Ted Kaczynski would've been much more successful if he hadn't killed anyone.
>tenured university professor
>excellent intellect
>his writings, despite being limited, are widely read by people who are dissatisfied with modern society
>despite his success, no significant anti-tech movements have emerged

Kaczynski could've spent the last 30-40 years expanding upon his work and gaining public traction. Instead, he has relegated himself to a fringe movement.
>but Jacques Ellul and other authors wrote about the same issues before Kaczynski and they never gained his level of notoriety
Whilst true, I don't think anyone has ever articulated the problems with technological society as well as Kaczynski. Ellul, whilst insightful, is nowhere near as methodical in the delivery of his arguments. Kaczynski articulates himself better on this subject than pretty much anyone else I've read. It's a shame that he decided to use criminality as his means of spreading his message.

Tell me you've never read Kaczynski without telling me you've never read Kaczynski.

>kaczynski was a faggot who had dreams of being a woman.
He said this one time when he was like 16. There's no evidence he was ever a homosexual or engaged in homosexual activity. Your false tough guy cope is stunting your growth.
