I am being sarcastic but not in the way you think. It is totally possible to live a primitive lifestyle. I've gone as far as I can by living off grid for a few years. One year on solar, a year without any electricity, and another year mixed. It had benefits, but to forage, collect water, maintain shelter, etc.... it's a full time job. If you want to live without using any modern technology at all (which is very difficult just to start, let alone maintain), you are working from dusk til dawn, freezing your ass off in between, and rationing like hell.
It's a good exercise, but it is an awful way of life. And no, modern living is not mandatory. At least in the USA. You are technically allowed to live in federally managed wilderness as long as you move at least 5 miles once every two weeks (I've gone as long as nine months without being harassed though).
you still used tech, they want to go even further and think it would be less work which you may be aware of

I'll give you that you can live without some technology, maybe a little bit, somewhere, but it is basically mandatory because if the society that you've gone primitive in (in this case, the U.S.) didn't have technology (like defense systems) then another country could come in and take over. It basically becomes mandatory
