Ted started off as a smart guy, but the MKULTRA abuse he experienced left him with a broken ideology.
Many parts of his manifesto are problematic, and I hope people don't think it's good theory.
Some excerpts:
Ted also has some jabs at reactionaries, but he's not a leftist for sure. There's better literature out there, from an actual leftist perspective that people could be reading instead.
I think he committed the error of giving a political attribute to a certain cathegory of people.
In those excerpt, if you switch "leftist" with "twitter social justice warrior" you can feel who really he is mad at.
Honestly it just feels like he projects a lot of stuff that overlaps with fascist ideology as well as having a horrid concept of actual leftism, then again Ted having a fried brain makes sense given he decided to just randomly send out bombs to harm workers.
So far score wise I feel the kid that did in Abe via the had the best consciousness not to turn into a reactionary bent on harming innocents and instead applied his suffering to a target that has materially contributed to that situation (Abe family and the moonies). i.e. Ted is an example of a mfer with no class consciousness deciding to "solve the problem".
