What does /lit/ think of this work? Does he have any good points or is it just the raving lunacy of someone mentally unstable?

He is one of the greatest thinkers of the modern era, if not the sole beacon of hope for humanity.

I can't really disagree that society would be better off without the dehumanizing nature of technology but like... I like my computer.

techno stuff bad, Luddite good

>the part where he says there is now a constant flood of information and his manifesto would have been lost had he not killed people
I guess he was probably right about that.

If we destroyed industrial civilization and returned to a primitive state, why wouldnt it just arise again out of the competition of feuding tribes?

Pretty much this. At the end of Vonnegut's Player Piano, after they lead a small revolution, a bunch of their crew are looking at an old vending machine or something trying to figure out ways to get it to work and improve it, and the main characters go off and surrender.

It's in human nature to want to fiddle with and build stuff. I don't know what the alternative is.

Both things are true

Bat shit crazy solution but analysis of leftists was great.

absolutely retarded. The whole thing is riddled with logical fallacies and leaps of fate. basically his arguments are "muh nature" and saying that quality X is unique to industrial society, and affliction Y plagues us now, ergo X caused Y so we should go back to being cavemen.

Yes

Kaczynski was extremely antisocial and neurotic and didn't really make any points that other anarchists hadn't hit upon decades earlier. There are better books to read, but convincing yourself that society is doomed isn't a healthy endeavor so I wouldn't recommend reading any at all.

/lit/ is never going to be rid of idiots who make authoritative posts on issues they don't understand at all but that doesn't mean we should stop calling it out when it happens.

Stop breathing you waste of O2. I hope you die of an infected anal fissure.
