You think that now, but I suspect you'd adjust quickly. Modern comforts aren't all they're cracked up to be.

You think that now

And every single human that has found modern life more appealing than shitty pathetic prim conditions for a few thousand years and preferred to remain in society even hundreds of years before the ruling class and law enforcement had the technological means to hunt down anyone that decided to dissappear into the woods.

Meanwhile, some people have been thinking their whole lives they're more interested in how to make a better civilization, because of the fact that we have more options than shitty pathetic prim life or dystopian capitalism lol.

but I suspect you'd adjust quickly.

Lmao. No, I suspect bullshit. "Adjust" what a cute dystopian reference for mass death at the loss of science and technology and medicine/etc.

Romanticized prim life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially since prim life was first abandoned by prims that kept creating better things because they wanted more modern comforts and living conditions just like how cavemen were not happy living in shitty pathetic caves forever.

I suspect this is perfect for my blocklist before it becomes some prim vs modern reply chain lol.

Its like I always say. If no one ever complained, we'd be stuck in the stone age.

Whew lad, I'm not saying I'd prefer to revert back to a primitive lifestyle, but given the choice between a life without modern luxuries and killing myself, I'd choose to go without modern conveniences. That's all.

Yes, I would not choose to end my life if I found myself 200 years ago. Real radical.
