Ted is a dumbass who doesn't know jack shit about history, anthropology or economics. His conception of premodern societies is laughable, like he got it all from Hollywood films. He then goes on to give a list of gripes rooted more in American yeoman frontier ideology than anything to do with the effects of industrialization.
I really hate how this ignorant serial killer managed to attract an online following of disaffected young guys. Disaffected young guys who invariable find and read his ramblings on an electric beep-boop machine in their cushy, first world, air-conditioned bedrooms.
