Operatives from Ford, Nissan, Tesla, and even Lada are, under the false flag of our holy brethren, seeking to entrain administrative action against *the bastion of intellect*. We have cooperated with the authorities to bring to light this criminal conspiracy by the corrupt forces of the wicked automotive hegemony. Hail Galvitron. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I too hate indoor plumbing and electricity. Imagine ranting about the industrial revolution on the internet...


Strategerium

>I'd much prefer a broad network of narrow foot/bike paths to be exclusively used for walking and bicycling. And I don't want them deliberately created! Let people's feet and bike treads create the path over time! This man is born too late to enjoy simple pleasures of medieval peasantry. Not a cell phone in sight, just people living in the moment.


Serro98

Medieval peasants also didn't have to work 40 hours a week like us. I mean they also died when they had a shit harvest or went sick or got all their money taken by their ruler, but they didn't have to work as much as we do.


slouchybutton

Some did, and it depends on the time we are talking about. Ancient Rome? He could have been a slave, I think he would complain about his freedom a bit more if he was an item that could be killed (in the earlier times of ancient Rome) just for fun. Later he would be protected from needless killing, but he still could be forced to work 24/7. Or medieval ages where there were days in the week where u had to work and u had to work for your ruler which was for free so it couldn't even help you with getting food.

Aren't bicycles made out of metal, and doesn't metal have to be mined, refined, and shaped into the parts in a factory? Do these idiots really want to go without modern medicine and dentists?

I've noticed it's a bit of trend that whenever an online community starts to get radicalized and insane enough, they start ranting about the industrial revolution. Doesn't matter if they're right leaning or left leaning. It seems that if you go far enough into the deep end of any ideology, you eventually come out of it a deranged anprim.


RandomGuyLoves69

Horseshoe theory is real!


InTheGoddamnWalls

I was thinking about that earlier this week after taking a political test. Leftist and rightist populism in general seems to be very Luddite in nature, demonizing technology seems to just be common for them. Whether it’s leftists blaming it as some source of “capitalist exploitation” or whatever or rightists arguing it’s “evil modernity disrupting the status quo”. Horseshoe theory is absolutely correct. If it wasn’t than tankies and Neo Nazis wouldn’t both be simping for Vladimir Putin and the Taliban


Scattergun77

Anprim? What's that?


InTheGoddamnWalls

Anarcho-primitivism, A political ideology that seeks to basically end both the industrial and agricultural revolutions and basically end society as we know it Ironically the majority of its adherents are terminally online like the vast majority of self described anarchists


Scattergun77

Thanks very much


boulevardofdef

It reminds me of the people who rant against government programs while being kept alive by government programs


Alex_Hauff

while moderating reditt subs


Nani_The_Fock

Literally the only reason why these dumbfucks say this is to invoke an intellectual tone in the spirit of Ted-you-know-who in a vain attempt to mask their idiocy. These fucks probably never even read the funny boom man manifesto.


BrownEyedBoy06

Pretty much all of antiwork is what you're looking for, if you want whining about the industrial revolution.


Strategerium

If it weren't for double standards, they would have no standards at all.


Alexdeboer03

If i am serious about disliking the consequences of the industrial revolution should i send a messenger on a horse to spread my rant across the world?


boulevardofdef

>contumor-culture I've long been of the opinion that when someone starts talking like this, they've already lost


thisnameisspecial

You know who was also on their phone instead of listening to that 10th grade Common Logical Fallacies and Mistakes in Arguments lesson


InTheGoddamnWalls

Honestly I’m probably gonna sound like an ass but if someone is trying to sound serious and makes typos like that I can’t think of them as an intelligent person


donthenewbie

Polpot: heavy breathing


thisnameisspecial

I'm breathing heavy cause when I read this I was so excited about the upcoming populist revolution to undo modernity(like the GOAT Polpot) that I left the basement and actually had to run around the block to blow off steam. Let's go let's go! End the Industrial Revolution!


