What are your personal beliefs on the Industrial Revolution?

It was fucked up for sure. but I think it’s realistically impossible to return to a pre-industrial society or even to reign in the advance of technology into a more curated and limited mode. I see the world becoming much more violent in the next 50 years.

Automation has existed for thousands of years. The industrial revolution has been far less radical and far less detrimental to the West than the death of Tradition™.

The unibomber was an envious crybaby, the most detrimental thing in our modern world is that moral education stops after the age of 5.

Also, we are a superstitious bunch of niggers who think that in order to maintain democracy we need to cultivate ignorance and gossip.

I, too, want to form a cult in the middle of the woods. Too bad the CIA is on my ass, goddamn commies.

It was a good thing, because now we can get stuff for cheap. Before most products were only for rich people, mass production allowed the masses to own what only the rich could own.

I can't be the only one who has a strong urge to breed this chick every time this image is posted.....

Anyway, you can't decouple the death of tradition and technological progress. Tradition and technological progress are incompatible and no one has yet convinced me otherwise.

Came here to post this:

The death of tradition is closely related to the forward progression of technology.
Hence why modern conservatism is sham. There is nothing to conserve if you aren’t attempting to halt technological progress.
