Was he wrong?
His methods were good, but his ideas completely discredit him.

Some of his points are genuinely intriguing.
However I think he was a little too brainwashed by the left-right system in America and ascribes some of the phenomena he is complaining about as an entirely left driven thing.
Especially when he talks about what is occurring in universities, about the dis-valuing of genuine inquiry, being replaced by line towing ideologues; which seems to me more of a function of universities opinions and general operations becoming a political matter, which I think would have occurred naturally.
I think if he had shaken a bit of that false dichotomy he would have produced far more biting points. But there is some really lucid stuff in there. It's certainly the only edgy manifesto i've ever read that actually made me think about the points being made instead of just seeing through the author into his psychological motivations like glass.
Who is he?

That is probably his most apposite commentary
Whether or not some of his points were "right" is irrelevant. What was his solution? Nail bombs and and an NYT publication which only served to validate the NYT, and thus the very system he was criticizing. What did that accomplish? He didn't understand the nature of media and how embedded it is in the very things that were corrupting the land he was living on.
Ultimately, his acts were personal acts of revenge. He didn't affect any change which would protect the environment or protect other land owners from experiencing similar problems.
