy…
An end of an era that quite a few won't be miss.
I watched a b-movie documentation kind of about him recently. Wasn't the best but learned some things that it didn't know.
I've read everything he's ever written. A real genius, who was able to look beyond many of our modern, pointless issues and understand the real long term threat of modernization.
RIP to a real one.
I may disagree with his chosen methods, but his Industrial Society and Its Future is on point.
