Can we please get Bonanno in the wee chidrenses hands instead of this rubbish

On what appears to be Mangione’s GoodReads account, the 26-year-old reviewed the Unabomber’s book, giving it four stars out of five. In his lengthy review, Magnione described Ted Kaczynski’s “In Industrial Society and Its Future” as a book “clearly written by a mathematics prodigy” adding that it “reads like a series of lemmas on the question of 21st century quality of life.” “It’s easy to quickly and thoughtless write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies” the review reads. “But it’s simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.” He adds: “He was a violent individual - rightfully imprisoned - who maimed innocent people. While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy luddite, however, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary.” Later in the review, he states: These companies don’t care about you, or your kids, or your grandkids. They have zero qualms about burning down the planet for a buck, so why should we have any qualms about burning them down to survive? We’re animals just like everything else on this planet, except we’ve forgotten the law of the jungle and bend over for our overlords when any other animal would recognize the threat and fight to the death for their survival. “Violence never solved anything” is a statement uttered by cowards and predators.

I mean... Depending on the size of the reading list, it may mean a lot or very little. If he's a voracious reader with a wide scope, no big deal - maybe he had a legitimate interest in context. If on the other hand, he's read two books this year and one is Mein Kampf... 🚨🚨🚨🚨

I haven't myself, but I know people who've read it and I don't think for a second that they're sympathetic to Hitler.

That's not ideal, but by itself I still could see that one coming from a, "what the fuck is going on in these assholes heads" perspective. I'm not leaping to any conclusions either way, except one: anonymous heroes are almost always better than actual humans.

@Iguanadelmar The reason makes a huge difference.

Headline: "Jew Beaten Up While on Vacation"

Did a nazi do it because he was wearing a kippah or did an anarchist do it because he overhead him talking about being active duty IDF?

@hakan_geijer for sure, its just gotten to the point where we are creating an image of him to project our hopes and dreams into, which doesnt necessarily have to have much to do with the reality
