What are the best critiques of mass society and technology? I'm trying to make a list.
So far I have the obvious ones like Heidegger and Guenon.

Also, things like disenchantment / dialectic of Enlightenment, obviously.
Maybe the Unabomber Manifesto
My man Evola.
neil postman - amusing ourselves to death
Walden, Walking, and Life without Principle by H.D. Thoreau
...
Interesting thread
Ernst Jünger
Lewis Mumford's classic Technics and Civilization. Great writer, but the sociological orientation may prove too thin for your taste.
Guy Debord
The Unabomber's Manifesto
Not a critique strictly but Max Weber writes about the disenchantment that comes with the rationalisation/industrialisation of Western societies
Baudrillard maybe too, if hes not too much of downer for you
Why is every thread on this board right wing lately?
>dialectic of Enlightenment
Jacques Ellul - The Technological Society is exactly what you're looking for.
For a primitivist from a very different background from most of the thinkers mentioned itt you could try Camatte, he was originally a communist. Also lots of anarcho-primitivist writers like Zerzan.
I think they learned to read so they can see what's in The Art of The Deal.
Pretty much everything in the right hand column.
This
>Lord of the Rings is "reactionary right"
It's about a multi-ethnic coalition working against an expansionist military regime. Plus weed-smoking Hobbits.
It's about the creation of a pan-European empire that bands together to defend itself from hordes of violent and unintelligent brown people
It's about environmentalist guerrilas taking down an industrial facility
Canetti, Reich, Freud are a good start
>drumpf voters are stupid lmao
could you have made a more useless post?
