This guy is definitely not an NT. He's stuck in his value system and is nearly impervious to reason. Just watch his interview with Ed Dutton (ENTP). https://odysee.com/@JollyHeretic:d/Eco-Philosopher-Anarchist-John-Zerzan-Tells-Us-Why-Civilization-is-a-Very-Bad-Thing:5 If you don't want to see the whole thing, the entire interview can be summed up by starting at 1:34:28 and watching until the end. Lots of sloppy reasoning, cherry picking, and unwarranted hostility toward contradictory evidence, all in support of his Fi-motivated anti-civilizational narrative. I suppose an immature individual of any type could be like this, but it's hard to imagine a "rational" type being so stubbornly wedded to a particular viewpoint at his age, in spite of all logic and evidence. His critique of civilization is also much more rooted in communitarian values than the hard systems-thinking of Ted Kaczynski (INTJ). He is emotionally attached to a very specific kind of primitivism, one that is egalitarian. His reading into the "natural" state of man and closely related species is such that it only confirms his belief in peace and equality between sexes, sexualities, classes, races, and so on, contrary evidence be damned. He also has a feminine, passive-aggressive argumentation style that is uncharacteristic of NTs.
