A quick search of this thread discloses that there is no mention of Ted Kacynski. So I thought I would put in a word for him.

The relevance here, I should think, is relatively obvious: invent a way of controlling “les autres” (OP’s: Sartre’s “other people” whose presence is what makes hell hell) while shrugging one’s shoulders and saying “it’s the way of nature, there’s no help for it. The machine age has encroached too far, so obviously I must start killing people.” This what the “Unabomber Manifesto” comes down to, a threat message Ted insisted on being published after the fact, as it were.

The link here is an age-old (at least in western cult) itch called “primitivism”: the belief that “nature” (whatever that is) is better without the presence of people than with it (cf. Sartre above: this is because “people” are “unnatural”).

What gets me is the sheer blithering cowardice of it all: environmentalists are people who haven’t got the guts to say all the above–even if they were conscious of it which of course they’re not because lack of consciousness of what you’re “really doing” is what makes “being a environmentalist” possible–so that they can go blithely on their way in all self-righteousness (you think Ted Kacynski thought killing people was “evil”??)–while in effect managing to control les autres through the mediation of an impersonal agency aka the federal government.

What we need is a direct rhetoric–nothing like the above–by which in one sentence or slogan environmentalists can be flattened every time all the time in public, till they run away, which is not impossible to anticipate because “environmentalists are cowards who want to, etc. etc.”

I suggest some epigrammatically-honed version of the following: “Every time an environmenalist breathes she creates CO2. Environmentalists to be consistent must stop breathing.”
