I reject it...but something tells me I might reject your solution too

What is your solution, and what do you think my solution is?

Okay, i'll bite. lol.

I hate the lack of autonomy in modern life. The authoritarianism and collectivism have become too stifling.

You strike me as an authoritarian and a theist, so I am skeptical I would be on board with any of your proposed solutions.

You didn't offer a solution, you just said what you hate.

I am not authoritarian. Theism is irrelevant, I don't want to impose my beliefs on anyone.

Want to try again, or should I just explain my solutions?

OK, sounds good Schmidt, hit me with what you got, I'm curious.

To physically escape modern culture, one can move to the Mennonite area in north Mexico as discussed in /s/ConservativeExodus. I am trying to convince my wife to move.

If you are Christian, you could join the conservative Mennonites. I am not Christian.

One can choose an alternate culture from history or religion and follow that instead of modern culture. I follow the Old Testament.

To escape from the modern human gene pool, you can become Arkian. I did.

What's the alternative? Getting along with people here? Because this community has done nothing but gaslight and verbally abuse me since I showed up. So yes, I think I cherish modern society and their normie brain approach to life.

No I hate normies

[–]fschmidt[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

So what are you then? What culture/ethnicity? Or just nothing?

I'm a proud incel-american

That sounds modern to me. A schizophrenic member of modern culture may not be a "normie" but they are still modern.

Honestly, I'm a member of "modern culture" depending on how modern we are going for.

Just go outside and look at the people around you. Are you a member of their culture?
