Ted Kaczynski

Apology to Women

In earlier years I have thought and written things about women of which I am now ashamed, and I want to offer an apology to all of the women on my legal team and to the female sex in general.

There were several reasons for my earlier resentment of women (and I present these only as causes, not as excuses): youthful machismo, my own lack of success with women, a fund of frustrated anger, and the fact that in youth I never had the opportunity to know ell any women who were worthy of much respect. (Those of my female relatives to whom I was closest weren't worth much, and the only two women I ever dated turned out to have serious defects of character.)

Over the years my resentment of women has faded. I've learned that there are many women who are far more worthy of respect than those I was close to early in life. I have my angry feelings sorted out so that I now have a clearer idea of the real sources of my anger. And as I've grown older I've come to appreciate more and more the characteristic virtues of women, such as warmth, gentleness, and sensitivity to others' feelings.

But I've come to feel especially ashamed of my earlier attitudes toward women since getting to know the women on my legal team. They are of stronger and better character than any of the few women whom I knew well earlier in my life, and I respect them highly both as human beings and in their professional capacity. I also like them very much personally.

So, once again, I want to apologize to them and to all women for my earlier attitudes.

T.J.Kaczynski, Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How

Kaczynski will be looked back as one of the individuals who tried to do what they could to hasten the demise of techno-industrialism. Years without the chance to interact with the natural world and wilderness that he tried to defend, walking only in brutal concrete yards and without any chance to escape to the wild, the existent collapse and horror we are living in today and which only a small elite are profiting from, serves to vindicate this incredible man and stands as it falls – a bewildering and tragic testament to #TedKaczynski’s vision, warning and courage. Vengeance for the comrade. For the end of the machine world.

Dark Nights

From La Nemesi:

It is with grief that we learn of the death–a few hours ago, on June 10–of Ted Kaczynski, an inmate in U.S. maximum security prisons since 1996. We publish some words from fellow anarchists.

More rational words will surely come out shortly. Now as anarchists we feel compelled to break the news of the death of revolutionary prisoner Ted Kaczynski. We mourn this passing and will add his name to the list of our revenge, continuing to weave the black thread of our paths of denial.
