Which was what pretty much was happening during the middle ages at full blown proportions.

It was not perfect but it could be worst : rapes, murders and thieves were severely punished and wouldn't have been in anarchist system

As some French authors described the de-christianization destroyed the cement which united every individual within a society, they had all a common cause.
The de-christianization led the people towards the individualism, the apathy, the egocentricity, the miserliness, the indifference and degeneration.

Arguably, that has been due to technologicalisation.

The Middle Ages - it is a time of honor, Spirit and asceticism, Spiritual peak of white civilization.

Not really. The Middle Ages didn't really have unemployment troubles. The taxes seldom went above 15%, but were more often closer to the 10% mark. For most people today, this is nearly one third or half of the tax currently being paid. Unlike most of our countries today, there were no lobbyists, and governments (mostly ruled over by Kings) were not prone to switching policies every other year. Food prices were relatively constant, and people didn't need to spend half their income paying off debts for things they didn't need. Also, no genetically modified food, no chemicals, no intensive farming, no need for the "organic" label.
