IT IS A HUMAN RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS

It should be very clear that bearing arms should be a necessity. The right to bear arms allows individuals to protect themselves from harm of any kind, also fostering personal security and independence. As so-called "democratic" states grow increasingly tyrannical and opressive towards its citizens, especially within the European Union where owning a firearm is virtually impossible, boundaries are pushed to restrict privacy and autonomy like never before. For instance, the EU's proposol of "Chat-Control 2.0" where every single message you send from your device is scanned, justified in the blatant excuse of "protecting children".

The system that rules over you has an executive force. To be able to escape this injustice, we must have the same force on an individual level as the executive force of the system. The only way we can guarantee our freedom and autonomy is exactly by being able to protect oneself by the system that wishes to take away it.

"Finally, one learns that boredom is a disease of civilization. It seems to me that what boredom mostly is is that people have to keep themselves entertained or occupied, because if they aren’t, then certain anxieties, frustrations, discontents, and so forth, start coming to the surface, and it makes them uncomfortable. Boredom is almost nonexistent once you’ve become adapted to life in the woods. If you don’t have any work that needs to be done, you can sit for hours at a time just doing nothing, just listening to the birds or the wind or the silence, watching the shadows move as the sun travels, or simply looking at familiar objects. And you don’t get bored. You’re just at peace".

- Theodore John Kaczynski

One of the greatest concerns for the anti-tech movement is that people get drawn into politically motivated movements where the focus is set on non-essential issues of society that the system can afford a comprimise on. This is the system's neatest trick. It allows wide latitude for rebellion as long as it doesn’t go so far as to threaten the essential needs of the system. This in turn lets people to “blow off steam”, to release rebellious impulses without taking any real risks for themselves and without doing any significant damage to the system. In fact, these pseudo-rebels often end up helping the system by reforming it, which actually elongates the survival of the system.
The anti-tech movement does not call for political revolution. Our object is to overthrow not governments but the economic and technological basis of the present society.

SHOULD WE FEAR ACCELERATIONISM? - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANTI-TECH REVOLUTION AND ACCELERATIONISM?

There is a distinguishable difference the anti-tech movement must learn to understand. Deliberately trying to speed up the collapse of industrial society already in the early stages of revolution through chaos, violence, or destabilization is reckless and counterproductive. The technological system is fragile but also highly adaptive, and that shocks which mean to “accelerate” its breakdown would more likely strengthen it by giving governments justification to expand surveillance, repression, and technological control.
Uncontrolled collapse without ideological direction is also to be feared if our goal is to reclaim our autonomy.

WHAT DO WE DO INSTEAD?

Hit when and where it hurts. When the system presents itself most vulnerable, is when we strike against the core of technological and institutional power. For example, targeting the power grid, corporations et cetera.

SURROGATE ACTIVITIES (Industrial Society And Its Future)

39.
"We use the term “surrogate activity” to designate an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely in order to have some goal to work toward, or, let us say, merely for the sake of the “fulfillment” that they get from pursuing the goal. Here is a rule of thumb for the identification of surrogate activities. Given a person who devotes much time and energy to the pursuit of goal X, ask yourself this: If he had to devote most of his time and energy to satisfying his biological needs, and if that effort required him to use his physical and mental faculties in a varied and interesting way, would he feel seriously deprived because he did not attain goal X? If the answer is no, then the person’s pursuit of goal X is a surrogate activity".

THE COLLAPSE OF THE SYSTEM MIGHT TAKE A WHILE

If and when the system collapses, whether it does so spontaneously or through revolution, there will be violence, and that physical force will play an important role in determining what group, what ideology comes out on top.
However, we cannot confidently say that civilization will go down in the reasonably near future. Just the elimination of the technoindustrial system is very problematic, and we must exert ourselves to the utmost in an effort to assure that it will happen. However, we must not be reckless, impatient and jeopardize our freedom for short-term satisfaction of commiting random acts of violence in the early stages we find ourselves in. It is paramount our movement prepares itself and is ready to hit where it hurts when the world tension is at an all-time high, inner contradictions within the system more evident than ever before.

