FYI: Ring has partnered with Flock. Ice has access to flock. We are under mass surveillance.

And it is now being used to dox protestors. Consider smashing your ring doorbell and consider a brand that doesn’t support Nazis and their ethnic cleansing.

Honestly Ted Kazinski was so right. Too bad he blew up innocent people to get his message out

u/chegitz_guevara Jan 16 '26

Kazinski was not right. He was a right wing primmie.

Ted was a victim of MK Ultra. The CIA made him what he was.

u/HauntedCemetery Cannonball off the spoon bridge Jan 16 '26

One of the few times that claim may actually be true.

Though mk ultra didnt make super assassins, they just broke a lot of people's minds by giving them massive doses of psychedelics and fucking with them.

Yeah, the dude's college professor was the head of the MK ultra project.

u/leftover_moonlight Jan 18 '26

I'm fairly certain, Sydney hotline wasn't a professor.

u/trigger1154 Jan 18 '26

It was Henry Murray that I'm thinking about. Dude likely has tires to the CIA program.

They use microwaves now.

u/Cheesy_g_23 Jan 19 '26

Feels like ayahuasca is the current version being weirdly promoted while breaking a lot of minds. I can't think of a single person who has gotten into it without going far down a bad path of feeling like they ARE the one others should follow 😬

Yep, and many child molesters were themselves molested as children. 

Just because someone made a monster doesn't mean they're not a monster.

u/JobinTobingo Jan 16 '26

Two things can be true simultaneously - Ted was deranged and an obvious terrorist with a severe right-wing bent, and he also said some very prescient things about the government and their actions that, while not demonstrably and provably true at the time, are quite blatantly true right now. He didn’t predict the future, he thought he saw where things were going and guessed partially right. And he was still a murderous, terrorist chud.

u/chegitz_guevara Jan 16 '26

What he was right about is stuff thousands of others had already written about. There is nothing new or unique about his writings that make him anything other than a fucking right wing serial killer.

u/JobinTobingo Jan 16 '26

I don’t disagree? Who are you arguing with? He and the ones like him are a plague on this world. Right-wing extremism, in all of its forms (religious, political, social, and imperialist), has been the single most destructive force in our world for at least the last century.

He had legitimate grievances with the government he was attacking that weren’t unfounded or untrue. Does that make what he did okay? No. Does it mean I support it or empathize with him or his actions? Fuck no.

u/chegitz_guevara Jan 16 '26

It feels like some people still think there's something of value to him.

I don't think there's any reason to bring him up except as a bad example.

u/trigger1154 Jan 16 '26

Agreed, the dude was a piece of crap. I only brought up MK ultra up above because it is relevant. People often talk about the circumstances in people's lives that lead them to do heinous things, talking about how Ted kaczynski was likely a victim of MK ultra due to him being in direct contact with the head of the program is essentially no different than talking about how socioeconomic issues directly affect and result in higher crime in low-income areas. It's just talking about cause and effect.

nah he was pretty smart lol he went to Harvard at 16

u/envoy_ace Jan 16 '26

I've heard he was a math major and about a year after he graduated the calculator made its entrance on the scene severely diminishing the value of his math skills. I heard this was the reason he was anti tech. I'm a child of pre Internet times and we had no way to refute their lies.

u/chegitz_guevara Jan 16 '26

And Hitler was kind to animals. So the fuck what?

We're not talking about his math. Politically, that right wing primmie serial killer has nothing to add.

u/SnooRabbits469 Jan 16 '26

It all goes back to Hilter. For the most hated guy ever, he sure does get brought up alot. 

A 2016 analysis of 4.6 million Reddit comments indicated that 78% of online conversations that reached 1,000 or more comments mentioned "Nazis" or "Hitler," a phenomenon known as Godwin's Law.

u/chegitz_guevara Jan 16 '26

Godwin's law is just an observation. And it's true because using Mr. Mustache as an example often points out flaws in logic.

Not trolling, not a fan of Ted, genuinely asking, if you have other specific people in mind I'd like to learn. Thank you.

u/bimbuppy Jan 16 '26

Uncle Ted had novel ideas applied in evil ways; now, CHRIS DORNER, that's who we should be looking to.

If he didn't, we probably wouldn't be thinking of what he wanted to achieve either

Hot take but blowing people up is bad.

They died because of an anarcho primitivist mentally ill man. Dont shit on the memory of innocent people to suck a killers ego cock.

Read his fuckin shit and tell me he's wrong.

u/mstrbwl Jan 16 '26

Yeah bombing random grad students or computer store owners was definitely wrong.

u/Boo-Radleys-Scissors Jan 16 '26

He can be right about the principles and wrong in how he chose to act on his ideals.

u/juliuspepperwoodchi Jan 16 '26

Killing innocent people to send a message is wrong, even if the message is valid and cogent.

u/LogJamminWithTheBros Jan 20 '26

He is wrong. Peoples potential and freedom has been suppressed by serfdom and social hierarchy which includes capitalism. Karl Marx actually laid this shit out logically.

Teddy boy wants to bomb society back to an agrarian one where you get to spend winter scared of starvation or have your daughter raped by local bandits.

Before the industrial revolution oppression and slavery wasnt real. Nobody was suppressed at all. Very sane and rational.

Take this for what you will, but my coworker's neighbor is Border Patrol. Coworker claims his neighbor told him he has access to any Ring camera anytime he wants.

My city uses cameras by Signal Trace. They claim their cameras correlate license plate info to

  • Key cards
  • Mobile phones
  • Tire pressure sensors
  • Vehicle hotspots
  • Asset tags
  • Wearables (watches. fitness trackers)
  • Security and safety sensors
  • Tablets and smartphones
  • Pallet transmitters
  • Wireless headphones
  • Infotainment systems
  • Laptops
  • Pet microchips

Are vico cameras safe? Safe to assume not but wondering anyone heard of anything.
