We have the most physical wealth when compared to any other time, but you still have to live poor because some people can print money and some can't. The whole point is to put you on a hamster wheel to chase the fake money. What is the purpose of having you in the hamster wheel? What is the whole net system supposed to drive toward? To drive even more comparative economic control to those who can print money as if they didn't already have absolute control locked down.
And for them to have comparatively more economic control when they already have everything they want can only be achieved by removing your control, options, and abilities. If they have the ability to order the destruction of any county on the planet, which I suspect they do, and you have the ability to buy a house, the only way to expand the gap between you and them is to make it harder for you to buy a house. Economic power is the ability to drive will. They really fear the people. They fear if people were to wise up then maybe all our abilities put together could equal their own.
If you look at the lowest peasant in society, any society, it will look dystopic compared to what you expect because your expectations are set by the average.
Compare that peasant lifestyle to a peasant life 200 years ago and then you will see how much things have actually improved. He has a phone, a car, AC, he's fat, goes out drinking every weekend, etc.
Of course taxes are too high and are stolen or squandered. But doomers like this always want more welfare and higher taxes.
If you live like him you fucked up, and more than once. You were also let down by your family and friends.
I just saw a dude who clearly has had his entire existence wrecked by drugs hardly able to function as anything that could be called human, and so his path will be to move further and further along that line until he is dust, and he's almost there.
At least the lowest peasant in an old society is a whole man.

They're not asking the biggest question of all: why. Why do they have a job? Because they want things, be it to live, or for leisure (or to compete with the jones'). They want things. In order to get the things they want, they exchange time (job). If they change their fucking perspective, stop the desire of meaningless things, and don't do what they think they must do, they might just live a different life.

people get jobs because they don't know how to live in the wilderness. And if you try the government will most likely come for you if you don't pay taxes for existing. Things include food, shelter, clothing. not just iphones and avocado toast. What kind of life plan are you imagining that doesn't include a job of any kind? or am I misunderstanding you in some way?
Stream the Waltons for a glimpse of an earlier time. 3 Generations , sometimes 4 living in the same house on the same land. Grandparents helped take car of kids, until kids took care of grandparents...
The more people that start realising this is the reality, the closer we come to forming parallel economies and parallel societies that will benefit White Nationalism.
Our democracy has come a long way, and we should be proud of how far we've come. Those who long for the "good old days" of authoritarianism and fascism need to realize that our modern, liberal society is the best place to be. They should embrace change and celebrate our progress, instead of trying to turn back the clock
Here's the best thing: if he suggests good changes his company could do to help him, he'll be called a communist. He'll also be told it's black people and muslim "terrorists" that have his generation in that situation

No, they were also wracked by drugs and alcohol, living and begging in the dusty street.
