Books that argue against society, civilization, technology, progress? I'm tired of seeing people fall for this garbage time and time again and want to reinforce my (correct) worldview.

Unironically this
This whole back to nature shit is such a pathetic larp. If you want to go to nature, just do it pussy, it’s already out there. You won’t because you’re a pussy and because technology objectively improves life, but whatever. Sorry that reading bullshit on Twitter gives you an existential crisis and you haven’t realized your computer literally has an off switch

>> No.20885570

All the shiny gadgets and gizmos and wonders of science mean jack shit if the inner world of man is in complete shambles. The "progress" we currently see combined with the absolute state of modern man's spiritual condition all but guarantees that the majority of people will surrender their human spirit entirely to the promises of science and technology instead of trying to cultivate any sort of inner transformation that would allow one to transcend the cares of the material world entirely. What we've lost can hardly even be articulated because it's too immense. The imminent global control grid under the banner of the new religion of science will all but solidify the outright destruction of man's inner world and the final enslavement of the species. But for books, I'd suggest Modern Man In Search Of A Soul, The Undiscovered Self, Revolt Against The Modern World, The Book Of Disquiet, The Perennial Philosophy, The Exegesis Of PKD. Cheers.

Books are literally an integral part of the formation of societies and civilizations. A (relatively) common knowledge base sets a group of people apart and binds them together. If you really hate society so much, fuck off to some savannah like a bush man. No book required.

the point is that people like OP consider technology immoral and want to change the course humanity is taking
if people who are opposed to nature started just going out in nature by themselves and "ditching" the society, well it could work for a few generations, until the city dwellers reach even the last patches of nature at which point it will no longer be possible

David Skrbina takes the best elements of Ted and refines + integrates it into a more realistic anti-industrial plan.
They were both friends too but have some disagreements. I recommend getting Philosophy of Technology off libgen because for some odd reason the physical copy is very expensive. I think someone once inquired about this to Skrbina, and he said it was out of his control.

Real facts. The global oligarchy know that fossil fuels are going to vanish fairly soon, so they’re backing us into our corners. They want a return to serfdom, and some of their cucks are super cool with that. But the through the chaos of civilizational collapse we’ll become more decentralized than ever. Globalization will crumble, but we shouldn’t ever allow a full return to medieval lords ruling
