Well, essentially the libertarian anarcho-capitalist bits.

TBH, I can can just strongly disagree with people like that, but what got me worked up about this pile of high-school grade political science was the way it conflated all that libertarian anarcho-capitalism with being pro-tech, and implying that any concern for the negative effects of developement (or of the economic system) therefore automatically puts you on the "enemies" side of things.

It's a frantastically offensive false catagorisation that I strongly reject.
