The most giga-fucked part is that we could be living on a literal paradise on Earth with the technology we have. However, certain... actors (market makers, politicians, inherited wealth shits) desire to be neo-nobility and have an addiction to hoarding resources. Literal dragon shit. Well, these dumb fucks don't realize the current generation REALLY loves dungeons and dragons. Where dragons get slain and their hoards plundered. Of course, there are wealthy people out there who AREN'T complete monsters. They exist, ie the Disney heiress who has been trying to warn her fellow billionaires about the potential danger they're in if they don't equalize society @_@
This metaphor is apt because its a fantasy. The people have proven they aren't going to do jack shit.
Mmm. We'll see.
