So you think you are a worthless NEET? Let's see what uncle Ted has to say:
>The people whose behavior is fairly well under the control of the system are those of the type that might be called “bourgeois.” But there are growing numbers of people who in one way or another are rebels against the system: welfare leeches, youth gangs, cultists, satanists, Nazis, radical environmentalists, militia-men, etc.NEETs are rebelling against the system! We are part of the rebellion! Ted is based!!!

What if capitalist hegemon starts anti-terrorist operation in your shitty forest? Are you going to fight them with sticks or where do you draw the line on technology?
>>5393How technology is utilized socially is absolutely guided by ideology.
>>5397The "system" is guided by the accumulation of surplus value. Lenin's endorsement of a state machine was less an endorsement and more of the historical inheritance of what already existed in the Russia Empire.
>as soon as brain implants etcDo these serve to reduce the intensity of work by increasing productivity? What is the social utility provided? You greatly overestimate what drives technological application in capitalism. Just because some silicon valley mavericks and Muskrat fantasize a cyperpunk dystopia, doesn't mean they will get it. Why is a brain chip needed when social control today is entirely autonomous already?
>>5324I like nature and technology.
I like immortality only if God gives me superpowers.
>>5410>I like immortality only if God gives me superpowers.Never will happen. This is why religion opiates. It promises immortality in heaven while it neglects life on earth.
How is this dogshit thread still up and getting bumped while every other TedK thread got sent to
>>>/dead/ ?
>>5412How come these get sent to
>>>/dead/ while this one stays up to shit up the main board for weeks? What's the difference mods? This entire thread is "technology bad", what the fuck does it have to do with leftism? It's not even a critique of anything precisely, its not a critique of how technology is being used against people right now, it just puts an ultimatum and then goes "yeah but subjectively life would be better this way". The only people cheering it on are literal LARPs who have been playing Rust on their computers and watching memes about primitive life. It is purely reactionary. The majority of people posting Ted memes are the same motherfuckers with black sun profile pics on their socials commenting about "muh tradition, muh heritage, evropa" and its futile to pretend otherwise.
This thread is proving it: Marxists fear Ted Kaczynski. The reason is simple. Kaczynski's theory is a direct attack on the core belief of marxism, the idea that economic growth and technological progress is good. In his main text, "Industrial society and its future", Kaczynski is delivering a concise and easy to understand analysis of the role of technology in human existence. In short, Kaczynski's theory can be boiled down to: Technological progress is undermining human autonomy. Although Marxists do recognize, that technology is undermining human autonomy (under capitalism), but they believe it has political reasons and therefore this issue must be resolved by changing the political system. But even when capitalism should be abolished and global communism achieved, marxists view the enslavement of humanity through the machine as positive. Marxists believe, that Sludge Content on TikTok is a progressive force, because it is a necessary step to achieve communism. Many Marxists believe, that being a mindless consoomer drone is actually the good life and they justify it with this quote by Marx: "The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre, go dancing, go drinking (…) The less you are."
In short, the principled and true communist is a docile consoomer. Since most people on leftypol are communists/consoomers, it is no surprise that they hate Kaczynski.
>>5422That is right, just like bureaucracy
"The bureaucracy is a circle from which no one can escape. Its hierarchy is a hierarchy of knowledge."
And
"Technology discloses man's mode of dealing with Nature, the process of production by which he sustains his life, and thereby also lays bare the mode of formation of his social relations, and of the mental conceptions that flow from them."
