I like the part of Industrial Society where he spend the first 10 pages just bashing on liberals

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

The liberal that is holding back the left like the regime lapring acolytes?

Those who are most sensitive about "politically incorrect" terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any "oppressed" group but come from privileged strata of society.

Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the credit or blame for an individual’s ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is “inferior” it is not his fault, but society’s, because he has not been brought up properly.

I've said the same thing as the first paragraph here on lemmy and got buried for it. Always thought that most of the politically correct BS came from white busybodies.

You can take some solace in knowing that Ted Kaczynki agrees with you

So did MLK. See: Letter From a Birmingham Jail

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

I seriously want to clap every time I read it

An inactive majority will always be a bigger obstacle than a counter-radical minority when it comes to change. Any given social movement is usually supported by like 10% of the population fighting heavily from both extremes to shave even a little bit of the ambivalent 80% towards their cause

He wasn't drugged though....the professor had him "discuss/debate" with another "student" who was really a young prosecutor from Boston with the sole objective arguing fiercely against any perspective Ted presented, to fuck with his perception meter. But no gallons of acid for him.

So I commented above in response to Ted's MKULTURA fun...I bet he was arguing with a left leaning prosecutor who invalidated any perspective Ted had based off that quote...
