I would trade the technology and longer life expectancy for a healthier and shorter life. A life where I am freer than a modern man and the people around me are nicer and more genuine. Also a life where women are not complete whores and having a happy marriage is a possibility.
Instead of it I am a prisoner of my house monitored by government 24/7 and lonely. Any activity I can come up with is in at least some way regulated by the government. I am surrounded by mindless people that are worse than religious fanatic.
The world around me is crumbling and has no future. In an odd chance of my successful reproduction my child will be taken away by government and brainwashed to go against me. My female companion will cheat on me and destroy our shared household.
And I can't even escape in the nature to avoid the hell that is modern civilization. I would probably be found and forced into civilization to "help me" or get arrested for living off the land.
can only personally recommend regions i would like to live in; of course there are many other good choices that i know less about. borneo has abundant wilderness and nepal also, they are very cheap to live in, money that would last days in north america and europe can last months in nepal. i would say both regions require a fair amount of familiarity with raw plant nutrition and healing (on an experiential and intuitive level; mainstream nutritionists mostly get things wrong. we thrive on botanical fruit flesh and tree plants and also flower blossoms and stem nectars and pitj and such). personally i live in tents on campgrounds in catalunya and andorra, can be more specific if you like, am trying to bring in big lotus belle tents and such to offer affordable shelter for travelers and that totally includes anons. i can offer advice for this sort of lifestyle yet i am unsure i can recommend it to people who don't have a fallback option like staying with family or friends. then again, taking on excessively expensive apartment or mortgage costs on one's own is not any easier unless it affords proximity to a high-paying career space/region. i don't know if land costs will become sensible again to facilitate growth of more campsites and the increased ease of nomadicism that could come with that. anyway thanks for reaching out and expressing yourself, many of us here are feeling that way. stay strong, things will quite likely improve dramatically with time, just gotta weather some societal storms first. take good care~

They are not mutually exclusive.
>I would probably be found and forced into civilization
Not sure. You can build a underground shelter in Iceland and access internet through satelite. Just need money.
I know that we could have a modern healthy technologically advanced society. But that is not the case so I am comparing two real periods of time. Anything else would be talking about almost a fantasy world where technology didn't corrupt people to have fast sex with strangers.
Moving to another country would require living there illegaly which means that as a squatting foreigner I could be deported or sent to a shitty 2nd world prison.

Why? You can get permanent residency for nearly any country. Some are difficult (such as Japan), others are easy (such as Canada).
in places like thailand, border-crossing into Laos or Cambodia is enough to renew one's visa and the bus fares are quite reasonable. this isn't idyllic though nor is it free, gotta have the time and money. elsewhere i feel it is a matter of becoming useful to the locals. if one is living in an interesting and inspiring way then getting written/printed references periodically ought not be too difficult, and those can be used to get extended visas and work permits to avoid dealing with automaton police who often can't think outside the narrow written laws. it takes 144 hours for the average worker in Nepal to make $1 though so police (who are probably a lot more chill there than most countries) can probably be bribed in emergencies. most humans cannot keep up with a wilderness wanderer also so once one has that level of physiological health and athleticism and nature-awareness then it is fairly simplistic to avoid guards and such. there are probably a lot of places to train the body cheaply, personally i know of Chanthaburri, Chaing Mai, and maybe Bangkok (unsure of the living expenses there) in Thailand and i am working at improving Empuriabrava and Andorra in the Catalunya region, as well as probably Fermo, Italy and the Barcelona-Citavecchia ferry route bridging these regions. Will work at improving a lot of places but it takes a while to bring living costs way below the local average and i can't personally invest years of time and effort into each region travelled through. anyway another good option perhaps is to join some Vietnamese Buddhist monks, their plants are a bit higher-energy and sweeter than most ashram and monastery food. am not aware of cheap fruitarian communities at the moment aside from the areas i mentioned in Thailand where a lot of foreigners go to run and cycle and swim affordably on high-botanical-fruit-flesh diets. there are surely lots of wonderful pockets yet to be popularized. Kerala, India for example, and likely some unknown towns in the regions you are most attracted to
