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.

Blowing people up isn’t cool, but pursuing a primitive lifestyle? Gotta say, that’s pretty cool.
Dude’s paper is worth a skim, if only to better understand villains in a narrative. He has some legitimate grievances. He makes some interesting points. He then brutally murdered a bunch of powerless academics and random middle-class citizens for no discernible purpose.
For comparison, Osama bin Laden killed a shitload of people, and arguably attained quite a few of his goals. Various assassins throughout recent history have shaped the future within their lifetimes - sometimes as intended, like the murder of Martin Luther King Jr., sometimes super duper not, like the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Teddy boy pointed high up the chain, said his problems were systemic, and punched some rando standing nearby.
It was a giant hostage situation, to force papers to publish his manifesto so people would read it. That’s definitely a discernible purpose. Not a justified purpose, but certainly discernible.
The Black Hand achieved its goals, the creation of a “Greater Serbia” from the corpse of the Austria-Hungarian Empire.
They just ended up calling the state Yugoslavia instead.
And, okay, yeah, starting WW1 wasn’t the PRECISE goal but they were trying to start a war that led to collapse, cut them some slack, jeez.
Good lord this is a lazy comic. Like, nice artwork and all, but all that just to be an exceptionally obvious mouth piece for an author opinion? Damn.
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
maybe the author is also a white supremacist.
What does white supremacism have to do with Ted Kaczynski?
