Juneteenth (June 19th) is not a "holiday celebrating when news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas." No. Just no. Y'all make it sound like network latency! Like we were playing Fortnite, and all the Black players were lagging.🤡

Forty years before Ted Kaczynski wrote his manifesto, Ellul more fully explored the same ideas.

The reasons Kaczynski has staying power, particularly in anarchist movements, aren't flattering: spectacle, violence, and his text is much shorter.
