I Despise Modern Society

Modern society disgusts me.
It's superficiality is sickening. The corporations that are the wealthiest produce nothing but baubles and trinkets, no technological advancement in these corporations actually creates a "better" product. Instead, it merely aids corporations in producing more of these goods faster and cheaper. Afterall, how do you make a purse or a pair of shoes any better? You can't reinvent the wheel.
When I go to work, I have no idea who I am working for. The "chain of command" is so mind bogglingly long that there are managers who's jobs are to travel across an entire tri-state area just to inspect 10% of the locations of the company. Even the manager of my store barely makes enough money to scrape by, working 50-70 hours a week on a salary.
I have access to all of the information I could possibly dream of, but it is contaminated by political agendas that are pushed by the very companies that disseminate this information. In order to have some sort of rudimentary understanding of an event, I would have to spend many hours trying to piece together statistics and timelines, dissecting fact from charged language and false assumptions. And by the time I would have done all that, the event is no longer relevant to the general public.
In topics such as economics, medical care, history, and others, extremely complicated discussions are distilled into mere seconds of blurbs spouted by pundits and politicians, rendering the subject a sad, castrated form of it's former self, beat into a pulp in order to be transmuted to fit political agendas and regurgitated into the public's open, hungry mouths.
The hyper-acceleration of information technology has given us the ability to be many times more educated than the richest scholars ever could have dreamed of even a century ago, yet this gift unparalleled is used to fulfill hedonistic desires, becoming a hub for entertainment, which today is mind-melting fast form content.
I am expected to consume this filth called news to learn of current events, am expected to spend vast sums of money on pieces of fashioned cloth and leather, am expected to spend my free time getting drunk with friends. Because I am a 20 year old man in 2024.
And I will do these things, because I have few other options, and feel an inherent need to be assimilated into an abstract social structure.
Please, do not mistake this as a call for anarchy, or a communist uprising, or an introduction to any sort of political thesis. I do not wish to tear this system apart from the rotten roots, as this would cause immense suffering worldwide, and would leave billions of people that are not as materially fortunate as I to even greater poverty than they currently experience. -

Bitcoin is going to be banned in every country so it's pointless. All third world countries desire strongly to be regulated western bank nations that follow the international order
Venezuela and Vietnam were places I was looking at but upon further inspection of their legal systems I determined that every nation state is beyond corrupt at this point. Even if you built a colony in space someone would try to tax you
You could go full skitzo and move to the jungle of South America like Jonestown or Galts Gulch but then you become embroiled in local politics and get into gun fights with mercenaries when the government tries to REGULATE you

Yes, I've thought from time to time about moving to Brazil and working on a cocoa bean plantation. I don't have enough money to just pick up and leave though. Maybe I'll do it when my family is dead. -
