1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,600
In 1995, an American man took it upon himself to single-handedly challenge the entire post-industrial

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,920
truth regime.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,500
Theodor Kaczynski sent bomb threats to mainstream media institutions, along with a demand to

4
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:20,280
publish his manifesto, Industrial Society and its Future.

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,940
These were not the ramblings of a deranged terrorist, however, but rather the most pungent

6
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:29,840
critique of industrial society since its emergence, conceived by a 167 IQ genius.

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,780
The New York Times and Washington Post responded by printing the essay in its entirety, marking

8
00:00:34,780 --> 00:00:41,300
the birth of an ideological movement that would later gain notoriety under the name anarcho-primitivism.

9
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:45,920
This two-part series is intended to cover the major points of analysis in Kaczynski's

10
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,920
manifesto.

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,580
This video will explore his psychological deconstruction of contemporary leftism, which he identifies

12
00:00:51,580 --> 00:00:55,240
as symptomatic for the deeply troublesome state of our society.

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,620
The second video will highlight his assessment of the negative relationship between technology

14
00:00:59,620 --> 00:01:02,200
and human freedom.

15
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,860
Kaczynski defines contemporary leftists mainly as socialists, collectivists, politically correct

16
00:01:06,860 --> 00:01:12,460
types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists and the like.

17
00:01:12,460 --> 00:01:17,160
What these fragmented groups all have in common though are two psychological tendencies, feelings

18
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,820
of inferiority and over-socialization.

19
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:25,280
The former is a trait that is often found in hypersensitive minority rights activists who

20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,000
seek to radically limit speech that they deem to be offensive.

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,480
He identifies low self-esteem and powerlessness as the origin for these salous positions.

22
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,720
To find up-to-date examples for this sort of behaviour, one must look no further than

23
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:45,400
to Black Lives Matter or LGBT activists who continually obstruct discourse in the name of social justice.

24
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,040
The most extreme activists among them are overwhelmingly university educated, white heterosexual upper

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,020
middle class males who defend minority groups precisely because they see them as inferior

26
00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:57,980
and therefore identify with them.

27
00:01:57,980 --> 00:02:02,780
He attributes a post-modern mentality to them as they constantly deconstruct anything that

28
00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:06,980
is strong, good and successful such as western civilization itself.

29
00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:11,300
Leftists lack confidence in their own ability and therefore seek to construct a society in

30
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:13,800
which the state takes care of everyone.

31
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,660
The concept of competition goes against their intrinsic nature because they feel like losers.

32
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:23,420
Leftists fight against the fabric of reality itself because they cannot bear the fact that

33
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:26,260
human behaviour and abilities are genetic.

34
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:31,240
Any group that ends up in an inferior position within society therefore is not to be held accountable

35
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,460
for their actions but rather society at large.

36
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:39,020
Kaczynski concludes that leftists have a deficit in their sense of power and self-worth but they

37
00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:43,120
can still conceive of themselves as having the capacity to be strong.

38
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,640
This however is only the case in the framework of large movements or groups because the leftists

39
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:51,520
cannot conceive of themselves as individually strong and valuable.

40
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,260
A perfect example for this would be Antifa, a terrorist organization that engages in street

41
00:02:56,260 --> 00:03:00,060
violence but only in the context of large anonymous groups.

42
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:04,480
The high levels of hostility present in a leftist activist type are intended to satisfy

43
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,460
their emotional needs for power.

44
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:10,500
This became apparent during the American race riots this year in which Antifa was heavily

45
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:11,500
involved.

46
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:15,560
Acts of violence and destruction in the name of racial justice actually create more hatred

47
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,480
towards the group in whose name these acts are committed.

48
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,160
The leftist activists do not believe in the surface level issues they prepare to care about.

49
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,340
They are merely a way for them to cope with their frustration.

50
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:30,840
As Kaczynski put it, if our society had no social problems at all, the leftists would have

51
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,600
to invent problems in order to provide themselves with an excuse for making a fuss.

52
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,500
The latter trait, oversocialization, applies to people who cannot think, feel or act within

53
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:46,720
the moral framework of their society without experiencing feelings of guilt and inadequacy.

54
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,880
If a child is raised by excessive moral shaming, they will likely develop self-hatred.

55
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:56,080
A common phenomenon that can be observed in western education systems is the wide prevalence

56
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,720
of white guilt and post-colonial narratives that create a situation of oversocialization.

57
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Western children grow up ashamed of aspects of their identity that they cannot change, such

58
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,820
as ancestry or skin color.

59
00:04:07,820 --> 00:04:12,520
These children are often so oversocialized that they cannot even experience unclean thoughts

60
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,920
that go against the accepted moral narrative of the western truth regime.

61
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,020
Kaczynski therefore proposes that the most zealous leftists, such as university intellectuals,

62
00:04:22,020 --> 00:04:26,000
are also the most oversocialized people in our society.

