I had to google Ted Kaczinski (I'm not American), so I just want to mention here that Ted Kaczinski is a terrorist and mass murderer. No criticism on your post itself btw, I just felt it's relevant context.

He was also subjected to, well lets say "ethical questionable" experiments at Harvard.

In case you didn't run in to this - the violence was related to his views on modernity.
He seems to have walked the line between spree-killer style arbitrary violence and political terrorism. It's a strange situation; there was a clear political philosophy (anarcho-primitivism, roughly), but it's one too rare to have other violent supporters. What would we have called anarcho-communist violence if there had only been one person total who engaged in it?
It's a strange case all around, but definitely made stranger by his adopting a viewpoint that was obscure, but not unique.
