This is why futurism is straight up techno-fetishist bullshit, all our social issues follow us into technology. Many times they are amplified by it.

The future I want, my 'flying car' would be a world where no one works unless they have to. Where no children starve. Where environmental collapse has been ameliorated. Where individual autonomy and the needs of the group find some kind of balance. Where fascism is impossible because people think critically.

We can solve these issues maybe but nooooo instead we got fucking big macs and iPhones and grocery store security cameras watching baby formula.

Fuck me that shit makes me so mad.

We'll never get to mars. Would it be improved by a fucking shopping center and McDonalds anyway?
