If the Amish didn't exist, you could argue that resisting the temptations of Communism/modernity is a superhuman task. Nobody could possibly be expected to succeed. "Mortals are simply too weak."
But the Amish do exist.
If you live in an aristocracy, and you don't want to decay into a timocracy, all you have to do is say no. Identify decay as a temptation, and decline. That's it. That's all.
Mortal societies decay because mortals demand decay. More worse more better.

Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
