    i was thinking the same way as the Unabomber manifesto even before i read it, and then i became more interested in anarchism and found that manifesto. technology can be bad if it is monopolized by big tech companies, and its uncontrolled use is bad for the environment.

            i’m not a fan of him personally, i just like his text. the question is all fav text/blog/writings, not fav person. i know the Unabomber manifesto doesn’t represent anarchism totally but the points inside similar to anarchist principal imo.

              Its an insanely problematic text with some good points. There are actual anarchist writings that take the few good ideas Ted had and ditches all the problematic stuff. Anyone who says the Unabomber Manifesto is there favorite or similar is a huge red flag. It should not be compared to anarchist ideology. This is not a separate the art from the artist situation because Ted’s shittiness is baked deep into the art itself. I also caution against anarcho-primitivist writings and ideology (the closest anarchist ideology to the Unabomber’s) because those that believe that society at large should be anarcho-primitivist is insanely ableist (because without modern medicine and technology a lot of disabled people would either die or live painful lives). Anarcho-primitivists who just want to practice it individually are fine though.
