It's a boomer-style comic, but it gets the point across. True meaning comes from devotion to Christ, Kin, and Race.
When you realise the entire system is predicated on infinite economic growth, so the (((governemtn))) feels no shame in printing and borrowing more and more
And it's what causes the marketing and buying attitudes. No house is big enough. No car is nice enough. More. More! So people go into debt to buy the five bedroom McMansion even though they have 1 or no kids. Imagine never being content. Always wanting more shit. More useless cheap shit made in China.
Imagine taking all the money spent on disposible plastic junk and spending it on a piece of high-quality, hand crafted furniture meant tonlast 100 years.
My family were poor when I was little.
We couldn't afford fashionable clothing or Transformer toys... I knew shoes were more important and toys were never a consideration so I never asked.
All I had was lego.
That was more than enough.
Each Christmas I'd ask for a small set of gears and cogs (Technical Lego).
One year my parents bought me a battery powered lego motor.
I built film projectors, physical mechanical arcade games based on Spy Hunter, an automatic cat feeder, but my passion was attempting to perfect a bipedal walking machine with counter-balance movements so it was able to complete steps standing on one small foot and carry the weight of the motor's battery-pack.
I have no words to describe how much fun I had.
If discover an engineering design problem with what I was building, I'd go for a walk in the sun to do some lateral thinking. 'Happy memories.
Setting ridiculous goals with enormous constrains on parts and motor power (which required gearing) opened worlds of glorious creativity.
