Characterizing Uncle Ted as being against technology is leftist slander. What Uncle Ted was against is modern industrial society and the social and psychological effects that it causes. To give a theoretical example of an industrial society that works, look at the Based Skaven. They have creations that would make us seem primitive but are also incapable of any form of leftist thought (as each one is incapable of feelings of inferiority), all success and advancement is demanded to be built on a foundation of pulling oneself by their bootstraps and each one lives an authentic existence free of any surrogate activities.
