I'm so disgusted by people (myself included) that it's unreal. I can hardly believe there isn't a break-away culture or counterculture in opposition to inane woke idiocy yet, but anybody with the will to do so lacks the means, and anybody who gains the means loses the will. The modern world is hopelessly atomized and individualist with a nauseating veneer of "care" and "social justice" slapped on top of everything - to the detriment of everything. We don't tend to notice it, because we're so materially well-supplied and motivationally pacified, but we're slaves to technocapital. My most dearly-held fantasy is that we're hit with a solar flare that instantly wipes out most communications/information technology.

Lmfao. What the hell are you talking about bro? You need to explore the world a bit more. There are thousands of subcultures in the US. They just don't have the mainstream publicity.

Anywhere from Religious cults to racial supremacy groups, Americas got em.

There is. It's called "normal people". Those who have kids, go to work, maybe every now and then browse facebook and laugh at boomer memes, etc. They usually live outside of cities but not always.

What are you talking about? You ever went to school? In a matter of years you get to know 30-40 people in your class. Maybe you wont be friends with most of them, and some of them you probably havent had very many conversations with, but you know of them, and they know of you. Now imagine that instead of going to school at the appropriate age, you grew up with all of these people around you all the time. You most certainly would get to know 100 people very quickly. If not you're a literal sperg, and even then I dont think tribes are very predisposed to breeding spergs.

Huxley's essays were commonly about the dangers of modernity and oversocialization. Not to mention BNW.

Jung's work on the "persona", too.

More positive a fantasy than mine. I want a new radical Islamic group to 9/11 us again. I guess they don't have to be Muslim necessarily, but apparently I can't trust the Russians to do it, and I gave up on North Korea long ago.
