Question by MarkH: Why does the Unabomber sound like your typical right-wing parrot?
The Unabomber was left-wing? No. He was RIGHT-WING.
EXAMPLE FROM HIS MANIFESTO:
” Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong,
good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western
civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality..”
Words like “self-confidence,” “self-reliance,” “initiative”,
“enterprise,” “optimism,” etc. play little role in the liberal and
leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic,
pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone’s needs for them,
take care of them.”
“The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of
competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.”
“Modern leftist philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science,
objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally
relative.”
“If our society had no social problems at all, the leftists would
have to INVENT problems in order to provide themselves with an excuse
for making a fuss.”
This guy sounds like your typical right-wing nut. He attacks the left over and over again and never once mentions the right. The only two times he mentions conservatives is to call them fools for supporting tradtional values while supporting technology and for attacking big government regulation when big business is just as bad.
Other than that, all right-wing.
