Had Kaczynski not conducted his campaign of bombings he would have had no leverage to get the Washington Post to publish his manifesto.

I re-skimmed the manifesto earlier today. It's not uninteresting, but I don't think it's the sort of thing which can be considered or appreciated outside the context of his violent acts. For one, no one would have read it if Kacynzski had been a nonviolent academic.

As for bitterness and anger, well, here's a quote I pulled somewhat randomly from the text.

"We have no illusions about the feasibility of creating a new, ideal form of society. Our goal is only to destroy the existing form of society."

very interesting, essentially riding the coattails of the notoriety in derangement, what a concept.
