What a coincidence - I just finished the Manhunt: Unabomber TV series. It’s well made, reminded me of Mindhunter. And very sympathetic towards Ted Kaczynski actually. Highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it.

    I am staunchly against randomly murdering people with package bombs. But they put that poor man through hell with the MK Ultra stuff.

    The big monsters that run our world turned a brilliant mind into a little monster. A massive tragedy from every angle

    Do you know what they actually did with Ted in MKULTRA? It wasn't drugs in his case.

    He was the isolation subject, no? Pretty much made the guy a patsy to get him socially exiled from his college campus while they ran him through the program?

    No they set him up with a prosecutor out of Boston that Ted thought was another student. The prosecutor's job was to argue against any position that kaczynski took... Completely undermining his internal Tom Tom

    Debating

    Ah sorry for the tease lol it was free on Prime yesterday but the deadline JUST passed. Had to binge watch it quick over the last 2 days. But I’ve seen it before on Netflix too, so I’m sure it’ll get rotated to another platform at some point.
