Uncle Ted doesnt really delve into the definition of technology much, its more of a more colloquially written interpretation of the works of Jacques Ellul. The idea was to make people aware of the technological society which we are integrating our selves more and more into and its imminent consequences.


>“Technique has penetrated the deepest recesses of the human being. The machine tends not only to create a new human environment, but also to modify man's very essence. The milieu in which he lives is no longer his. He must adapt himself, as though the world were new, to a universe for which he was not created. He was made to go six kilometers an hour, and he goes a thousand. He was made to eat when he was hungry and to sleep when he was sleepy; instead, he obeys a clock. He was made to have contact with living things, and he lives in a world of stone. He was created with a certain essential unity, and he is fragmented by all the forces of the modern world.” - 'The Technological Society', Jacques Ellul

This one was a pretty good reference he made, though. But yeah, leftoids like Fisher are a little cringe because their ideas aren't that new, but they still find ways to coat it in obnoxious language.

civil war is unlikely, without the military (which they won't have), ethnonationalists make up <30% of the population and all their leaders are geriatrics, sell outs, or both. The youth is very progressive so likely lots of social policy and maybe economic policy on the horizon but we could be looking at problems with resources which would make all of this irrelevant.
