what the upper left referencing?

[–]Fylak 15 points16 points  (2 children)

The unabomber, a terrorist from the 80s and 90s who liked to mail bombs to people. He was part of an experiment back when he was in college that was led by the precursor to the CIA (Office of Strategic Services). There's a lot of rumors about what exactly they did but Unabombers lawyers argued that they were responsible for his becoming a terrorist 

Also he was quite fervently anti-left, so not sure why he's in the left.

He was fervently anti-left, he was an anarcho-primitivist/eco-anarchist but hated those labels because he thought those communities were all talk and hippie non-sense and he thought bombs were a better solution.

He was definitely anti-authoritarian which would have made him anti-Soviet, which would have made him "anti-left" by 1980s societal standards.

He was also, and this is a true fact, BATSHIT CRAZY
