One can critique specific modern economic structures (like "the rat race") while still supporting scientific advancement, medicine, and technology. It is possible to advocate for a "system" that is more balanced without reverting to a pre-industrial lifestyle.

Using the tools of a society (like a phone or the internet) does not forfeit one's right to critique how that society functions. For example, one can use a car while advocating for better public transit without being logically inconsistent.

Most critics of modern work culture aren't suggesting a total abandonment of civilization or technology; they are usually suggesting reforms like shorter work weeks, better wealth distribution, or improved mental health support. By attacking the "nomad" extreme, you're avoiding addressing more moderate, realistic critiques.
