"They want you to be godless, sexless, genderless, childless, depressed, anxious, afraid, fat, drug addicted, lonely, physically weak, mentally weak, in debt, isolated, living in a pod, eating bugs, and dependent on the state for everything."
Why?
No, seriously, why? If everybody's essentially a mindless drone, who does any work? Who builds anything, or buys anything? What do "they" supposedly get out of this?
I know, the standard answer is "control!" But what good is controlling a bunch of mindless flesh-lumps? How does that make "them" any richer or more powerful?
