That's the sad thing about our current situation in the west. A group of people have made the system unstable and life for many unlivable. Young people who don't have sunk cost in the system to protect it recognize that the system is broken and that they are getting a raw deal.
That same group sets up a "counter culture" narrative to hijack the natural rebellion to the broken system by insisting that if we just break the system a little bit more, it will work and we will reach eutopia.
A lot of millennials and zoomers know that the (current) family structure doesn't work. Instead of being able to say, it's because we need to go back to a two parent household where one parent can be a caregiver to young children, it's that traditional families (which are remarkably rare) are what is broken.
A tyrannical government/global corporation/unelected bureaucracy micro-manages the citizens' lives to their own enrichment. Instead of being able to say, people should have more control over their own lives and global powers are too powerful and need to be broken apart, we need BIGGER government and MORE controls to fix the system.
Their instincts are still shining through the indoctrination, so we have to hijack them and turn them towards the hegemony.
Two parent households where one works outside the home and the other in are a step in the right direction but multigenerational is where it is really at. Costs and child rearing can be spread and shared and the kids grow up really knowing their grandparents and maybe cousins.
Absolutely! I wouldn't have been able to raise my kids if my parents and inlaws hadn't both attended our church to help out. I wish my siblings were interested in getting the cousins together for more than just holidays but they still get together more than most cousins do.
And multigenerational families don't work when you have large multinational corporations with head offices in few major cities and satilite offices spread out. This forces all the good jobs usually outside of people's hometown forcing young people to move for work. To have multigenerational families, you need strong local communities which means the exact opposite of globalization and free trade.
Fitting that the enemy is mostly nihilistic and seeks to create a non-place with their nonsense words.
My bad. Utopia doesn't exist anyway so it doesn't matter what we call it.
It helps to think of it like a religion. They are trying to get to heaven, they just believe they can get there on this side of the veil
Eutopia is Greek for 'good place' and the use of Utopia (no place) as a fantastical, perfect place was a pun of sorts in the 1500s book by Sir Thomas More of the same name.
I reacted because I thought it was a clever reference to a 500-year-old book that's still worth reading.
