Ted was the world's first time-traveler.

He went back in time to try and stop all this but didn't succeed.

PROVE ME WRONG

I was about to post the exact same thing.

He’s not wrong. He may be a psychopath, but you cannot argue with his synopsis of leftists.

This right here. Kaczynski had some insightful ideas about society and politics but instead of using his genius-level IQ to solve problems via academia or political activism, he chose to become a violent terrorist. What a waste.



That's what England probably would have said about our founding fathers.

The truth is that, Ted, just didn't have enough people that had his back. His greatest mistake was in that he didn't form a coalition.

The difference between a terrorist and a revolutionary is which side you're on and if you win.

No...the English considered the Founding Fathers traitors; not terrorists. They didn't go around blowing up random citizens after they declared independence from Britain. Kaczynski mailed bombs to people and killed them. Morally he isn't even in the same stratosphere.

Well, the left in this country has lost ability to look at an argument in a fair objectionable manner and have rejected all reason in favor of emotional histrionics. They then, in turn, use their baseless arguments as justification to subjugate you to their will.

He simply came to the realization sooner that when dealing with a foe like this the only way to reach them is to appeal to their most basic, primitive and animalistic instincts through violence.

Ted sent bombs to fellow professors. I don't remember if these were guys he knew or whether they were random professors he felt were bringing about the collapse of society through their technological research.

Ted was basically trying to stop Skynet like they did in Terminator 2 when they tried to kill that AI engineer that designed the T-800.

The Klaus Schwab bunch are no different than TK. Both view Humanity through an abstract construct, and hold no reverence for Life. Minus the belief of a Living God as the Source, with created Humanity as a derivative ‘child’, then Love inevitably goes away and supposedly altruistic methods to necessarily control feckless humans become corrupt. Think the coming rise and fall of ‘Antichrist’. Good for the first 3 1/2 years and then when humans can’t cut it (won’t deny Jesus or tow the “Animal Farm” line), turns on them with a vengeance. There will always be “wailing and gnashing of teeth” in this (Parallel) Universal Realm. It’s the ‘buffet’ that ‘Adam and Eve’ chose (by default) when they decided to know the WHOLE Truth in order to make an educated valid choice. Lord have mercy on them who know and choose Love. The “harvest” is upon us.

Yes.

Harvard researcher Henry Murray was a former member of the OSS — the precursor to the CIA — and most certainly was working under the patronage of the CIA while conducting abusive mind control experiments at Harvard.

Theodore Kaczynski was a volunteer in these mind-control experiments when he was a precocious young student at Harvard.

At the same time, another a young Harvard researcher named Timothy Leary was also conducting research on the use of psychoactive drugs such as LSD in mind control experiments under the tutelage of the CIA.

We’re Reaping Tragic Legacy From Drugs: It turns out that Theodore Kaczynski, a.k.a. the Unabomber, was a volunteer in mind-control experiments sponsored by the CIA at Harvard in the late 1950s and early 1960s...

And here we have it folks: evermore government mandates and evermore government servitude is the solution to every societal problem.

This is the Progressive ethos in a nutshell.

Hardly a progressive solution. That is a right wing solution if eever there was one.

The point is that our capitalist system has been so successful that we bestride the world and have become soft. You are surely familiar with the old adage that hard times make strong people; strong people make good times; good times make weak people; and weak people make hard times. Well, that cycle must be broken. It must be broken by preventing the good tmes from making the people weak. Two years, as adolescents, at hard labor solves that problem.

Your solution is simply: muh, freedom. It ignores the certainty that the success engendered by freedom will produce (has already produced) a population clamoring for chains.

ELI5 how "that" is a right-wing solution? Are you vouching for the Left? Because it appears so.

This. But the problem with the Left's Egalitarian 'solutions' if that they don't seek to elevate the strengths of the Weak (suspecting/believing such to be impossible) but to bring the Strong down to the Weak's level. Supposed 'equity' and a civil and prosperous society.
