>If we had never done anything violent and had submitted the present writings to a publisher, they probably would not have been accepted. If they had been been accepted and published, they probably would not have attracted many readers, because it’s more fun to watch the entertainment put out by the media than to read a sober essay. Even if these writings had had many readers, most of these readers would soon have forgotten what they had read as their minds were flooded by the mass of material to which the media expose them. In order to get our message before the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we’ve had to kill people.

Lol have you even read Ted? He wrote entire chapter on why revolution is more effective than gradual change, in fact that's point where he departs most from Ellul

Gonna start his manifesto today after watching The Net and reading about him.
Sounds very interesting to me after having volunteer travelled between homesteads doing farming, eating local meat and veggies, bit of primitive skills. Really makes you understand how simple and good life's supposed to be.

Why did he pretend that he was speaking on behalf of multiple people?

You can read the manifesto if you want his own explanation. There's a good argument to be made that that book wouldn't be as famous as it is if it weren't for the bombings.
Conversely the ideas are also directly brought into discredit by the bombings. And you can say, and Ted would say, that that's mere ad hominem, and you'd be right. But arguments don't hold sway in the real world based on their logical soundness alone. And that fact about reality is one that Ted discarded.
Also the guy was a damaged and hateful person. He wanted to lash out at the society that mistreated him.

Well the manifesto was sent out anonymously, so he might have been trying to protect his identity by alluding to the fact that it was written by multiple people.
But it also serves as a way to give more authority to his arguments. When reading the manifesto I continuously mentally replaced the word we with I. Whilst it's still a convincing read, there's a few value judgements in the manifesto that aren't well served by this mental excercise.
In the chapter about surrogate activities if I recall correctly, he concludes that even if people could find purpose and happiness in surrogate activities, "we consider it a demeaning way to live".
Replace we with I, and it sounds kinda pathetic.

How can you define what a loser is when you are a loser yourself? Can you name one thing you have accomplished or one truly inspiring ideal you have? Or do you cope for the fact you have no real identity or personality so you call people who are infinitely more times intelligent than you losers? I honestly want to see your fat ugly face, can you post it so I can make fun of you?

All very well, but why not bomb bits of the infrastructure of the system he hated e.g. Silicon Valley, more lobbyists than just that one timber industry guy, delivery/supply chains of major technological industries etc.? Would draw the same shock and awe to get his manifesto published, without (or less chance of) killing normies that would make the general public hate him, plus make it look like he was talking the talk at achieving his agenda rather than looking like he was lashing out randomly

Check out wwoofing in your country, there's many farms/communities/individuals that take volunteers - you work a few hours, get to learn and practice whatever it is they're doing and they give you food and accommodation. Obviously avoid big soulless commercial farms, look for the small places. Good way to find knowledgeable folks and breath fresh air. Don't know how it'll work out at the moment with the whole Coronavirus limitations wherever you are, but good luck.
