NRx are borderline autistic nerds that were bullied in high school so they want to prove that they're not sissies by promoting extreme meritocracy.
are they wrong tho? one could argue we enjoy higher quality of life despite progressivism/liberalism/capitalism, not because of it
one could argue feudalism would be much better now that we have the technology than modernity
one could argue improvement in our quality of life is because of technology and it has nothing to do with modernity, that in fact modernity is decreasing our quality of life and that its all purely related to new technologies
either that or i just really hate modernity for some reason i cant even explain, at least in feudalism you knew what was fucking what and you had to deal with a lot less bullshit, things were nice and simple if nothing else, i imagine you didnt have to deal with all the bullshit like sports, fashion, fake pleasantries, having to indulge people that they are important, celebrity cults (you could argue kings were also celebrity culture but at least they had an army or something, these modern celebrities dont even have that), random pretentious cunts everywhere who you have to pretend are important or smart for some unknown fucking reason, concerned busybodies who just cant mind their own fucking business and leave you alone, a whole bunch of annoying fucking cunts who have no right or reason to talk to you but they do anyway and you gotta smile and respond back or problems happen
feels like back in the day ALL the bullshit was condensed in just 1 village priest, you had to pretend for 2 minutes a week when he was around and that was it, and also there was always infinite wilderness you could escape to permanently and have your peace which we just dont have today, there's no wilderness anywhere, there's nowhere to fucking go anymore, you have to dance to their tune and you cant even take your chance elsewhere fighting bears with wooden spears instead even if you would fucking rather do that on a bad day
i dont know lately i feel so angry and mad at paying fines or social fines for not voting or saying the approved thing around my circle of "friends" who are imposed on me that i wish reactionaries or fucking anyone else was in charge of things, even if i had to plant turnips without mechanization my whole life and give away half of them and live without electricity or dentist
its not like you cant live a happy life in a wooden shack making moonshine your whole life, its the other people around you who make all the problems, at least back in the day you could escape somewhere in raw nature, even raw nature is more pleasant with all the crawling things and diseased ticks everywhere than waiting at post office, having to change someone elses flat tire, pay phone bill you absolutely fucking never use, smile till your cheeks are numb, chat about absolutely fucking nothing, listen to utterly pointless lectures from random nonames who just have to lecture to you, endure someone elses vile brats screaming near you, insist on bullshit you do not fucking want to insist on, guess ill stop here
The Committee of Public Safety analyzed it over 200 years ago and answered accordingly.
i understand your sentiments entirely but a lot of what you say is idealization. you also need to realize that embracing feudalist society comes with a whole set of other problems that only seem trifling from our shit society now. but they're real. rituals of deference, real and not just subjective hierarchies that have social and physical consequences for disobedience, legal inequality explicit in law, mystification simplifies things but also comes with its own emotional burdens and a sense of helplessness from forces that seem out of one's control when really they can be through reason and such.
One could argue that the base shapes the superstructure.
You don't know anything about anything.
I assure you that most of your annoyances would not go away in traditional societies.

The answer is not to be against modernization, but to push it further. Modernity gave us individualism and atomization, which is what you're asking for I think, but this atomization still has strings attached in the sense that one must lick the boots of the elites and play believe the symbolic order they impose on us is real, just in order to be allowed to live in their feif, call it nation-state, call it republic, but it's still a feif. Modernity isn't done until all the elites have been guillotined.
