In reply to the discussion: Why baby boomers' grandchildren will hate them [View all]Newest Reality
(12,712 posts)No, no, and no! That would be their delusion, then. That article is way off point and just continues a false narrative. It is the failure to see through the veil and deal directly with the Military Industrial State and its Oligarchical Elite that are now very close to finalizing full ownership of all land, resources, capital and means.
It is more likely that those grandchildren will be living in a corporately controlled, Feudal Serfdom that was and is being fashioned for them by our National Oligarchy. How many of us has totally agreed to things going the way they have and were not just responding to the way the system was working us?
By that time, there will be nothing that they own and their only concerns might be the social credits that the technocrats have put into place. They will be lucky if they have survived the decimation of large parts of the population by then and able to spend all of their time serving Feudal Lords an their families who not only own everything in the World, but have erected safe enclaves of luxury for themselves.
Though most everything will be AI and automated, those grandchildren will fill in any gaps that robotics cannot provide and they will be chattels of the wealthy in a new form of unbreakable slavery for as long as what is left of culture survives.
I am sorry, that article is pure mythology and is typical of playing false dichotomies with the people. This one is pitting generations against each other in order to divert attention from the truth. I don't buy into that anymore. They make it sound like Boomers were plotting something and that the massive transfer of wealth, (and welfare and exclusive welfare to corporations) to a small number of people is their fault in ways other than being totally bamboozled and failing to see the truth of it.
So, the only fault I can say really contributes to what those generations will get is the ongoing ignorance that prevails.
