A lot of good thoughts — mixed with problematic ones
4 stars
Far from a “rant” or “delusion”, this manuscript was well structured and argued, akin to something you would expect from a philosophy masters student.
It manages a critique of the western world, that may profoundly touch many. Drawing mostly on anarcho-primitivist ideas, with some neo-luddite and marxist influences.
It however contains a problematic critique of leftism, which in a sense, blames minority groups for the suffering they face. Additionally some parts of his theory contain ableist tendencies.
