Past socities offered more personal freedom

"It is said that we live in a free society because we have a certain number of constitutionally guaranteed rights. But these are not as important as they seem. The degree of personal freedom that exists in a society is determined more by the economic and technological structure of the society than by its laws or its form of government. Most of the Indian nations of New England were monarchies, and many of the cities of the Italian Renaissance were controlled by dictators. But in reading about these societies one gets the impression that they allowed far more personal freedom than our society does. In part this was because they lacked efficient mechanisms for enforcing the ruler’s will: There were no modern, well-organized police forces, no rapid long-distance communications, no surveillance cameras, no dossiers of information about the lives of average citizens. Hence it was relatively easy to evade control".

- Ted Kaczynski

"When I returned for a time to the city after living for an extended period in the mountains of Montana, I realized upon readjusting to urban existence that all my life, until I escaped to the mountains, I had been subject to chronic stress. To be sure, it was stress at a relatively low level, a level at which people habituated to urban living are not aware of stress because they've always been subject to it and don’t know how it would feel to be free of it. It was only through my experience in the mountains that I learn how good it felt to escape from chronic stress altogether."

[...] It is not the primitive man, who has used his body daily for practical purposes, who fears the deterioration of age, but the modern man, who has never had a practical use for his body beyond walking from his car to his house. It is the man whose need for the power process has been satisfied during his life who is best prepared to accept the end of that life.
ISAIF, paragraph 71.

ALL ORGANIZATION-DEPENDANT TECHNOLOGY MUST BE ABOLISHED

Many anti-civ ideologies like anarcho-communism that is cloaked in the false generosity of ecologism, argue that not all technology is inherently bad and can instead serve a use to "protect" humans and the natural environment. Already there are many flaws one can point out with this. "Bad" technology cannot be separated from the supposed "good" because modern technology is an interconnected system in which every part depends on the other. Technologies that seem beneficial like medicine or communication tools rely on the same industrial infrastructure that produces harmful or oppressive technologies. This essentially means that you cannot keep one without also sustaining the system.
All organization-dependant technology ends up enroaching on human freedom.

184. Nature makes a perfect counter-ideal to technology for several reasons. Nature (that which is outside the power of the system) is the opposite of technology (which seeks to expand indefinitely the power of the system). Most people will agree that nature is beautiful; certainly it
has tremendous popular appeal. The radical environmentalists already hold an ideology that exalts nature and opposes technology.30 It is not necessary for the sake of nature to set up some chimerical
utopia or any new kind of social order. Nature takes care of itself: It was a spontaneous creation that existed long before any human society, and for countless centuries many different kinds of human societies coexisted with nature without doing it an excessive amount of damage. *Only with the Industrial Revolution did the effect of human society on nature become really devastating.*

Contrary to what some politically correct scientists will tell you,the reason why human population is increasing is largely due to the industrial progress and the increase in food production in particular. I can't stop hearing about the idea(raised by social justice "environments") that we somehow will help the environment if we find a way to feed all the people on Earth, which is impossible. Even if we somehow manage to feed all the excess population in the world we will not solve the world hunger , because these populations, following natural reproduction dynamics, will increase,due to the available new resources. The only way to stop the unnatural human growth is to destroy the means that create or transport food supply! This is not Misanthropy,this reality!

"Of these concerns, climate change is perhaps the most troubling. A 2009 report by a UN affiliated think tank projects that, without drastic migration actions, climate change will cause "Much of civilization to collapse", for large proportions of the world. Here we have the ultimate irony: a technological civilization created and powered by fossil fuels, which ends up being so disruptive to the global climate that it destroyes itself. Along the way we will have eliminated thousands of other species, and put our own existence at risk. Perhaps a kind of cosmic justice is at work after all.
Theodore John Kaczynski (Technological Slavery)

"Civilization is capable of making Earth uninhabitable for humans and the majority of living species. Historical civilizations self-destructed before causing global damage, but global industrial civilization has been far more damaging than its predecessors. We no longer have the option of waiting it out. There is nowhere left to go. Civilization will collapse one way or another, and it's our job to insure that something is left afterward." -Deep Green resistance , Derrick Jenson

"The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can't make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably brake down traditional values"
ISAIF, paragraph 50.

[...] "Our lives depend on decisions made by other people; we have no control over these decisions and usually we do not even know the people who make them. (β€œWe live in a world in which relatively few peopleβ€”maybe 500 or 1,000β€”make the important decisions”—Philip B. Heymann of Harvard Law School, quoted by Anthony Lewis, New York Times, April 21, 1995.) Our lives depend on whether safety standards at a nuclear power plant are properly maintained; on how much pesticide is allowed to get into our food or how much pollution into our air; on how skillful (or incompetent) our doctor is; whether we lose or get a job may depend on decisions made by government economists or corporation executives; and so forth. Most individuals are not in a position to secure themselves against these threats to more [than] a very limited extent. The individual’s search for security is therefore frustrated, which leads to a sense of powerlessness.

"First, the movement must build its own internal sources of power. It will have to create a strong, cohesive organization consisting of individuals who are absolutely committed to the elimination of the technological system. Numbers will be a secondary consideration. A numerically small organization built of high-quality personnel will be far more effective than a much larger organization in which the majority of members are of mediocre quality. The organization will have to develop its understanding of the dynamics of social movements so that it will recognize opportunities when they arrive and will know how to exploit them." - Ted Kaczynski, Anti Tech Revolution

"Never before have people been so infantalized, made so dependant on the machine for everything; as the earth rapidly approaches its extinction due to technology, our souls are shrunk and flattened by its pervasive rule. Any sense of wholeness and freedom can only return by the undoing of the massive division of labour at the heart of technological progress".

"[...] The line of conflict should be drawn between the mass of the people and the power-holding elite of industrial society (politicians, scientists, upper-level business executives, government officials, etc.). It should NOT be drawn between the revolutionaries and the mass of the people. For example, it would be bad strategy for the revolutionaries to condemn Americans for their habits of consumption. Instead, the average American should be portrayed as a victim of the advertising and marketing industry, which has suckered him into buying a lot of junk that he doesn’t need and that is very poor compensation for his lost freedom. Either approach is consistent with the facts. It is merely a matter of attitude whether you blame the advertising industry for manipulating the public or blame the public for allowing itself to be manipulated. As a matter of strategy one should generally avoid blaming the public."

"The values linked with β€œprogress” have now become the values of another dominating regime: the technoindustrial system that rules the world today. And other new values are emerging that are beginning to challenge in their turn the values of the technoindustrial system. The new values are totally incompatible with technoindustrial values, so that the tension between the two systems of values cannot be relieved through compromise. It is certain that the partisans of technology will not voluntarily give in to the new values. Doing so would entail the sacrifice of everything they live for; they would rather die than yield. If the new values spread and grow strong enough, the tension will rise to a point at which revolution will be the only possible outcome. And there is reason to believe that the new values will indeed spread and grow stronger." - Ted Kaczynski
