Aye, I read some transcripts. It's the height of double-speak. I've never met anyone who can avoid providing direct information as well as Unism. You'll forgive me for not watching the youtube videos though? I don't want that shit in my recommended. That's a rabbit hole I'd prefer to avoid.

Not trying to be mean or anything, just saying, a cult is a cult is a cult.


I feel you, and no I dont blame you. If you want, you can listen to audiobook of Ted K's works. I suggest the systems neatest trick first and then maybe something like industrial society. Ted was very fucking smart, but you just cant make change happen by blowing people up.

Ted was a genius and he was right about a lot of things, he went off the deep end hard though like he was trying to prevent skynet.
Unism is just silly.

Nobody ever claimed he was stupid. We all read his manifesto. And for those who didn't: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/unabomber/manifesto.text.htm

The problem I have is that I don't need a cult to interpret him for me. He was crazy. Smart? Absolutely. Crazy, absolutely.

Quite welcome. I prefer source material, in general. I think Ted K. had a lot of wisdom to share. I mostly wish he hadn't done it blowing people up, yes?

Sounds idealistic and a recipe for the naive to be crushed by fascists.

I highly suggest for those left and right to check out Unism

here is their website: https://theunists.com/category/what-is-unism/

here is their youtube (lots of good stuff, I suggest "how to end racism" ) : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6kQmpMtF_tEu6roEW0VMeA

What do you think about unism?

What do you think about modern technological society?

What do you think about revolt? And what does a legitimate revolt with direction look like to you?

What do you think about liberty and security? Which one should we have more of?

here is something scary and probably warrants its own thread
