“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”

[Monster Energy]

2030 is not just a year.

It’s a deadline.

You’d rather talk about how to date a trans person than discuss what may be one of the most important issues facing society today.

Pathetic.

Here's the original article where that glorious catchphrase came from:

It's a fictional story of a future techno utopia but it's pretty ludicrous and reads a bit like 1984. You'd almost think it's parody but it's categorized as an essay.

You will own nothing and you will be miserable.

That's the real plan.

You are a genius😁

You automatically become happy when you don't own anything. Memory keeps you thinking you own nothing you dont have to think. Its the way of Earth. You dont even own your own body.

How free are you?

You think a bird owns its nest?

Its a fiction to own something.

The feeling is still real, and at the end of the day, that’s what people care about. Not theories. Not ideals. Feelings.

Sure, in some perfect fantasy world, nobody owns anything. Sounds great.

But when I say nobody, I mean nobody. Not us, and definitely not the bastards sitting at the top pulling the strings.

If nobody had all the power, all the wealth, and all the control, maybe the idea would actually work.

But that’s not the world we live in.

There’s a split. A few people hold the cards, and everyone else is told it’s a fair game.

That’s the problem.

Ask the Aboriginals how owning nothing worked out for them when the British settlers came in.

It's wild how someone can genuinely come to believe that living in a completely centralized surveillance state is somehow a good thing.