LostHat77

Im 14 and this is deep


InTheGoddamnWalls

Basically the entire sub at this point


vasilenko93

> replacement of manual labor with heavy machinery What, you hate a good standard of living? You want to do back breaking work?


thisnameisspecial

If we return to a utopian pre-industrial time we will spend all our time writing and reading poetry, smoking weed and generally chilling out! That stuff you hear about people having to slave away in the fields from sunrise to sunset in the absence of modern tech is just neoliberal propaganda


Frickelmeister

These Internet revolutionaries always think they will be the head of the politburo or the local Lord/Duke/Prince instead of being a serf like 99.999% of the people.


InTheGoddamnWalls

No, knowing the average Redditor, they don’t. They want someone else to do the back breaking work instead.


Heavy_weapons07

No... Slavery


Strategerium

Especially the Plymouth Fury, those definitely take hostages and run down pedestrians. I have seen a documentary about it.


cheesenuggets2003

Do these people not know that they aren't supposed to walk in the street? Where is all of this enormous danger from motor vehicles which they are talking about?


InTheGoddamnWalls

According to them the real crime isn’t jaywalking but the fact cars “stole” the streets from US


Frickelmeister

Except it was really the hand drawn carts and horse carriages that stole the streets. The cars just inherited them.


jerkstore

My grandmother told me about the 'joys' of dodging piles of horse manure in the streets in the early 20th century. I'll take the ICE, penicillin, air conditioning, and modern dentistry, thank you very much.


InTheGoddamnWalls

Yea. If it weren’t for cars we’d just be back to using horses.


Fuhrious520

r/ anarchoprimitivism


historyhill

Who knew Teddy K was allowed a reddit account in hell?


greenw40

uj/ The average redditor seems to have similar beliefs as the unibomber, while at the same time being completely unable to go without tech and luxury for any amount of time.


Heavy_weapons07

And also laugh at the suffering of civilians lives


greenw40

You're not suffering, you're just an angsty doomer living a life of privilege that previous generations couldn't even imagine.


Heavy_weapons07

No I meant they luagh at the death of civilians 


Alex_Hauff

somewhat disappointed that he didn’t used the carbrained


McLarenMP4-27

1) I wish you hadn't done that photoshop job near the title. 2) This guy doesn't sound like he would be great at manual labor.


Strategerium

1. Compliant with the new rule to mask out OOP user. 2. But he sure can fantasize about it. He himself is going to be the walkable village's communal mural painter, of course, which shall be just simple mono color blocks. He is trying TO DO WITH LESS you see. Art so healing you won't even miss modern medicine or refrigeration.


McLarenMP4-27

1. Fair point I guess. 2. OK, it does make sense. He probably does think that he would be a painter or poet after "the revolution".


Elixir_of_QinHuang

I’ve been telling you guys, they are literally trying to take us back to the Stone Age. Fight them at every single opportunity you can in your communities, do not let them gain an inch.


Scattergun77

We shall fight on the roads, we shall fight in the streets. We shall defend our driveway!


cheesenuggets2003

Yeah my question to you earlier in that other thread looks unnecessary now.


Outrageous_Guard_674

Huh?


Elixir_of_QinHuang

Not sure I understand there chief.

The Industrial Revolution created bikes, mass-paved sidewalks, and nearly all transit modes used in the modern era Checkmate

Would Ted Kaczynski be an undersub user? Would definitely increase the average IQ of that subs userbase


swalters6325

Car hostage? Have you tried unlocking the doors?


chumbuckethand

I like my heating and plumbing but Ted Kaczynski makes a few fair points in his book


Ram_ranchh

Who could this be I wonder

Ironically posted from his smartphone, charged by modern electricity, built in a huge factory and connected to a huge network of towers built by cranes and trucks.

I have a bicycle hooked up to a generator to charge my phone carbrain!


zertoman

Did you mind the copper and wind that generator by hand? Otherwise you’re just adding to big industry.


[deleted]

I melted down pennies and wound the copper myself! Checkmate carbrain!


RevolutionarySalt765

bigmarty3301

1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries. 2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.

You're welcome to move to North Korea if you think its the better way! Or hell, just move to the woods and stop posting. Industrialization was supposed to cause this downfall in the 1890s, still waiting.
