I hate modern society too but you sound like a pseudo-intellectual pretentious dick. But hey you like art and smart things so that makes you smarter than everybody else.
Not religious but modern science meets all criteria of a religion. Also I don't get your whole idea about having small numbers of "genetically superior" people hold control over all the resources creating a traditional society. That whole scenario minus technology is literally just some mad max shit where everyones living in a totalitarian dystopia. Your idea is dumb.
I don’t see any difference between my description and a normal patriarchal society (for example Roman Empire). And even if it does differ then I probably didn’t mean it. Also I came up with it when I was pretty young
So what is it about the roman empire that was so much better than the current system? Id say most of the problems with modern society were there in Rome too. Is it the technology you dont like or what?
During the height of the Roman empire, between 10 and 15 percent of those living in it were slaves. Maybe that's part of its appeal to the OP, since in the mid 19th century, around 40% of the population of Russia were serfs (slaves in all but name).
Nothing til you're one of the slaves. People who pine for these kinds of authoritarian regimes like to imagine they'd be part of the minority that benefits from that kind of situation
It’s more of a cultural thing. Egalitarian society is bound to have a lot of stupid people having rights to manifest their opinions and that leads to lots of different phenomena and I think that technology (industrial revolution) just gave a chance for the ideas of Modern Time to spread. I am not really a unabomber kind of primitivist
Egalitarian society has everyone serving a purpose according to their abilities. There's always going to be some kind of general sense of right and wrong.
Rome was literally the exact system we have now where fake political parties under the control of the ruling class were used to decieve the people, just without technology. Im not a big fan of technology, especially considering the amount of "scientific achievements" that were complete hoaxes.
You're using a lot of words to say you want to live under a strict dictatorship.
Well, you can’t build totalitarianism without technology. And traditional society is a philophical and an aesthetic preference of mine. And I really don’t want to seem to be excessively trying to look smart. Ok, I am not interested in putting a serious effort to win a debate here, so I’ll just say that technology is by itself really bad
I'll agree with you here because even looking past the nonsense pseudo-intellectual language here I have absolutely no clue what point you're trying to make.
Technology is bad
Money is bad
News is fake
Politics is WWE for people who think they're too smart to watch wrestling
Nuclear weapons and space vehicles do not exist.
Is it normal that I utterly despise modern society?

What’s wrong with that? Actually I don’t think these numbers are accurate ( and I mean that there were more slaves in the roman empire)

Technology is so bad that it allows you a platform to easily share your ideas with anyone who has internet... mmmkkkaaaaayyy???????
If you really wanted, you could get this out to millions of people.
