If technology is war, then "stagnation" is peace. And technology, at least the way that Capitalist society does technology, is war more or less on the status quo. You could do technology other ways where this would not be the case, but then that would force you to think differently then the way you are thinking now where war is good.
I am not arguing here that Capitalism does not work, it works very well... I am not arguing banning technology either. All that I am arguing is that there are other paradigms outside of those where technology is progress and progress is good. This paradigm is a very convincing paradigm because of how well it works in Capitalist society and how it generates wealth and helps accumulate power.
