Last season had the 'Climate Change is inevitable and resistance is pointless and unethical' (captain planet analogue goes to tragically kill coal-miners, nobody mentions that having superpowers could easily dismantle fossil fuel infrastructure or at the very least off execs). This most recent episode has omnipotent dinosaurs return to earth and create a post-scarcity Earth, leading to newspaper articles and characters exclaim how bored their life is now that banks, jobs and climate change have been eradicated. The dinosaurs are purposely boring and speak in vague lib 'empathy' language, leading to characters genuinely use the words "Virtue signalling" despite my understanding of virtue signalling being just saying nice words, not backing them up with material conditions.
This show has fun sci-fi concepts and I enjoy the slow de-edgification of Rick, but damn clearly Elon's cameo (in an otherwise perfect episode) was a harbinger of grotesque things to come.

"My life without a job would be boring because I'd have to spend that extra time with my wife and family" - Boomers
A lot of the "Open Up the Economy" protests were just boomers sick of spending time with their shitty families.
And the funded astroturfing. Never forget that.
Sad but true: this also applies to a LOT of liberal support for BLM at its peak.
I always hear that argument and people need to develop an unprofitable passion
Do these people not realise how disturbing it is that they can't think of anything to do other than their job? We have killed passion and curiosity. It's depressing.
They killed it in themselves comrade, but that does not kill it in you!
Which is precisely why they end up raged out psychopaths who fantasize about going out in a blaze of glory via a mass shooting, or actually do carry it out.
They killed passion and curiosity inside themselves and it destroyed the humanity inside them.
my job makes me incredibly depressed lol. id say i feel worse than when i was a neet stuck at home. but that's probably since its very unforfilling
It feels like nothing is done for joy.
It’s all got to be consumerism or self improvement or side hustle.
People don’t seem to do art for the fun much. Always an undercurrent of self improvement/ good for you.
I just want things to have intrinsic fun as the sole reason.
Me living the "good" version of that old Twilight Zone episode where the bookworm survives the apocolypse. :wtf-am-i-reading:
right like isnt that just the same old lame south park shit?

I mean, no, the show really isn't saying that.
No. They're saying that people with unlimited wish-fulfillmemt powers make for bad television.
Comfortable privileged insufferable bougie fucks jerking off to the idea of "conflict is necessary to make life worth living" while having no meaningful conflict in their own lives except the suffering they inflict on service workers.
