let's say people manage to overthrow the system. what type of life do you imagine after that? i've heard people even say that things like heating, air conditioning, and basic electricity would still be allowed. so would there be some technology? would you picture an agricultural society or completely hunter-gatherer? a harmonious blend of technology and nature?

What is there to disagree with?

"The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race"

I have to read Ted for a class I'm in and I'm wondering why he's such a meme on the right and if anyone has any critiques of his manifesto.
My main one is on his technological determinism. While I have long agreed that the biggest environmental factor explaining history is technological development, Ted completely ignores the genetic component and the Jew. He seems to think we live in an optimal technological society and the only way to improve it is to remove technology, whereas I have long recognized that the Jew uses technology to parasite off the white race and if the Jew were removed we could keep technology and society would be greatly improved.
Post thoughts

I posted this on pol but it archived after like 20 minutes, as is typical of that board (don't judge me for using it, I've been here for a long time as well. >>>/pol/249275598

I wanted to respond to a few responses I got over there. They were Landian faggotry and I know there's a lot of those on this board so I figure you guys will bite.

>Ted wasn't concerned with the Jew because the system encompasses so much more than the Jew. Honestly in the grand scheme of things from Ted's viewpoint, the Jew hardly even matters.
Thinking the G compenent of GxE doesn't matter is naive at best and retarded at worst. The gene pool of the ruling class absolutely does matter. The fact that he never even grapples with the JQ reveals Ted as someone who was wrong.

"Technocapital" and whatever this "machine" thing is is complete babble. People are ultimately the decision makes. Do I believe in freewill? No, but genetics absolutely matter. If the genetics of the ruling class are inferior then life could greatly benefit by removing them from the gene pool and replacing them with the proper rulers that make the correct, ethical decisions. Technology has the potential to free man and make him a god; it does not have to doom man to slavery.

>127. A technological advance that appears not to threaten freedom often turns out to threaten it very seriously later on. For example, consider motorized transport. A walking man formerly could go where he pleased, go at his own pace without observing any traffic regulations, and was independent of technological support-systems. When motor vehicles were introduced they appeared to increase man’s freedom. They took no freedom away from the walking man, no one had to have an automobile if he didn’t want one, and anyone who did choose to buy an automobile could travel much faster and farther than a walking man. But the introduction of motorized transport soon changed society in such a way as to restrict greatly man’s freedom of locomotion. When automobiles became numerous, it became necessary to regulate their use extensively. In a car, especially in densely populated areas, one cannot just go where one likes at one’s own pace one’s movement is governed by the flow of traffic and by various traffic laws. One is tied down by various obligations: license requirements, driver test, renewing registration, insurance, maintenance required for safety, monthly payments on purchase price. Moreover, the use of motorized transport is no longer optional. Since the introduction of motorized transport the arrangement of our cities has changed in such a way that the majority of people no longer live within walking distance of their place of employment, shopping areas and recreational opportunities, so that they HAVE TO depend on the automobile for transportation. Or else they must use public transportation, in which case they have even less control over their own movement than when driving a car. Even the walker’s freedom is now greatly restricted. In the city he continually has to stop to wait for traffic lights that are designed mainly to serve auto traffic. In the country, motor traffic makes it dangerous and unpleasant to walk along the highway. (Note this important point that we have just illustrated with the case of motorized transport: When a new item of technology is introduced as an option that an individual can accept or not as he chooses, it does not necessarily REMAIN optional. In many cases the new technology changes society in such a way that people eventually find themselves FORCED to use it.)

Allright then, have fun. I'll be reading Uncle Ted's work.

Did he BTFO existentialism?

Holy shit, based!

>Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that modern leftish philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power.

Is this a postmodernist takedown of postmodernism?

Those philosophies are what happen when individualism goes too far. The late-stage individualist realizes solidarity is necessary, but since he rejects nation, family and race he must invent an artificial measure of morality.

Guinea pigs save their own offspring first when they drown. Capitalism (and to certain extend marxism) managed to deprive humanity of their humanity over the decades.

I think your post is serious.

But if you think right-wing ideology is a selfish idea you couldn't be more wrong. Right-wing thinking always puts society above the individual.

Progressivism is a war against the nature of man(kind). It has its roots in the disgust of the self. It's an attempt to place oneself above others. It's hubristic and degenerate. it tries to divide society in more and more pieces, it wants every individual to become its own nation. it wants to create a multi-ethnic, pluralistic society, anti-authoritarian people made of measure.

On Ted's vocabulary as a child

>"On one occasion, when he was 11, he joined his mother, Dorothy O'Connell and another neighbor in a game of Scrabble. "Teddy came along and sat down and beat all three of us," O'Connell says. "His vocabulary at that age was so great he could beat three grown women.""

On Ted's favorite book as a child

>"A year or so later, the Kaczynskis took a vacation. Teddy had a favorite book. He knocked on Dorothy O'Connell's door with the book under his arm, and he gave it to her for safekeeping until he got back home. She put it out of harm's way, on top of her refrigerator. One day she happened to take it down and look at it. She was stunned. The book was called, "Romping through Mathematics, From Addition to Calculus.""

On Ted's use of the school library

>""Ted would use the school library for more intensive studies beyond the texts. There was a four-volume set on mathematics in my basement. Ted borrowed that." He took all of the hard courses, and he skipped at least one grade. Rippey gave him straight A's. [Teacher Robert F. Rippey] ranks Ted Kaczynski among his top four or five students in 50 years of teaching."

On Ted's visits to the local library in rural Montana

>"Ted also spent time at the Lincoln library, a small building with wood siding and a green tin roof. He sat in a front corner, where the newspapers were, and read. He also spent time in a back corner, where research books included an Encyclopedia of Associations, a Who's Who, and postal guides from everywhere."

On the FBI's link between Ted and Joseph Conrad

>"In Joseph Conrad's novel "The Secret Agent," a brilliant but mad professor abandons academia in disgust for the isolation of a tiny room, his "hermitage." There, clad in ragged, soiled clothes, he fashions a bomb used in an attempt to destroy an observatory derisively referred to as "that idol of science." [...] Federal authorities believe Theodore J. Kaczynski, the former mathematics professor who loved Conrad's works well enough to read them about a dozen times, may have drawn upon the 1907 novel. Even before identifying Kaczynski as a suspect in the Unabomber case, FBI agents noted the parallels between Conrad's theme of science as a false icon and the Unabomber's targeting of scientists and technological experts and his condemnation of technology in letters to news organizations."
