The Good, the Bad.

Why must you create these categories?

You want to craft a narrative, and push a view point. I think this is the general problem I have with your work, is that you tell the reader how they should think. You don't present the information and allow the reader to make their own conclusions.

Judgement has been cast! These are sinners, that must be burnt. Burn the heretics!

Finish the Ted K Archive first. Most of the texts you've uploaded there are totally broken.

P.S. Again, why have you included direct action attacks (smashing bank windows etc) in the BAD section, alongside Hitler etc?

Working towards the goal of destroying all computers is cruel in my view, considering for example the number of medical advances that have come about with the use of such technology and the number of potential advances in the future.

Blah blah blah. CLODO clearly understood the total domination that came with computers.., as for medical advances, pffft.

If we're talking about the same communique, they actually didn't claim to have smashed any windows, which is somewhat surprising, since they even went to the effort of bringing chains to lock doors with, but maybe they were worried about alarms going off.

The main reason that I view them as holding character vices is just that they promoted Ted K as a 'freedom lover', when Ted has argued for example that 'rebels should have as many children as they can' and that he hopes "the population explosion gets completely out of hand, because that will increase the likelihood that the system will collapse. Once the technological system is gone, population will decrease very rapidly, because without modern technology it will be impossible to produce and distribute enough food to supply such an enormous number of people."

On a side note, there's also texts in the roughly good category of groups, which discuss arsons of logging company offices and horse slaughterhouses.

All you're displaying is that prescribing morality categorisation to filing of texts is a ill conceived method for sorting.

Potentially so, I just figured if I was looking at a list of revolutionary groups espousing various political philosophies, and I didn't know who any of them were, my main motive for deciding which to pick first would be whether I was in a mood to read about groups who had a roughly positive effect on the world or a roughly negative one.

Do you have a themed sub-categorisation you'd suggest? Or would you sub-categorise them by date? Or leave them as one big list sorted alphabetically?

Maybe just Suggested vs Not Endorsed or Controversial. It's essentially the same but softer, and less prescriptive.

It's definitely tricky to categorise without passing judgement.

it's telling that you think YOU, and YOU alone, are the judge of what is GOOD and what is BAD, what is POSITIVE and what is NEGATIVE, for the whole wide world.

get yourself to church and leave us alone.

So, you get annoyed seeing discussion around and rational for projects you don't like, in a space you otherwise like spending time in. But, rather than channelling that annoyance into giving your best long arguments against the rational for the projects existence (which could sharpen your philosophy and critiquing abilities), instead you'd rather just give short insulting straw-mans.

All of that to me just reads as a petulant person trying to preserve the dogmatic aspects to a space they enjoy.

if you have anything good to say about ted k (an anarchist prisoner), you are literally hitler.

Ha! Nice touch

I was just joking about the callings for author/text removal after the A.Loyd debacle.
