One of the most extreme environmentalists of our time, he blew up industrials so his manifesto would be read. Anyone have any thoughts?

The unabomber manifesto is hard to read....it's also very long. Seems he had a problem with "lefties" though.

Most of what he writes doesn't make that much sense.

Most of the crazy eco nuts don't make much sense any ways.

The pristine wilderness that they always go on about only ever existed in their own heads.

It makes more sense if you have a background in Nietzsche and Chomsky, I think, since his theories seem to be along the lines of a hybrid between the two.

I found it hard to read in that he uses language very technically, but that's no difference from most technical books.

He saw leftism as a psychological disease, but it's interesting that he includes all participants in liberal democracy as lefties... including Republicans.
