I suppose we wouldn't know whether an audience for those ideas exists today because they would be blacklisted, deplatformed, or deamplified by consolidated authorities.
There was a quote last year during the "Twitter files" hearing, something like, "it is axiomatic that the government cannot do indirectly what it is prohibited from doing directly".
Perhaps ironically, I had a difficult time using Google to find the exact wording of the quote or its source. The only verbatim result was from a NYPost article about the hearing.

Be realistic, none his ideas would be blacklisted. They sound good on paper, but the instant it's time for everyone to return to mudhuts and farming, 99% of people will return to Playstations and ACs.
He wasn't "silenced" because the government was out to get him, no one talks about his ideas because they are just bad. Most people will give up on ecofascism once you tell them that you won't be able to eat strawberries out of season.

Sorry. Not true. You have Black Swan (Taleb) and Drift into Failure (Dekker) among many other books. These ideas are very well known to anyone who makes the effort.
The only thing that got Unabomber blacklisted is that he started to send bombs to people. His manifesto was dime a dozen, half the time you can expect politician boosting such stuff for temporary polling wins.
Hell, if we take his alleged (don't have vetted the genealogy tree) cousins, his body count isn't even that impressive.
