His Manifesto, as well as his other books, are worthy of examination.
Also, His brother is one of the worst traitors and should know no love from anyone who ever encounters him.
The man sold out his own brother for thirty pieces of silver in the form of a million dollar reward, at the urging of his snake of a wife. Few people deserve hatred as much as someone who would betray their kin like that.
If you're talking about the Unabomber idk man...
Dude had a great philosophy but killing random people is not cool.
The brother probably saved the lives of dozens of people so it's not really a betrayal.
If my brother was going around killing randos I'd tell the police too.
@basedbagel @sardonicsmile his targets were specific I think
Maybe so but you can't just murder people because you don't agree with their philosophy and expect everyone to be okay with that.
All that bullshit he did and what changed?
Not a damn thing except he's in a cage forever and he embarrassed his family.
As smart as he was he could have just saved some shekels and left the US.
@basedbagel @Scubbie @sardonicsmile - "...you can't just murder people because you don't agree with their philosophy..."
I guess I gotta be that guy. 😅
I believe that you have just described war, sir. Uncle Ted's greatest sin, is that he lost his war.
I used to wonder what made war different from murder. 🤔 I'm not alone in deciding that ultimately, there is no difference.
Most see it as delegitimizing war. I see it as legitimizing murder. 💁🏻♂️🍻
@Scubbie @sardonicsmile
War /= random murder.
War is when 1 state of train soldiers fight another state of trained soldiers for resources.
Not when a nutcase murders unarmed civilians that he doesn't even know.
I know you like the guys philosophy but the problem isn't that he lost the "war". The problem is that he's a nutcase!
There was no endgame his murder spree so he couldn't be reasoned with.
At least when states to to war you can negotiate. You can't negotiate with crazies.
@basedbagel @Scubbie @sardonicsmile - "War ≠ random murder"
Eh, agree to disagree.
Why do people murder each other (random or not), and why do states go to war (and have throughout history & prehistory)? The reasons are the same: Resources, mating, vengeance, ideological differences, self-defense (real or perceived), etc.
A murder is easier to assign guilt for, because it's a single guilty party. But there's just as much guilt to be assigned for a war death. Every American bears ➡️
@basedbagel @Scubbie @sardonicsmile - ➡️ 1/330,000,000th of the guilt for every war death in the middle east. And every war death was a murder.
The only difference would be, that it was a murder that millions of people supported and cheered.
So for the big question: How wrong is murder? - depends on who you ask. But my opinion is: handle your business. And if I disagree with that strongly enough, then I'll be doing some murdering of my own, either in retaliation, or for preventive purposes.
@YoMomz @Scubbie @sardonicsmile
I'm sorry but I can't just let this slide.
Ted was not some virtuous guy.
He was murdering RANDOM people because of his philosophy with no goal in mind.
Murdering random people who did nothing to you is always wrong no matter who you ask.
The war in the middle east was stupid but at least they were going for resources.
Ted was just killing just to kill and he accomplished nothing in the end except making those who share his philosophy look crazy.
@basedbagel @Scubbie @sardonicsmile - It's a little funny. Because while I agree with his manifesto, I'm not specifically defending Ted here.
I'm simply equating murder and war. Ted was fighting a personal war.
@YoMomz @Scubbie @sardonicsmile
Random murder and war are not the same thing.
One has a clear objective and the other is just senseless killing that accomplished nothing.
Ted was not fighting a war, he was being a delusional menace killing random people for his crackpot ideas and in the end was as useful as a fart in the shower.
@basedbagel @Scubbie @sardonicsmile - Well, it's a classic line: One man's terrorist, is another man's freedom fighter. 💁🏻♂️
