I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad, that having a homestead, 5+ kids and neighbors you know by name — which used to be the standard for the majority of people in the Western world — has become a mere dream, nothing short of an Utopia, for people my age and younger. What’s especially sad is that people don’t even seem to want to recognize that being the case and keep telling themselves we live in a “developed” society. Or, if they do dare to recognize the fact, they tend to blame “late-stage capitalism” (which is not capitalism — it’s communism; or — an utterly and irredeemably crony capitalism at best) for the situation.
Wake up, Neo. Look into the abyss. It’s painful. But there is truth in there.
