>>12999922
Ted deserves your attention. But be aware that after him you are going to despise every movement, left and right, that does not advocate for the collapse of the techno industrial complex.
To be truly anti-capitalist is to reject progress through indirect production and the resulting alienation. We are not here to tame capitalism but to end it. This means that marxists that dream about post scarcity are going to be our enemies. Every neocon and neoliberal too. If you are a technophile you support this complex and you are his enemy. He is a neo-ludite and that should not be used as an insult.

>>12999922
sure, he made an interesting contribution. his writings aren't complicated or difficult to understand, but he certainly had a knack for rhetoric, and a unique, cynical view of history. perhaps he is how rousseau may have ended up if he lived long enough to see full life cycle of the machine he helped to set in motion - the noble savage is dead, and the industrial revolution put his corpse through a woodchipper.

Not a waste of time. His manifesto is fairly brief. Does that mean I agree with his theories? No.

>>13000000

I liked his essay destroying anarcho-primitivism almost as much as ISAIF.

/pol/tards will attach themselves to literally anything and anybody who can give their retarded worldview an intellectual veneer (see: Jordan Peterson).
TED! is perfect for the job, for a number of reasons:
First, he rails a lot about "leftists" which is catnip for the incels.
Second, his neo-luddite views provide a simple-to-understand and plausible explanation for the typical /pol/tard's sense of alienation.
Third, he is a murderer. His lack of any sort of moral reasoning beyond the egoistical "what is a good society for me, and how do I achieve it?" is appealing to a crowd that explicitly rejects consideration for the 'feels' of others.
Fourth, and most importantly, TED!'s underlying perspective is mired in a deep sense of nihilism. He is misanthropic to the core. He openly attacks any chance of reform or betterment - anything less than a complete destruction of "The System" is futile. It's this reflection of 'blackpill' hopelessness that leaves the lumpen of /pol/ feeling like TED! is a great thinker whose prophetic word should be spread far and wide.
(The fact he is a Smart™ old white man also helps a ton)

>>12999922
Yes. Absolutely worth reading. His two books "Technological Slavery" (2010) and "Anti-Tech Revolution" (2016) are groundbreaking, and go far beyond any prior critics of technology (Mumford, Ellul, Postman etc.) in their comprehensive, lucid, and scientific appraisal of the world-situation, in particular the way societies evolve and the dynamics of revolutionary movements.

Whether you agree with him or not--even if you end up bitterly opposed to what he represents--he should be required reading to familiarize yourself with the anti-tech and anti-progress position.

Watching Butterfly and the ':3' fag have made me assured that nature is still currently at work, even within technology. The goal of the modern woman is to enslave, entrap, and ensnare. And clearly that is what is at work here.

Not only that, but she most likely enjoys it, stringing along this individual. Meanwhile he doesn't stop. And he is so persistent and dogged, I swear to god I must have seen her masturbating one time.

It's like any Darwinian struggle for sex, I am almost thinking of the picture of two piges trying to fuck or some horses mating, as is typical the female horse plays hard to get and tries to get away but the male horse is so dogged and persistent, so absolutely mind-numbingly deadset on fucking her, that he gets that horsedick in there eventually.

It reinvigorates me with a sense of hope in this post-industrial chaotic world

>>13001019
That's a misquote. I'm very familiar with Anti-Tech Revolution. The letter "of" in the second line should not be there. Notice how this dramatically changes the meaning. It's not a "process of inevitability" he is speaking of (which is nonsensical), but a process he lays out in detail over the course of dozens of pages backed up with hundreds of sources.

But also, the point is a silly and meaningless one. You can take any sentence from ANY book of highly intellectual social science theory and make it look bizarre if its completely taken out of context.

Attached here is the real quote from p. 58 of Anti-Tech Revolution

Good God, how desperate and insecure must you be to have to LIE about his writings in order to try and discredit him. Is your position really that weak???

>>13000511
not true. and besides, it's about how comprehensive and yet concise the critique is. In that respect, it's unparalleled.

>>13003969

Unironically everything in his manifesto was correct.

>>13012992

His conjecture on leftism is piss poor and wholly unrigorous. You agree with it because it is agreeable to you but it is not rationally supported ans it reduces complex social behaviour of a grouo to a single cause.

>>13017465
>eco-fascism
This one takes the Cake for me, someone extremely interested and fairly learned in ecology. Nothing could be more politically contradictory to an ecological worldview. At least it's an obvious joke, but it really besmirches radical ecological beliefs. It's not alienating like the neoliberal view of ecology, but it feeds into it. Just look at ASS man or Peterson when they point to Malthusian "ecological" sentiments to claim that environmentalists hate people. It only provides the powers that be an easy way to dismiss radical ecological political positions and market the Benthamian view as obligatory. "Eco"fashies are retarded, and so are Ted retards, both serve the same function. Try Paul Shepard, Coming home to the Pleistocene, instead of the ridiculous memes.

Kaczynski is Christ reborn.

"What is significant is that when you live in the woods, rather than just visiting them, the beauty becomes part of your life rather than something you just look at from the outside...

In living close to nature, one discovers that happiness does not consist in maximizing pleasure. It consists in tranquility."

-Ted Kaczynski

from his first book, "Technological Slavery" (2010), pp. 405-406.

>>13017597
>What's so retarded about ecofascism
It's just regular fascism with environmental concern. It's not ecological, the way fascism is structured and functions is not ecological. Call it fascist environmentalism and it will at least not be contradictory. Still retarded, as fascism is retarded. The ideology has absolutely nothing to do with ecology.

>>13018030
According to Mirriam-Webster Dictionary, Fascism is:

"a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

In order to have most of the above (severe economic and social regimentation, a centralized autocratic government) you have to have a high level of technology. Technology is fundamentally incapable of being predicted or controlled in the long term. It's use is dictated by powerful forces of natural selection among competing systems.

You may get nice looking parks and solar panels in the short term, but even these are not ecological as they disrupt wilderness, which is the most fundamental ecology as evolved over the course of millions of years. And even if you had nice ordered parks and great trash collecting and recycling and renewable energy etc., in the long term the wild biosphere would inevitably be fundamentally disrupted in ways that are impossible to predict or control.

>>13018030
Fascist governments do not at all work like the living, more-than-human world. I'm too high to bother explaining this now and I'm never never gonna come down.
>>13018404
Sure right on, but I was pointing to a deeper, fundamental animosity. You're still talking about environmentalism.

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

Dude, Jesus tried to save us by preaching all the lovey dovey stuff. He looked down from heaven over the course of 2000 years as the world-situation just got worse and worse, and was like, "crap, now I gotta gotta get real with these mofos."

Hello there everyone!!! This is Ted from U.S. Penitentiary ADX-Florence. Please stop using that mug shot of me. Look, I'd been through quite a lot, as you can imagine, right up to before they took that photo. And so I look, well, you'd look like a mess if you went through what I did. Anyway, then the dishonest media paraded that photo around everywhere to brainwash normies into thinking that's basically how I am--some crazy ugly freakish monster. For more information on the crazy media, and my detailed inside accounts on how the media operate, please read my unpublished book "Truth vs. Lies" or access my letters at the University of Michigan's Labadie collection archive. And from now on, please try to use a picture of me that more accurately represents how I look!