63
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,860
Leftists might be perceived as rebels, but in reality they are the most radical supporters

64
00:04:29,860 --> 00:04:34,720
of the system, to such an extent even that they start to accuse the system itself of failing

65
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,840
its own moral framework.

66
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:41,580
Liberal democracy, the predominant ideology of the western world, cements the belief in equality

67
00:04:41,580 --> 00:04:44,460
as one of its moral principles.

68
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:48,060
Politicians tend to critique this system, not because they disagree with its premise,

69
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:51,420
but because it is taking equality not far enough.

70
00:04:51,420 --> 00:04:55,520
Communism is therefore their preferred form, because it is the reductio ad absurdum of democratic

71
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,440
morality.

72
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,240
Another example in the manifesto is the American left struggle for black empowerment.

73
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,320
In reality, this is an attempt by them to integrate the African-American community into the industrial

74
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,680
system by making them conform to white middle-class ideals, such as holding a respectable job,

75
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,280
climbing the status ladder, being a responsible parent and so forth.

76
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:20,920
The leftists are so pathologically oversocialized, that even when they break with the norms of

77
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,640
society, for example when they commit violence, they do it in the name of mainstream values,

78
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,280
such as fighting for racial equality.

79
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:32,520
Kaczynski therefore concludes that leftism is the result of a society that increasingly

80
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640
socializes its population.

81
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Furthermore, he describes the dangers of leftism resulting from this specific psychology.

82
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,280
Leftists are intrinsically collectivist and only care about satisfying their need for power.

83
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:48,340
They seek to bind the world together into a unified whole.

84
00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:53,520
This can only be achieved by removing human freedom through the centralization of technology.

85
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Leftists may pretend to oppose power structures, but history is showing that they will only do

86
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,180
this until they capture the systems of social control for themselves.

87
00:06:01,180 --> 00:06:05,480
This was the case in the Soviet Union, or even more recently in Western academia.

88
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,840
As outsiders, they opposed censorship, but once they took control, they re-implemented

89
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:11,540
it stricter than ever before.

90
00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:16,140
Kaczynski points out that leftism is a sort of religion, because its adherents need to believe

91
00:06:16,140 --> 00:06:20,780
in it, otherwise their entire psychological self-conception will fall apart.

92
00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:25,420
By convincing themselves that their inferior slave morality is in fact the moral high ground,

93
00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:30,060
they create an emotional dependency that cannot be broken by mere facts and logic.

94
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:35,560
He also identifies this aspect as the cause for the totalitarian tendencies in leftism.

95
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,800
Leftists can never be satisfied, as their true intentions are the gain of power.

96
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,240
Even if society would satisfy all of their current desires, within a few years the leftists

97
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,800
would again succumb to their desire to complain about non-issues, just to impose their solutions

98
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:49,800
on others.

99
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,160
Because of their high levels of socialization, the leftists cannot pursue power in a normal

100
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,160
way.

101
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,080
They force their morality onto others.

102
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Their belief in the greater movement is so strong, that especially weaker leftist types

103
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,400
can never doubt it in public, even if they disapprove of its actions in private.

104
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,160
Again, one can look at the George Floyd riots of this year, where the leftist mainstream media

105
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,800
in particular would outright deny any acts of violence and looting committed by so-called

106
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,160
peaceful protesters.

107
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Kaczynski identifies collectivism, social engineering and a disdain for any form of competition

108
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,080
as leftist characteristics.

109
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,340
The most dangerous type, according to him however, are over-socialized crypto-leftists.

110
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:34,520
They tend to work under the cover of bourgeois methods towards achieving their ideologically

111
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,260
and psychologically motivated goals.

112
00:07:37,260 --> 00:07:41,880
Groups that often fall into this category tend to be bureaucrats, journalists, teachers and

113
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,160
lecturers that are true believers in a collectivist ideology.

114
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:51,540
Ted Kaczynski's great achievement in his ideological deconstruction is the conclusion that leftism

115
00:07:51,540 --> 00:07:56,600
should rather be classified as a mental condition instead of a coherent political movement.

116
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,460
When viewed from this perspective, a lot of absurd positions held by leftists suddenly

117
00:08:00,460 --> 00:08:01,760
make sense.

118
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,100
They never intend to solve issues reasonably, but rather aim to satisfy their pathological

119
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:07,260
need for power.

120
00:08:07,260 --> 00:08:11,780
Ultimately, this is the reason why leftism is a dangerous totalitarian force that always

121
00:08:11,780 --> 00:08:15,340
ends up being incompatible with human freedom.

122
00:08:15,340 --> 00:08:19,820
How industrialized society creates the leftist psychology and its overall impact on the future

123
00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:22,700
of human society will be covered in the next video.
