A general shift in the way culture regards capitalism; billionaires suck and so does aspiring to become one, companies are mostly managed by psychopaths that would do anything for profit, the political system we have is not a true democracy, irresponsible profit seeking is polluting the world, etc. A Few years ago (just before covid) some people would argue this points weren't true, nowadays is taken as a fact.
I'm optimistic because the system of indoctrination is falling, soon enough the new efforts of indoctrination will fall too (political polarization, false information, doomerism, etc)
God, I hope you're right about Doomerism, it's some of the most depressing indoctrination out there.
I agree with you on all points. Sure hope you’re right but there’s A LOT of stupid and gullible folks out there.
