Obviously they have their faults. As a heavily disabled person I’m very much against an anprim revolution because it would lead to my death. But at the same time, my disability would not have existed if it weren’t for modern society. I got disabled by a COVID infection. Viral pandemics at the scale of COVID just wouldn’t exist in a hunter gatherer world as the decentralised nomadic low population nature of it does not give it a sufficient viral resevoir to keep sustaining itself. (Hunter Gatherer groups are maybe 20-150 people large, and rarely, like once or twice year, come in contact with others, so the virus wouldn’t be able to survive).
