Honest to god, it was ingrained into my head as a child that he wanted to kill anyone who used a computer. But seeing how ridiculous that sounds today and how it sounds eerily similar to any critique of capitalism, I’m thinking he has parts of a communist ideal.

It really looks just like someone who could be a radical leftist but decided to become a fascist at the last minute. And it’s also so fucking absurd it helps me understand why there’s a guy that thinks everything big is an op

I guess I’m basically asking how he is read by the hexbear powers that be

Could transition have saved her? Rest in power, victims of MKULTRA. Get strapped, go to the woods.

Is that a joke or are you serious about that?

A significant mental shift took place in graduate school, Kaczynski reported, during a period when he considered having a sex-change operation.

He said he recalled setting up an appointment at the University of Michigan’s health center after weeks of fantasizing about becoming a female. By the time of his consultation, however, he lost his nerve and lied to the psychiatrist. Leaving the building in shame, Kaczynski said, he developed a violent hatred for the psychiatrist.

Medical gatekeeping was still really harsh back then, too. Julia Serano devotes an entire chapter to it in Whipping Girl. Either way, I don't think HRT alone would have been enough, sadly; there were a lot of other brainworms to untangle there.

As Jesus Christ said, "If it is your penis that causes you to sin, cast it off"
