This really isn't relevant, but Ted Kaczynski was a victim of the CIA's MK Ultra program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski#Harvard_College , https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205....

Is it really a surprise he went on to hate the government ?

It's an essay with a very memorable beginning too.

>“The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.”

Still not as nice as Nick Land's Meltdown:

>[[ ]] The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.

>For right-wing extremists, the appeal of Kaczynski’s works originates in their identification of Kaczynski’s narrative about the development of industrial civilization and the destruction of wilderness with their own narrative about what they perceive to be the replacement and disempowerment of white people.

Bull. Kaczynski makes a mockery of the left of his day in a way that has aged very well.

> FEELINGS OF INFERIORITY

10. By "feelings of inferiority" we mean not only inferiority feelings in the strict sense but a whole spectrum of related traits; low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, depressive tendencies, defeatism, guilt, self-hatred, etc. We argue that modern leftists tend to have some such feelings (possibly more or less repressed) and that these feelings are decisive in determining the direction of modern leftism.

11. When someone interprets as derogatory almost anything that is said about him (or about groups with whom he identifies) we conclude that he has inferiority feelings or low self-esteem. This tendency is pronounced among minority rights activists, whether or not they belong to the minority groups whose rights they defend. They are hypersensitive about the words used to designate minorities and about anything that is said concerning minorities. The terms "negro," "oriental," "handicapped" or "chick" for an African, an Asian, a disabled person or a woman originally had no derogatory connotation. "Broad" and "chick" were merely the feminine equivalents of "guy," "dude" or "fellow." The negative connotations have been attached to these terms by the activists themselves.

I think titles such as this do much damage to society by carving out separate 'us and them' spheres when in reality everyone generally has philosophical overlap with anyone else. We can disagree on the whole while finding agreement in part.

It all comes to a form of eco-fascism which has a romantic view of being one with nature because they believe it promotes their particular kind of human being over others. They fear civilization because the force multiplier that coordination brings with on top of technological improvements means the oppressed can eventually overcome their oppression even if not intentionally like how capitalist firms becoming more inclusive to grow their consumer demographic. The whole primitivist mystique rebukes this and so this attracts fascists of all kinds.

I think this begs the question. I am pretty sure Ted Cruz does not love the unibomber. Nor dinesh desousa nor any of the other right wing extremist boogeymen I’m told to fear.