"We should try to infiltrate and gain key positions in corporations , governments and other power institutions. I'm pessimistic that a classical revolution or rebellion is possible nowadays. The surveillance systems are too advanced and governments have too much power in communication and technology". - @Far_away_from_everything

My answer:

Kaczynski did not speak in terms of a "classical" revolution where you pick up the torch and the hayfork. In order for there to be a successful revolution, the anti-tech movement must have educated revolutionaries that work within the system. The only way to defeat the technological system is exactly by using the very technology that enslaves humanity. It should be obvious to us that one must know how to use such technology if we are to rebel against the system.

Destroying technology that sustains the system is simply a means of crippling the system. Our objective is to target the economic basis and institutions that the system is founded upon. Therefore it is paramount that we have highly dedicated people that have jobs and work for the system, so that we can infiltrate the core of the technological system much easier. Also, Our goal is not to overthrow governments, but to destroy the foundational pillars of the technological system. Otherwise, we'll make room for other governments to replace the one before.

THE SYSTEM WILL COLLAPSE, WITH OR WITHOUT A REVOLUTION

Eventually, the inner contradictions within the system are going to become so amplified that there will be a collapse, with our without an anti-tech revolution. Whether it will be a revolution or not, mass violence is going to be unleashed. The coming years will prove to be increasingly cynical, and i cannot stress enough the importance of getting organized and preparing. It is absolute paramount that we do succeed in creating a working revolution with the correct ideological direction if we are to reclaim our autonomy and save wild nature.

HIT WHERE IT HURTS!!!!!

A mistake many anti-tech thinkers make is that they focus on specific issues of society that the system can afford a comprimise on. The system is highly adaptable and can easily recover and become more powerful than it was before from blows hit where it actually doesn't hurt.

An analogy i like to make is how the technological-system acts like the Hydra from greek mythology. Each serpent's head represents an issue of modern society. For every head severed, more heads sprouts from the stump. Basically, trying to speed up the collapse of the techno-industrial system by targeting or blaming certain groups of people "in power" or non-essential problems of society, will only give the system justification to expand its already infringing surveillence, brutal repression and technological control.
According to the mythology, the Hydra typically has nine heads and one central head from which all the other heads branches off from. Cutting off the main head's neck will prevent all the other heads from growing back. This is to say that attacking the actual foundational pillars of the system is what is actually going to hurt the systen. To be less vague, this would involve targeting the economic and technological basis of the system, such as powerful institutions and the power grid.

THE FIRST DAYS AFTER THE COLLAPSE:

If the collapse does happen, which presumably will not happen in the near future, there will not be any fuel or spare parts for farm machinery, there won’t be any of the pesticides or artificial fertilizers on which modern agriculture has become dependent. Trucks and trains will also not be running to transport any food that is produced to the places where it’s needed. The consequences will be that people will not have enough to eat. Not to mention other necessities such as clothing, fuel for heating and cooking, or potable water. There will also be immense violence, people fighting and scrambling what little food there is left and other scarce resources. The collapse of the technoindustrial system will unleash aggressive and competitive impulses.

"If we are ever to get rid of the system, we will have to accept the consequences. The human race will have to pass through fire. When a species becomes too numerous, typically it reaches a point where it suffers a sudden population decline through starvation, epidemic, or whatever. The human race should be subject to the same law".

ANTI-TECH APOSTLES DENOUNCES THESE PSUEDO-REBELS‼️

Beware of these false prophets who preach continuous comprimises between nature and technology. These anarchists offer mere psychological substitutes for true autonomy. True liberation can only be achieved by smashing the techno-industrial system.

You cannot make a lasting comprimise between nature and technology, because technology is by far the more powerful social force and always ends up enroaching over human freedom.

WHY THE ANTI-TECH MOVEMENT'S MAIN FOCUS SHOULD BE THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM AND NOT SAVING NATURE

Nature can take care of itself, it was a spontaneous creation that existed long before any human society. The elimination of the technological-system is by far the more important task than "nature restoration". Whether or not the biosphere will be able to sustain complex life, humans included, will depend on how soon the collapse goes down. That is why we must exert ourselves to the outmost to ensure that we have a working revolution and can push the system to collapse when we have the chance.
