This article is just agit prop trying to use the news peg of Kaczynsci's death to associate his ideas with The Guardian's political opponents like Musk and Carlson, to make them seem "dangerous," and justify some response to this new fictional danger. I'd insult the author and editors but kicking down at journalists only reinforces the spite that drives them to produce things like this.

The conceit of Kaczynsci and other rebels is that they think forming sound criticisms absolves them from the responsibility to prevail. If you want to change the world, maybe try making something it wants.

If you are frustrated because nobody wants to listen to you, maybe index on solving that problem instead of forcing people to listen to you with bizarre political acts and attacking prominent individuals so as to capture some of the reflected attention for your tedious opinions. While that advice is for journalists, it's perhaps also applicable to would-be immitators of Kaczynski as well.
