Ted Kaczynski

The Unabomber was locked up for life.

That said, I understand that he is proselytizing large numbers of people from his jail cell.

What is the point of allowing him to continue to harm society?

From what I can tell having read the article, the matter may have to do with, in part, a number of these offshoots appear to be located outside the U.S. and their intent seems to be aimed more at other nations.

Apart from this, Kaczynski has the right to speak, it would fall first upon prison officials to determine whether sanctioning against him (Kaczynski) should be brought.

Keep in mind, as long as the information about Kaczynski and his words are available for public access through the internet and elsewhere, people who want to follow him and/or his ideas and actions will do so. The government as of yet has not seen fit to close it down.

LOL have anyone of you had read any of Kaczynski writings?

He is hardly a danger of collecting a large following at least in my opinion.

The words that seems to fit the man is a complete social misfit.

His rants/ramblings can hardly be classified as charismatic or alluring to any sizable audience.

more and more people have been having Kaczynski Moments. Books and webzines with names like Against Civilization, FeralCulture, Unsettling America, and the Ludd-Kaczynski Institute of Technology have been spreading versions of his message across social-media forums from Reddit to Facebook for at least a decade, some attracting more than 100,000 followers.

In the larger world, where no respectable person would praise Kaczynski without denouncing his crimes, little Kaczynski Moments have been popping up in the most unexpected places — the Fox News website, for example, which ran a piece by Keith Ablow called “Was the Unabomber Correct?” in 2013. After summarizing some of Kaczynski’s dark predictions about the steady erosion of individual autonomy in a world where the tools and systems that create prosperity are too complex for any normal person to understand, Ablow — Fox’s “expert on psychiatry” — came to the conclusion that Kaczynski was “precisely correct in many of his ideas” and even something of a prophet. “Watching the development of Facebook heighten the narcissism of tens of millions of people, turning them into mini reality-TV versions of themselves,” he wrote. “I would bet he knows, with even more certainty, that he was onto something.”

An eight-part docudrama called Manhunt: The Unabomber was a hit when it premiered on the Discovery Channel in 2017 and a “super hit” when Netflix rereleased it last summer, says Elliott Halpern, the producer Netflix commissioned to make another film focusing on Kaczynski’s “ideas and legacy.” “Obviously,” Halpern says, “he predicted a lot of stuff.”

And wouldn’t you know it, Kaczynski’s papers have become one of the most popular attractions at the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection, an archive of original documents from movements of “social unrest.” Kaczynski’s archivist, Julie Herrada, couldn’t say much about the people who visit — the archive has a policy against characterizing its clientele — but she did offer a word in their defense. “Nobody seems crazy.”
