No one's perfect. A rightwinger who broke from the partisanship.
Like he understood a piece of this "over socialization" thing, but people aren't revolting against the minions of Epstein because collectivism has been shot in the head and we all live online Matrix-like. We're UNDER socialized.

Right about a lot of things though. Killing people a publicity stunt? Whatever man.

It‘s been a while since I‘ve read ISAIF but I don‘t know why you listed three objectively correct statements to disavow it.

Well that's the problem, it's just halfbaked opinions strung together with some gratuitious psychologizing of leftists, which is odd considering that right-wing libertarians are at least as threatening to his primitivist views as leftists are. He doesn't give us any sort of theory of man or society that would explain why he thinks anything beyond survival is cope and he doesn't engage with any other thinkers. You can tell it was written by a STEMoid. The entire manifesto is simply:
>I think X. Here are many things that follow from X. Here are some other opinions that have nothing to do with X.
I've seen posts here that were more intelligent and yet there's this mythology that this guy who couldn't write, couldn't think, and could barely even make a pipebomb was some sort of Gigabrain.

True true.
Why I advocate direct democracy all the time. Minds like this would be good to listen to, but balance out with the more rational and the more poetic minds of the community.

it doesn't take much intelligence to understand that in a world where survival is an uncertain necessity every action you take is immediately important, and therefore meaningful. when these actions become unnecessary and therefore unimportant, basic biologically conditioned meaning falls away also. where Kaczynski is mistaken is in assuming that civilisation does not (at least in theory) offer higher forms of meaning and satisfaction. it does. and it also enables the existence of countless millions of unfit people who would die basically instantly in an anarcho-primitivist world.
kaczynski's thinking on this issue is not flawed, the only thing he is missing are certain valuable starting premises the absence of which causes him to reach the conclusion that anarcho-primitivism is the path forward.
