  Americans think everything that happens in their country is “global news.”

  Eh kind of. We read his manifesto in my reading club and there’s a lot of issues and psychosis there. But there are ideas there worth merit.

    I read it in highschool when it was released and thought it had some interesting ideas, but you know all the problems…then I read it as an adult and think he kinda was throwing off incel vibes.

    I vaguely remember hearing about the unibomber when I was only 9 or 10 in 95/96 sometime, and I never read it myself; this thread has me wondering what the jist of it was.

    If you take out all the incel, racist, and fascist shit.
    
    Or leave it in. You seem to like it just fine as is.
