Are you purposely missing the point or are you really unable to understand the concept?  I did not explain what is wrong with Industrial Civilization in 200 Words, in fact I wrote a lot more than the 35,000 pages TK did attempting to explain it all.  All I did in that response was explain Ted's motivation and methodology.  You also miss the point that who actually got sent to the Great Beyond was basically irrelevant, they were just people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.  The people weren't the target, the civilization was.

Normal folks in fact do NOT agree on the premise, and up to TKs era and in fact onward to today nobody has come up with any action any more effective than Ted's bombing campaign.  Greta Thunberg hasn't been any more effective, neither has Extinction Rebellion. You can abhor violence, but historically speaking making any kind of major change in society has been accompanied by violence, a whole lot more generally speaking than Ted dished out.  Lotta killing and bombing went on from both sides in the fight over Slavery even before the War of Northern Aggression began  Prior to the American Revolution, quite a few large ships were scuttled and numerous innocent merchant sailors who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time there were sent to the Great Beyond.  They weren't targeted for murder, they were casualties of war.

I doubt TK expected his little bombing campaign to bring down Industrial Civilization. rather I think he viewed it more like Lexington & Concord, the "shot heard round the world" that initiated the FSoA Revolution.  He probably hoped others would follow his example and take up arms to destroy industrial civilization. That didn't happen, so he eventually ended up getting caught and receiving a life sentence rather then ending up as a hero of the revolution with statues of him erected in Central Park and High Schools named after him.  Ya can't win 'em all.  So it goes.
