Do you guys ever think society will look back at this time period and think, as an example, "Those were the feminist years, son. You are so lucky that you weren't around when this was going on strong." I know it's probably a stretch, because society doesn't care about men unless it is framed that women are also harmed in some way, but it's a semblance of hope for me. 3 years MGTOW; being very awake to the injustices done towards men still gets me down because no one cares. No one cares about men. Companies, media outlets, courts, etc. have gotten away with exploiting us for money because they know that they can without repercussions. I just wish sometimes that we can do something to change society, instead of just unplugging. However, I know it is a useless endeavor.

I don't want to believe this... Honestly I have a difficult time even entertaining the thought. However I do think we've passed peak oil, I see that America is in full decline (and Europe, if the reports are even half as bad as they claim to be), and you're right most of us wouldn't have access to hardly any information stored on computers with a loss of electricity.

I read your comment this morning, but really had to wait to dedicate time and an actual keyboard (not mobile) to formulate the response this post deserves.
We live in a society of complex systems which are all built on top of each other. We wouldn't have the internet without computers, wouldn't have computers without electricity, and electrical systems are so complex that outsourcing information about them (electrical systems) must take place. If the grid fails, information fails. And who can repair the grid without the proper information? I think that modern society is completely dependent upon machines, for better or for worse.
When a level of complexity is reached that it is IMPOSSIBLE for any single person, or even a group of highly talented individuals to completely understand that system, it is also impossible to "regress" a level. Nobody actually understands the level underneath the one they're used to working with. When kids are "good with computers", that usually means they can use the interface, or perhaps even do some website development... but it's unlikely they understand C++, Assembly, or the logic gates and electricity that flows through 'em.
Our society and the complex systems that sustain it are so incredibly complicated that we are well beyond "regress" levels, if (when) a break in any one of the underlying systems takes place.
I know all this with my intellect. I also think society is in full decline (a drive through a major city or abandoned factory towns should provide adequate proof, if statistics aren't already enough proof). Yet somehow, I had not made the simple connection between the two. It makes me consider a) going off grid b) keeping essential information in "hard copy", either books or printing important and useful information c) going to bury my head in the sand and pretend I never heard about this shit and get married to a loving wife with a couple grateful children and a white picket fence and life happily ever after.... If only forgetting the painful truth of a matter were so easy.

And you would be better off actually saying nothing.
