    Literally what happened to our grandparents and parents after World War 2. And then the subsequent generation will grow up in abundant wealth, developing a greedy attitude and cause corruption, resulting in social angst which will be exploited by demagogues. Then a new system emerges which promises a better life, but that system breeds yet another spoiled generation that will cause corruption which yet again causes social upheaval that will be exploited by ambitious individuals.

    Rinse and repeat.

      There’s a lot of good boomers out there protesting Ice. A lot of them also fought for civil rights and gay rights. I think a lot of what we’re dealing with is the fact that our system rewards the greediest most selfish individuals in the colonialist hierarchy because it a terrible system.
