this.

but let's step back and just think of the ideas he expressed. it's the ideas that matter, not the person. the ideas describe real THINGS that are happening in the world. things that affect all of us. if the ideas are correct, then they will inevitably gain more and more traction until they either manifest in the form of an anti-tech vanguard revolution that he advocated, or the system will evolve in the ways he predicted (unless it collapses). So whether or not he is popular personally is irrelevant. whether his ideas gain popularity I think is inevitable because the things he described were accurate. I also think it is inevitable that we see a massive crackdown in censorship and repression of his ideas and similar anti-tech ideas as modern society attempts to completely suppress any antagonism towards the technological society itself.

We are already seeing the rise of uncompromisingly anti-tech organizations that agree with the basic premises Kaczynski laid out. Things such as Anti-Tech Collective and Anti-Tech Quarterly, and Anti-Tech Resistance in Europe (www.antitechresistence.com) or Wilderness Front in America (www.wildernessfront.com). So yes, I think he is becoming more popular, but as with every truly radical and revolutionary movement, the ideas will never become "mainstream". The Bolsheviks in Russia for example never reached the size of more than a few thousand members, yet they ended up controlling more than 100 million people. They were always ostracized and were always a despised and repressed minoriuty. A similar thing is likely with people who agree with Kaczynski. They will be despized and feared and hated until either the system collapses naturally, they are repressed and the system rushed to its logical conclusion of control over all aspects of the living earth, or they will knock out critical infrastructure or unleash a series of pandemics or other disruptions that the system collapses--in other words, they win. But they win not buy controlling society like the Bolsheviks attempted, but in collapsing it.

You can run, but you can't hide (from the industrial system). (and you can't run for long either).

"Societies of the past and present are just complex systems composed of people and technology. The theory of “normal accidents”
suggests that complex technological systems regularly give way to failure. So collapse may be a normal phenomenon for civilisations, regardless of their size and complexity. We may be more technologically advanced now. But this gives little ground to
believe that we are immune to the threats that undid our ancestors. Our newfound technological abilities even bring new,
unprecedented challenges to the mix. And while our scale may now be global, collapse appears to happen to both sprawling
empires and fledgling kingdoms alike. There is no reason to believe that greater size is armour against societal dissolution. Our
tightly-coupled, globalized system is, if anything, more likely to make crisis spread."

Even the scientific literature is starting to seriously consider collapse, and show how easy it would be for our complex and tightly-coupled industrial system to collapse. They are even coming around to hunter-gatherers being a possible future long term, and a possibility for a large part of the population in the short-term.

Kaczynski is being proven right every passing day.

You're seriously behind the times, and you're just ignorant. Quite apart from media propaganda and timid and conformist academic denouncements, Kaczynski's work is unironically the most important stuff one can read now. Also, quite removed from empty claims of "unoriginality," the works are highly original and groundbreaking.

this. the two most important thinkers of the last few centuries.

Ted Kaczynski. Just read his bio. Total Mensch.

He's published two books while inside the most isolated prison in the world, and they are being well reviewed.

>>13229546
Kaczynski. He certainly can be considered an extreme eco-fascist. he advocates for an extremely disciplined movement of anti-tech revolutionaries.

>>13205732
just look at all those criminals...

>>13224274
lol. totally this.

>>13207200
this. to try and prevent this shit show from ever happening again.

>>13206112
"Anti-Tech Revolution"
and
"Technological Slavery"

>>13204372
Yeah. But Kaczynski's predictions were even more accurate, detailed, and precise.

Will amazon censor this book? Like, the leftist trend of big corporations is obvious, so if there was to be censorship, i expected "holocaust denier" stuff. but what about this? is the leftist/corporate establishment less committed to stopping books that are controversial, but not overtly far-right? or am i overthinking this? will they just say "muh, supporting terrorism." or some other lie and censor it anyway?

>I don't want to let this evil continue but I don't want to waste my life pissing in the wind either.

What are you doing about it? Are you organizing for action? Are you taking any practical steps?

If not, then stopping "this evil" really isn't that important to you. Which is to say, you probably don't really care at all...

>>13151019
lol. Imaging if someone somehow hacked his list and included Kaczynski's "Anti-Tech Revolution" or "Technological Slavery" in it. That would be fantastic!
