>The ideas in this manifesto led its author to kill.

So did the ideas in the Declaration of Independence. Asimov's Foundation trilogy inspired violence. And the Catcher in the Rye. And the Bible.

Let's not pretend many of the concepts in this manifesto haven't become mainstream within the tech community. Many here would agree with the premise that modern technological society (specifically the web) has done more harm to humanity than good, would agree with its criticisms of leftist and PC ideology, and that effecting meaningful change within the existing corrupt systems of government is impossible.

This manifesto has shaped modern tech culture and politics in profound ways and it does no good not to acknowledge the degree to which many here would agree with it in principle. It should be read and it should be discussed openly.
