Ever find these types of comments EXTREMELY annoying? btw they think they are so different but they are just the same as every communist in the past that thought they were "progressing humanity" by destroying any sort of traditions or society and bringing in "new" bad ideas. And a lot aren't even "new ideas" or "progressive" ideas its just anything that they happen to want but isn't or wasn't implemented (eg . like censorship) and act like its some kind of "futuristic idea and everyone who disagrees is backwards"

Most of them are just kids who want free stuff and think that by stealing from the rich that it's going to make all the poor, lazy people (them) rich. They can't see a fault in this logic and think that because they've done nothing but throw tantrums for years they should've got what they want by now cause Mommy never said no, why would the government?
They're also the 'nice guys/girls' who were never liked in school because they were fucking psycho and now the internet allows them to manifest that behaviour and even be congratulated for it.
Being lazy is unfortunately the normal order for most if not all species, we all want to obtain results with the least amount of work.
There are rewards for being a hard worker but it needs to be forced on people. A great example is why Asians are so freaking successful while we worry not to traumatize the kid for telling them no once.
It's not even just living things. An electrical charge follows the path of least resistance, water always flows downhill, etc. Being "lazy" is massively advantageous as long as you still achieve your goals, because you get the best results while expending the least amount of resources. Laziness is a massive driver for progress - I mean actual progress, like automation or computing, not postmodern "progress". You could be a "hard worker" digging holes and filling them back up all day, but your hard work would be useless.
It works the other way too, though. Those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s through a time of unprecedented wealth and technological advancement are sitting here on the cusp of the 20s wondering why we aren't in flying cars or teleporting to a moon colony or something.
The stagnation of our society is very real and very depressing to anyone who is paying attention. Innovation is limited to finding new ways to control and manipulate us. Companies are interested in introducing new technology unless they can use it to spy on us and steal data.
The difference between 1970 and 1990 is phenomenal. The difference between 2000 and 2020 is, flat screens?
im not talking about actual innovation and evolution (which has stagnated), im talking about the people who go around sprouting out stupid social politics and attacking everything in the name of "progressivism" and acting like if you dont agree with them you are "backwards" and "its cUrrEnT yEaR pEoPle "
Sure. But on the other side of the coin, we have people who have espoused "open market" capitalism where muh private corporation can do whatever they want and then wonder why we are living under a plutocracy.
They keep voting for globalist interests under the guise of "well, I'M a small business owner, so I completely sympathize with Bezos" and then wonder why the economy is stacked the way it is.
We don't have a free market economy, we have a crony capitalist economy where a few large companies have just outright replaced the government when it comes to suppressing the population.
Who said anything about libertarianism? You can't blame a "free market" for something a "free market" didn't do.
The "free market" didn't shutter mom and pop shops and let walmart stay open, the government did. If the crony capitalism isn't a obvious to you by now then there's no helping you.
How do they do this? By lobbying government for regulations that make competition more difficult, if not impossible. A heavily regulated market is not a free market.
Communist detected
That reminds me of the first time I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey (just a few years ago).
In the beginning space scenes where there's the flight to the space station that has a hotel and all at it. All I could think is how none of what I've seen is all that far fetched today and we could have done that. At some point when I was a kid we just quit trying for whatever reason I can't figure out. Now "innovation" is putting a better camera on an iPhone.
It's 2020 can we just name "progressives" pro-LGBTPIPQ+ communists.
Product idea: new trans flags with sickle and hammer on it.
The average kid thinks that because a system is older than they are, that it's been perfected. Socialism, communism, etc, are equations that were never finished but ideas that look good on paper. The human factor that is the real level at which someone will work for people besides themselves, for nothing but a pat on the back and enough bread to survive on, gets more irrelevant the longer they stay in their internet echo chambers.
We haven't "solved" much in the past few centuries, but they believe we've conquered the hunger, transportation, corruption, and pollution issues of the world enough to move issues like gender identity and bullying to the forefront of our attention, and it's an elitist, misinformed stance.
It hit me at some point that a chunk of the things we think we have technologically (but usually just have names for) are still a ways off and while we think of ourselves as an advanced civilization, we're not as far along as we think. A century ago a good amount of humanity was still shitting in holes in the ground, in outhouses and privy pits. We still have people without electricity, but now we're just as worried about giving them 4 bathroom door signs to choose from.
