The media is really gonna rerget bring this up lol

Whatever that effect thing is... Millions of people across the world gonna be readong ol Uncle Ted's ramblings which are aging quite well unlike the corporatist trash raygoon and politicians shilled for the last 40 years
- I've also seen them try to smear him as an elite because he went to a school that they spelled out cost 40,000 a year.
  
  All that tells me is that he was on track to shut up and claim a privileged position, but destroyed that to send a message of conscience.

  Man the owners hate him. I hope they continue to overplay their hand on that.
  
  And he is from affluent Maryland family.
  
  Good for him... Still a chad jaja
  
  We don't pick our heros, they come as they are
  
  He clearly sees the same thing rest of workers see.
  
  Dude is literally batman, just without the dead parents. May he walk free. So hope he is smart and shuts up and lawyer up.
- Streisand effect
- yeah I remeber in the 90's thinking he was a nutter and I forgot about it in the early aughts but when someone brought it up in the teens I reread and was like. holy crap. Im a doomer type and I will often say its just were the math takes me. He was a mathemetician and kinda the original doomer.
Well so did I
- Yeah with a bit of editing it would have mass appeal
  
  We really need to get someone to edit down Marx's writings into TikTok brainrot format.
  
  This is easily something that would appear in subs or communities. Antiwork, workreform, boringdystopia, collapse, latestagecapitalism… I’d be surprised if there weren’t existing multiple posts mirroring what he wrote, minus any Unabomber references.
  
  That book really could stand to have had a good editor.
He is super cute
- i do want to know who would down vote you on this... i aint even gay but bro is a total chad and the ladies on tiktok agree haha
For anyone that hasn't read it: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/national/unabom-manifesto-1.html
lost a star for writing "You can’t have your cake and eat it too," in the wrong order
- Which way did he write it?
  
  In case anyone doesn't know, "can't eat your cake and have it too" is the correct order because once you eat it it's gone and you can't have it.
  
  It works both ways.
Interesting if only because this suspect being touted on social media as being the shooter is giving off Uni-bubba vibes
Police are likely combing through social media accounts belonging to Mangione.

I wonder what his Lemmy username is.
- They have a GitHub

  I couldn't access his GitHub profile yet, but I wonder if his GitHub Gist have something... I dunno... Maybe a manifesto hidden within the code snippet (through steganography or ciphered message).
Pretty darn Fair rating actually
