Status Updates From The Philosophy of Ted Kaczy...

The discomforting truth is that “[n]onviolence works only when you have the police to protect you. In the absence of police protection, nonviolence is very nearly the equivalent to suicide.” No one really rejects all violence; rather, we have just outsourced its use to the police and the military.

Leftism cannot rebel against Modern Technology, because Leftism quite literally is Modern Technology. The powerlessness of submitting to oversocialization generates feelings of inferiority that must be projected into the hopes for a massive movement which everyone is forced to join (i.e., the universal adoption of Socialism, the universal rejection of Religion, the universal acceptance of 68 genders etc.)

...his references to “leftists” must not be misinterpreted as references to a literal set of human beings, let alone any one individual in particular. Rather, he chose to designate the leftist as a “psychological type” which could be reliably identified by a few recurring features, principally “feelings of inferiority” and “oversocialization.”

modern leftish philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analysing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs . . . Their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power

Kaczynski recognized that the System’s technical needs always will outcompete people’s subjective needs as early as the 1971 essay “Progress Versus Wilderness,” in which he questioned whether it is even possible to maintain technical and economic “progress” without worsening this conflict

Leftism is in the long run inconsistent with wild nature, with human freedom, and with the elimination of modern technology. Leftism is collectivist . . . [b]ut this implies management of nature and of human life by organized society and it requires advanced technology [and] sophisticated psychological techniques

against the possibility of consciously steering a society in a particular willed direction in the first chapter of Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How, titled “The Development of a Society can never be Subject to Rational Human Control.”

Kaczynski warned that multiculturalists were not the moral relativists they claimed to be. To an extent which perhaps even they themselves do not realize, their work serves the moralistic goal of destroying the last remnants of Western Morality in order to replace it with a new morality better suited to the technical functioning of the System

It is bizarre, for example, that the stereotypical oversocialized leftist professor will somehow think that receiving a PhD from an Ivy League institution and then lecturing for two hours per week at a six figure salary job at an R1 university is somehow the ultimate act of “revolutionary action” against the bloated industrial system upon which this figure is just a tiny financial parasite

Oversocialization is defined as the tendency to do exactly what society demands, despite claims to radical opposition to the System. It is curious, for example, that the main centres for institutionalized leftist thought are not the blue collar factories, rural farms, or minimum wage jobs populated by the exploited proletariat. Rather, leftist thought is a staple of major universities and Silicon Valley corporations
