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.
It is also a capitalist mindset that bases all human interaction around consumption. Life is based around getting more things to consume and a good life is when your consumption is increasing at a steady rate. Meanwhile when your consumption is wholly fulfilled that is bad thing because now your consumption is at a plateau; as good as zero basically.
Same reason why the trope of "character get rich then gets bored" is so popular, despite the fact that it have little basis in reality; the ruling class are never tired of being rich and powerful.
