There is a new line of thought emerging recently that says that the generation of people who were born - lived from 1950 to 2000 was the exception, a quirk case of “better future”, “stable employment”, “increasing wealth”, etc. and we shouldn’t expect it to be that way anymore: that all of the history before and all of the history after that time was and will be dominated by poverty, uncertainty, no health care, pensions, jobs etc.
This is a typical right wing - conservative - protect the rich and don’t give anything to anyone who isn’t a superstar, or who somehow “deserves it” ideology based on a form of resource scarcity myth: there is not enough health care, jobs, houses, etc. for everyone. The 60s - 70s are over, that was an exception, expect to be poor and not have anything anymore.
And everyone is easily buying it, really believes that we have all these debts, that health care must cost oh so much money, that there is not enough for pensions, that there is not enough houses, everything must increase in price, colleges must cost ever more, etc. They are all brainwashed in all of this BS, they all approve all this BS.
This is false, the truth is the exact opposite, there has never been a time of greater wealth, excess capacity, technology, know how, etc. and possibility to give the basics to a very small amount of humans, only 10 billion which is nothing at all compared to how how much wealth and productive capacity we have sitting idle.
This wealth, this possibility to give everything to everyone was achieved by the application of Science and Technology towards production, this is the end result, the success of 100 years of Research and Innovation and Services and trillions of dollars invested worldwide in knowledge that have finally achieved the goal to give all to everyone (while they always talk about more research and innovation, the real problem is to distribute equally the results we have achieved, otherwise what is the talk of research and innovation all about anyways ?)
But we have a cave man right wing thug ideology that wants everyone to believe that we have all these huge debts, that there is not enough wealth and jobs for everyone: bottom line is if you don’t give the free salaries and cheap rent homes to everyone, the rich will just hog it all up, that money isn’t going to go anywhere better, so either it is distributed to all or only a small minority will rob it.
We need free salaries, cheap rents, high quality homes, free health care and especially HUGE SCALE PROJECTS THAT EMPLOY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. It is much harder for all those unemployed to sit idle 8 hours a day instead of working towards a common goal. People want and need jobs, they are not lazy slobs.
And even if there is a minority who wants to sit at home and watch TV all day or play video games, well guess what ? an entire industry employing millions is based on other millions being idle and consuming movies and TV and video games. We have had enough of this “hard work”, “you are lazy”, “you have to earn it and deserve it” BS and guilt complex, because if there weren’t millions of idle people consuming, entire industries would not exist and millions more would become unemployed.
Another myth is democracy (attacking the Chinese with nobel prizes), so the idea is you can all fight amongst each other as long as the basics and what really counts is not guaranteed : jobs, health care is optional but you are free to fight and argument all your different views and lifestyles, what a ripoff.
And also we fight absurd wars, we fight wars with one hand tied on our backs, we have to be careful to be “good” and not kill “civilians” in Afghanistan: when what we should do is either carpet bomb the whole country back to the stone age (and give them democracy) or just get out, like the russians did, since they knew that you can’t win a war there.
We need huge government - and private company conglomerates creating huge planet size and solar system sized projects hiring millions for things like billions of skyscrapers on Venus, billions of giant ocean liner ships and zeppelins all across Jupiter and Saturn since they are ocean - gas planets.
