I'll just re-post this here
>>11757993I'm not the guy you're replying to but I've actually read the manifesto in its entirety. While it has parts that follow a logical line of argumentation, the parts that do so most strikingly (e.g. description of the "power process") are not his ideas in origin but are paraphrased from other technoanarchists such as Zerzan and Ellul. The parts that are his and his alone (e.g. bombing of technocrats) read like non-sequiturs that are steeped in bitterness and cynicism and depart in style from the rest of the document. While it is clear that the essay taken on the whole is more lucid than what you would commonly expect to see from a mass murderer, I did not find it particularly impressive as a piece of political literature on its own. Its cult popularity, including on 4chan, in my view stems primarily from the mysticism surrounding the person who wrote it rather than innate merits of the writing itself. I doubt that many people who tout his ideas here have even read it.
