In October 2020 he joined in signing a letter stating: “Given his astonishing success in his first term, we believe that Donald Trump is the candidate most likely to foster the promise and prosperity of America.”
Alright then.
The more I learn about his victims, the more I sympathize with Ted Kaczynski. Terrorist, sure. He just happened to have a valid point
shrug, i think he was right
Or maybe getting blown up did something to his brain.
edit: strange, they upvote when someone says Fetterman turned repub because of stroke brain damage, but downvote when I speculate he likes trump/epstein because of bomb brain damage. What’s the difference?
Kaczynski’s victims were not random.
This guy’s associations with epstein and tump came years after the bombing.
Right, but he was doing shitty things prior to being targeted. He was targeted because of his behavior.
Not really, read up on Kaczinsky’s motivations, see his manifesto. He was targeting symbols of the new techno-industrial system, what they did in their jobs, not based on their personal lives.
Not necessarily mutually exclusive
Oh he’s the one who recommended a grad student to Epstien because she was a “v[ery] small goodlooking blonde”. Apparently he also opposes women in the workforce.
I feel little sympathy for him
In the 1980s, Gelernter made seminal contributions to the field of parallel computation, specifically the tuple space coordination model, as embodied by the Linda programming system he and Nicholas Carriero designed (which he named for Linda Lovelace, the lead actress in the porn movie Deep Throat, mocking the naming of the programming language Ada in tribute to the scientist and first attributed computer programmer, Ada Lovelace).
Imagining the smug little chortle he must make every time he delivers that punchline…
He was an incel choad before they were things! A hipster incel choad, if you will.
A conservative Republican misogynist climate-denying creationist Jew was a client of Jeffery Epstein???
It boggles the mind.
You REALLY didn’t need to include the “Jew” part as if that’s as bad as the rest…
epstein was jewish and had tight connections with loads of influential jews. it’s not bad, just fits the pattern.
He was a Zionist and had tight connections with other Zionists including the Israeli government.
That’s NOT the same as Jewishness itself, no matter how much Zionists and antisemites (and combinations thereof) try to convince you otherwise.
He was also Jewish, sure, but that doesn’t have a causal link to being an abuser. Being a Zionist does.
Child mutilator then?
There’s always that guy.
Indeed
But
Israel and the IDF (shittiest band name ever, period) are making it really REALY hard not to do that.b
I’d say it would be extremely helpful for all Jews world wide if Israel would just stop murdering babies in the biggest genocide since WWII

Only if you consider anything they say to be true, which you shouldn’t.
Pretending that Israel is accurately representative of all Jews is itself an antisemitic trope, no matter how many Zionists in and outside of Israel subscribe to it, and we’d do well to not fall for the “some Jews think it’s true, so it must be” trap of Zionist Hasbara.
I’d say it would be extremely helpful for all Jews world wide if Israel would just stop murdering babies in the biggest genocide since WWII
ABSOLUTELY. Until then, though, it behooves us to believe nothing Hasbarists say and remember that there’s a lot of anti- or at least non-zionist Jews who don’t deserve to be lumped in with the genocidal maniacs and their fan club.
Saying Israel is evil isn’t antisemitism.
Blaming Jews for Israel’s sins is.
That’s a WAY more concise version of my main point, yeah 😁
Most Jewish people I know personally are also the biggest anti-zionists I know.
Are you jewish? (i promise good faith)
Nope, why?
I just wanted to thank you for sticking up for the diaspora like that. It is a really exhausting time to be jewish.
You’re very welcome! I hate to see you guys lumped in with the crazies like that…
I mean, ISIS and the taliban were/are pretty horrific, but that’s not an excuse to be shitty to Muslims. This really isn’t different enough to matter. They aren’t shit because they’re Jewish, they’re shit and happen to be Jewish.
No, they aren’t. It’s extremely easy to separate the actions of the Israeli state from the beliefs and moral worth of the Jewish people. A great way to start is by actually talking to Jews, you will find that many are incredibly disenfranchised by Israel’s actions. Sure, some support the IDF, but so do many American Christians, so you can’t exactly draw conclusions from that.
Yeah but it’s not. I only see the polls where most Israelis don’t support Netanyahu because they WANT MORE.
I don’t think Jews are a problem or the problem here, I do think Israel as a state is such a problems that it has corrupted most of its citizens, which unfortunately mostly are Jews.
That still wouldn’t justify including “Jew” in a list of otherwise entirely negative descriptors
deleted by creator
I think, if you swapped the word “Jew” with “Zionist”, your point might be clearer.
One of the other victims was Dr Charles Epstein, I’ve wondered for a while if he was some kind of relation.
Off-topic but related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Epstein (born 1915)
Victim is such a strong word. Target is more accurate.
Anyone else seeing an older, rounder Michael Cera?
I mean… we’ve gone out a few times. It’s pretty casual still. I wouldn’t say we are seeing each other.
Labels don’t matter, be happy
Man this just makes me womder what could have been. Could he have got bombs over to that island? Made everyone open them all at once around a dinner table?
Rest in Power, Uncle Ted
its kinda wierd looking at his manifesto now. Seemed pretty crazy at the time but a lot less so now.
Don’t celebrate that asshole just because a stopped clock happened to be right for one moment
Sometimes even a calculator can be a clock.
Sometimes it can be boobs.
I was more daydreaming about what may have been, i.e if he killed people who deserved it. I don’t cekebrste him because it’s illegal to celebrste terrorists and there’a probably lots more to his actions than I might know about.
I was around during the era of the bombings. I wasn’t personally affected or anything, but it was kinda scary to be a kid and think you might open the mail and die. If you were around for the D.C. Sniper, it was kinda like that except A LOT slower.
Oh, do you hate Luigi too?
This guy and Luigi are nothing alike. I like Luigi. I saw him in a pizza shop in Lubbock the day that CEO was killed.
He targeted logging ceo’s.
I appreciate the Lubbock reference
They just hate America
Considering where the US is headed at the moment …what’s not to hate?
There are a lot of good people in the US, no doubt, but, well, it seems like that doesn’t matter much anymore.
He went crazy. The difference between his academic writing and the manifesto is worlds apart.
He said some aweful shit, but props to his treatment of the Epstein class
Right when he could really make use of that right hand for stress relief, too.
