The Unabomber's Manifesto - insane or genius? insanely geniu

[left for dead]

Has anyone read this??
I have it, I haven't finished reading it, since it's on my computer, and I don't like reading long things while staring at my screen, it's 69 pages in word.

As far as I have read, it talks about what a leftist is in today's society and other things, I think it's a pretty good read.

Well, you are right, I always thought him as a psycho, but I might change my views after reading the manifesto.

This is part of the introduction:

Unabomber's Statement

NOTE TO READERS: The text that follows was initially sent in June 1995 to the New York Times and The
Washington Post newspapers by the person who calls himself "FC," and is identified by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation as the Unabomber -- whom law enforcement officials have connected to three murders and 16
bombings. The author threatened to send a bomb to unspecified locations, "with intent to kill" unless one of the
newspapers printed the text. The text was published in The Washington Post, as an 8-page supplement, on Tuesday,
September 19, 1995. Nando.net is making the Unabomber's statement below, available as a matter of public
information.

INTRODUCTION

1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the
life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling,
have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical
suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen
the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will
probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in
"advanced" countries.

Oh yes, the Unibomber really is a sparkling example of Socialism. Or whomever wrote that manifesto. Being angry doesn't do anything. Killing people does, if that's your style, i guess.

Who said he was sparkling example of Socialism? I suggest refraining from any comment until you have at least skimmed through his group's work.

The Unabomber earned his name by targeting universities and airplanes I believe. He just didn't randomly send bombs to any one person.

I think that the Unabomber did know who a few of the sixteen victims who he sent bombs to. They were people who had went to or taught at the University at which he was a math teacher.
