Well you can always try the other kind of direct action.

It's pretty lonely, though.

good point, lack of tedposting.
I used to be more aware of what surrogate activities are and notice more when I am engaged in them. Not to necessarily avoid them but to just kind of make a mental note "this is a surrogate activity".

/lit/ is definitely a surrogate activity.

>Technological development and scientific progress are the only things that matter
I've met people who truly believe this. Everytime they have been sad depressed losers who think they are on a crusade to save people while showing open contempt for humanity. There is so much more to life than just that. :)

>My motive for doing what I am going to do is simply personal revenge. I do not expect to accomplish anything by it. Of course, if my crime (and my reasons for committing it) gets any public attention, it may help to stimulate public interest in the technology question and thereby improve the chances of stopping technology it is too late; but on the other hand most people will probably be repelled by my crime, and the opponents of freedom may use it as a weapon to support their arguments for control over human behavior. I have no way of knowing whether my action will do more good than harm. I certainly don't claim to be an altruist or to be acting for the 'good' (whatever that is) of the human race. I act merely from a desire for revenge. Of course, I would like to get revenge on the whole scientific and bureaucratic establishment, not to mention communists and others who threaten freedom, but, that being impossible, I have to content myself with just a little revenge.

>These days it is fashionable to ascribe sick-sounding motivations (in may cases correctly, I admit) to persons who commit antisocial acts. Perhaps some people will deny that I am motivated by a hatred for what is happening to freedom. However, I think I know myself pretty well and I think they are wrong.

>ITT: Signs that the poster you're arguing with is fucking based.
>I'll start: They take this guy and his ideas seriously.

>In order to get our message before
the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we’ve had to kill people
God damn. That line hit me like a truck.
Pretty good ngl

>Bougie professor
Yeah he was really scaring the establishment.
This is the one anarchist they REALLY fear.

What the fuck, Tedbros? I thought he was just a meme here but he's totally right.

>essays on how the left is the moralist dogma desinged to justify the metaphysical and hermeneutical dissolution of human ontology; basically feminism and queer theory being the moral justification to turn us human as the most profitable field of resources and the exemplar of consoomer for the technocapital singularity

There is a successful model for getting such work into the mass market, but it's costly.
