MODERATORS
Haven't read unobomber's manifesto and probably never will because fuck anyone who seeks attention this way.
I don't approve of his methods, either.
Then again, I don't approve of the Church's methods, but there's some pretty good stuff buried in the Christian bible, too.
Reading something doesn't mean you need to agree with the author. It's not like people are financially supporting the Unibomber, or excusing his actions, when they read his manifesto. They're just studying history.
The comment was half just an excuse to mispell the name after OP set it up like that.
But from what I've heard, I'm not missing much of value, so I'd only be reading ramblings of a madman.
Absolute insanity. Obviously a madman.
Well I didn't need Ted to figure that out. How does the rest hold up?
Unebomber had some valid complaints
They have been made by much better people who weren't also eco-fascists.
Yes, but few people talk about them.
Thats the problem. So maybe rather than giving the eco-fascist more coverage, we should highlight people who deserve it
Unebombers actions were bad indeed.
Eco terrorist, actually.
Damn you're so brave for condemning the unybomber.
Given the 2:1 ratio on that comment it seems like it actually is a contentious opinion. Maybe the backlash is all due to it being interpreted as virtue signaling, but... there's so many comments in here unironically praising Ted for his ideas and refraining from commenting on his later actions (or actively justifying them as ex: a way to be taken seriously).
I think the contentious part is you acting sanctimonious about it. I know it rubbed me the wrong way, hence, my sarcasm.
I'm not sure it's unwarranted to explicitly condemn the unabomber here, though. People are unironically praising him in these comments - if condemnation was as obvious as you implied you would have much stronger grounds on which to call me sanctimonious, but right now there's plenty of people arguing the effectiveness of what he did in distributing his message and nobody that's yet pointed out that he was a literal terrorist.
And you're so brave for condemning terrorism.
It's rather depressing that that's what you consider brave, but I'll take the compliment.
You're being sanctimonious again.
There are the people who agree that terrorism is bad, but want to discuss the things he had to say anyway. For them, you're just ignoring the premise of the thread with your oh so brave condemnation of terrorism. It's not that they disagree with your condemnation, but rather, they want to discuss him and the things they agree with despite it.
Nah, I was just being sarcastic. You were being a troll, it seemed fair. That said, 'Sanctimonious' ("Righteousness accompanied by an unwarranted attitude of moral or social superiority") is how you're behaving now. I never implied any superiority over other commenters, just that they haven't expressed any condemnation of him in favor of discussing his work with a concerning amount of detachment - and that I'm concerned about the social realities that leads to that being normalized. It's concerning, especially because as others have pointed out the fame that came from him being a terrorist has buried discussion about the work of the much better philosophers he (charitably) synthesized his ideas from.
people also talk about it as if everyone knows what its about
haven't seen a tldr so far
i will use that term whenever someone hits me with a few +4 in a game
Dead people can't do much with attention
UNObomber? Is that the Mexican knockoff version?
Onionbomber always brings a tear to the eye.
