Fuck off fed
I think they are more likely to be a fash imo. They are trying to normalize a reactionary and far right texts. Fascists love to use the Unabomber to normalize reactionary ideology in leftist circles. And they always do that shit of trying to separate art from the artist like what the commentor is doing
Edit: Check their profile, they are conservative. Their username is occultist. They like the Unabomber Manifesto. The dude is a fascist not a fed.
Hey sorry but why are you reacting like that? Calling someone a cop in anarchist circles is a really heavy accusation and should only be done with actual proof. I also think we should own the fact that anarchists have different or sometimes stupid opinions. Othering people that we dont agree with does not foster an environment where people discuss openly and feel comfortable stating their views or asking questions.
Your second comment seems way better because it gives the person you are responding to and all other readers a chance to educate themselves.
I do not think it is unreasonable of the person to call this out. Liking the Unabomber’s manifesto and saying its their favorite “anarchist” text is a huge red flag. The person being a fed or fash is entirely a realistic concern. Fascists use this strategy all the time. They try to normalize reactionary and far right texts by coming into circles and trying to relate the texts to people and cover their asses by play “separate the art from the artist card.” Like what the person is doing by saying they don’t like Ted but like his work. That is fascist tactics 101. Feds do similar stuff but in an effort to cause division and conflict. I think its less likely the commentor is a fed, and more likely they are a fash.
chill that’s fine, i just don’t get it why sometimes people call other people fed. at least show an argument why my comment is stupid lol
I dont think calling people a fed is fine or something we shoild be fine wirh in anarchist circles
yes, whatever lol i’m not a cop/fed/cia or some shit like that. why would a cop/fed comments here tho?
wtf do u mean 😭 as an asian i don’t get it when people on the internet saying “fed” things. OP asked so i tell mine, i found anarchism like 2 years ago cuz i was interested learning philosophy from my lectures.
I don’t believe you, but just in case.

He was a conservative, a racist, a sexist, and an all around nutbag. He’s a relentlessly bigoted primitivist, not an anarchist as the word means to anarchists, only in the sense that the establishment uses the term as a boogeyman.
i’m not a fan of him personally, i just like his text. the question is all fav text/blog/writings, not fav person. i know the Unabomber manifesto doesn’t represent anarchism totally but the points inside similar to anarchist principal imo.
Its an insanely problematic text with some good points. There are actual anarchist writings that take the few good ideas Ted had and ditches all the problematic stuff. Anyone who says the Unabomber Manifesto is there favorite or similar is a huge red flag. It should not be compared to anarchist ideology. This is not a separate the art from the artist situation because Ted’s shittiness is baked deep into the art itself. I also caution against anarcho-primitivist writings and ideology (the closest anarchist ideology to the Unabomber’s) because those that believe that society at large should be anarcho-primitivist is insanely ableist (because without modern medicine and technology a lot of disabled people would either die or live painful lives). Anarcho-primitivists who just want to practice it individually are fine though.
at least it has some good points lol
Genuinely, fuck off fash. A broken clock is right twice a day. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna recommend it to anyone. Belongs in the trash like all the other fascist and reactionary shit.
