The synthesis is collapse accelerationism. Accelerate the techno-commercial process in order for it to burn itself out completely.

After that we'll end up in a world with no accessible fossil fuels left. Global industrial civilisation will fall apart. Enormous amounts of people will die, in the developed world easily 90%. There will be mass simultaneous nuclear meltdown and maybe even nuclear war in the last fearful years of civilisation, things will go to shit for almost all people and a lot of non-human life, but in the rubble some will survive and will necessarily return to a pre-industrial way of life.

Some of the remnants will remain of course, people will dwell in concrete buildings as if they are caves and ride bicycles along cracked abandoned highways with old Kalashnikovs slung on their back. But we'll never again have access to resources that fuelled the first industrial revolution and will never have a second one. Social structures will revert to those most fitting to a pre-industrial life. The traditionalists will get their way in the end.
