i have a oretty general idea of what dialetics is about, but im kinda curious if theres room for like regression in it. would probably require some kind of huge disaster like earth losing its magnetic field or some doomsday scenario, but im still curious, is there like a few social constructs or institutions that if we lost it tomorrow, we'd be kicked back to the stone age in terms of economic development?
I genuinely believe that in the event of such a scenario that there would be these societies. It's not really based on anything other than observations over the years.
I think a lot of people would find solace in media and such and you'd genuinely get a bunch of people larping as Mad Max villains, royalty, Romans, the Brotherhood of Steel etc. Society is gone, why would you not LARP? What else is there?
I don't think it would happen naturally but I think media has placed an idea of what an apocalypse looks like and would "artificially" try to recreate that. Not sure how successful these groups would be either. Depends on how LARP they are overall.
Watching people react to COVID by being like "haha what if it mutated into zombie virus" makes me believe this more. A lot of people can't imagine a pandemic that doesn't look like a zombie movie.
