Technology just accelerates the same outcomes.

Technology can accelerate the good as well as the bad. Those who give up their guns or other tech tools aren't necessarily good, just complacent. Lazy, even. Every technological advantage is always quickly overcome by new technologies. No one controls invention but ourselves.

Who is ourselves? You and I control nothing. It will be technology that enslaves us, becuase it can. It couldn't be more obvious. Furthermore you're missing my point or I'm not being clear. Good men will not do what bad men will do. Bad men will do whatever it takes to get ahead and the good men will not do what it takes to stop the bad man. IF a bad man will kill, rape, plunder, threaten, and rig to name a few but a good man won't, then what? Guns were just an example detailing what happens. In every country they took guns look what happened? It's not about giving up guns specifically, it's about good and bad men.

We're all bad. Most of us are usually restrained enough that we think ourselves good. Mostly a matter of circumstances. When society collapses, we'll see new depths of bad, in ourselves and others. We all have as much control of our circumstances as we choose to acquire. I use technology for my good all the time, as does everyone I know. No one controls us unless we permit it. Those who avoid tools are likely to be controlled by those who don't,
