Just to explain this meme to ppl not familiar. Ted Kaczynski [left] (aka the Unabomber) wasn’t a leftist or an anarchist. The person on the right is Murray Bookchin, a pioneer in the environmental movement.
[Kaczynski] was extremely critical of anarchism and the left, and would certainly reject that label. He was a primitivist, which is more in line with radical conservative concepts than leftism. Primitivism bases its rhetoric on a romanticized past, much like moderate conservatism, but just goes much much farther back. Thus, his writing is more in line with “eco-fascism”, the new right, etc than with anarchism. - source
Primitivism argues that civilization is at the root of societal and environmental problems, and that the best/only solution is to eschew technology and contemporary social relations, and to return to a more primitive existence, i.e., blow it all up and go back to the past.
Tldr: be like The Chad Bookchin, not like The Virgin Kaczynski
