You got it wrong.

If Ted waited for the internet, I think he would have been fairly popular.

>> No.12747260

>>12747249
yeah, it's not like he said anything we can't observe ourselves now. he was right about a lot, i think, but the bombs basically erased all his thought and made him into the guy that mails people bombs instead of the technobabble doomsayer he could've been. incredible misstep imo

>> No.12747299

>>12747260
Literally none of us in this thread would have read his ideas if he hadn't bombed people and you know it.

>no see all he needed to do was wait until academics read his ideas on how they're over-socialized control freaks ruining the world because of their inferiority complexes and wait until they impartially decided they couldn't refute his ideas and brought them to the mainstream

>>12747249
I would imagine there are many insightful manifestos floating around the internet that none of us will ever read.

>>12747299
No, I don't know it and neither do you. If the only way to get people to read your shit is to blow them up, it's probably not worth reading.

You gotta think back to when he did it, book readership was a declining fad, and still is. The only way information reached people was the television which by all rights had enslaved and homogenized the populace (just talk to a boomer). This was intensely frustrating not only to Ted but many other radical thinkers at the time.

The bombings were certainly stupid, and did nothing for his revolution. They did get attention though, now his work is immortalized although I believe he would have succeeded without it.

>>12747299
Maybe, maybe not. If a word salad idiot like Jordan Peterson can get the following that he did, I think Ted would have been fine.

>muh just world
you're not impartially evaluating the spread of ideas as a function of their truth. you're just desperately trying to rationalize why what he did was irrational because you can't handle the idea that rational behavior may have nothing to do with your preferences

It doesn't change the fact that if you show this to an average wagie in our degenerate world, many would latch on to it as a desperate way out to escape their meaningless dopamine treadmill,

Just like Peterson promises success in a broken system Ted provides a workable alternative goal for living than the career life cycle.

There's like three threads about Uncle Ted on the catalog, might as well make a general

>> No.12747387

>>12747353
How are the wagies seeing his many pages of autistically worded ideas? Social media where he'd probably get censored and/or mass downvoted by people he hit too close to home? Revolutionary youtube videos?

>> No.12747398

>>12747387
He would probably own some libshits epic Ben Shapiro style in a youtube video and become the anprim internet daddy for millions of NEETs looking for a cause.

>> No.12747405

Has anyone here actually tried writing a letter to Ted? Think he'd respond to a non-American? Would he even be allowed to?

>> No.12747466

>>12747398
Being smart and capable of carefully expressing ideas in print doesn't mean he's charismatic enough to own the libshits. I dunno if it's true but I heard he was a bad lecturer.

I ultimately don't think the average normalfag would accept his ideas if they had no idea where they came from. Especially since he's insulting so many of them. I even think only the past few years when the people he described went full retard would a normalfag he wasn't targeting accept such a negative view of other people.

At most they take the power process stuff and view it as some kind of self help philosophy.

i've considered it but i'm not sure it's worth being put on a list for the rest of your life, especially considering the chance of a response is low
