maybe the author is also a white supremacist.
What does white supremacism have to do with Ted Kaczynski?
That article is straight dog shit. The author is basically saying that Ted Kaczynski is the stylistic precursor to a particular brand of white nationalist terrorism because he 1) killed people and 2) had a manifesto. That’s it. The article even states:
Effectively, Tarrant followed Kaczynski’s eco-terrorism but reinterpreted it to employ white supremacy and Islamophobia.
Brenton Tarrant was the Christ Church Shooter. He hated non-whites and Muslims. Saying he “followed [Kaczynski’s] eco-terrorism but reinterpreted it to employ white supremacy” is, at best, misleading, and at worst a bald-faced lie. Tarrant had virtually no ideological connection with Kaczynski. He described himself as an eco-facsist because he was a dimwitted 4chan kid who blamed overpopulation on Muslims. For all of his flaws, Kaczynski was an incredibly intelligent and well-educated anarchist and would have despised Tarrant. He didn’t “reinterpret ecoterrorism as white nationalism.” He just labeled himself something he thought sounded cool without understanding it.
