It's anecdotal and skewed, but skimming through comments on stuff like Economics Explained's recent video about whether not Brexit would be 'as bad as we thought' -
If those are reflective of young UK leftists, it's at least simmering-under-the-surface bad. General disdain, an assumed stance that the brexiteers are all children of caveman like intelligence who enjoy chaos, are stupid, had no idea what they're doing, blablabla, and basically what Impossible1 is saying - they're waiting for the stupid old racist people to die so their Inevitable and Virtuous belief system wins by default and they can restore rationality to the world.
There were a few stubborn folks offering counterpoints but they were getting either ignored or shoved aside via downvotes.
It was... depressing. Not surprising, but they are just lost, wandering around talking only among themselves and being pretty spiteful. But what else can you expect from trendy, globalist friendly economics commentary on youtube?
Reminds me of Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clark. Alien outsiders impose an artificial utopia on the whole planet. The end result? Total erasure of human cultures and individual identities followed by indoctrinated children siding with the invaders. Oh, and the invaders end up looking exactly like the demons of Christianity. It's an almost perfect allegory for globalism.
So, does the book portray that as good or not? Reading about it seems to indicate yes, but I wouldn't know since I haven't read it. I can't imagine the sort of worldview someone has to have to think the ending's positive.
