      This might be true if the investment in society, infrastructure and lower classes always had been the same or same direction. After wwii it changed drastically and in favor of the working class and those in need, and society benefited greatly from it, there’s datapoints to show this to be true. Then there was a backlash from the wealthy to all the civil rights movements, labor movements and those investments were pulled back strategically. This is new, because it isn’t a continual trend over time, but that pull back has continued from the 1970s to today’s date.

        I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, in either comment.

        Just know that every generation has had the capacity to point at the things that were done because the data exists and the lived experience exists.

        Just wait till we discover the novel and fun ways our generations fuck over the earth.

          Well at least these generations will have the excuse of real scarcity and hoarding by the ultra wealthy that are armed with ai murderbots. That’s fun.
