Despite appearances to the contrary I’m not a Kaczynski fan as such 😅

Description

A four-panel comic titled “Talking Dog in a Banana Costume”. In the first panel, the title is displayed in bold pink and yellow letters. The second panel shows a fluffy brown dog wearing a yellow banana costume, happily barking “Woof! Hello!” as a man gestures excitedly in the background saying, “Ha! Say something else!” In the third panel, the dog assertively barks, “Bark! History will vindicate Ted Kaczynski!” The fourth panel shows the man scolding the dog, saying, “Bad dog! Stop defending the Unabomber!” The comic’s style is colorful and cartoonish, with bold outlines and expressive characters.

    I don’t think you’re really supposed to side with the Unibomber. But, hey, idk, maybe the author is also a white supremacist.

      Or maybe it’s just a stupid comic where the author thought of some random bad shit for the dog to say but didn’t want to go with Hitler

          That article is straight dog shit. The author is basically saying that Ted Kaczynski is the stylistic precursor to a particular brand of white nationalist terrorism because he 1) killed people and 2) had a manifesto. That’s it. The article even states:

          Effectively, Tarrant followed Kaczynski’s eco-terrorism but reinterpreted it to employ white supremacy and Islamophobia.

          Brenton Tarrant was the Christ Church Shooter. He hated non-whites and Muslims. Saying he “followed [Kaczynski’s] eco-terrorism but reinterpreted it to employ white supremacy” is, at best, misleading, and at worst a bald-faced lie. Tarrant had virtually no ideological connection with Kaczynski. He described himself as an eco-facsist because he was a dimwitted 4chan kid who blamed overpopulation on Muslims. For all of his flaws, Kaczynski was an incredibly intelligent and well-educated anarchist and would have despised Tarrant. He didn’t “reinterpret ecoterrorism as white nationalism.” He just labeled himself something he thought sounded cool without understanding it.
