Now, younger generations have created this miserable poverty that benefits wealthy people with antisocial personality disorder like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and other people that kleptocratically benefit from cheap labor from countries with lacking human rights. On top of that, this world has become Orwellian internationally. Elites causing online surveillance, controlling the internet, and using international politicians as pawns for soul-selling profits just make me sick to my stomach. Now, these elites don't want lower class citizens to have politically incorrect fun. So, they suck the fun out of them through draconian witch hunts to make lower class citizens become miserable towards these wealthy assholes. These draconian witch hunts have already happened on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Discord, Reddit, Amazon, and other anti-intellectual platforms that promote virtue signalling, snowflakes, emotional incontinence, dishonesty, feminazis, putting feelings before hard facts, closed-minded echo chambers, silencing outspoken people in favor of simps, etc. Politically incorrect comedians are being silenced and blacklisted more than ever. Let that sink in. Which is why I have no hope for how people, especially the elites, are running our world we live in so far. So I expect air pollution, water pollution, food pollution, employee working conditions, house prices, healthcare, television shows, films, music, art, infrastructure, and many other things to get worse internationally.
#1 - You need to define what you mean by "in the past". Before labor unions workers were treated like indentured servants or even slaves. Safety was not valued, happiness was not even a concept, wages were extremely low, punishments could include beatings and shooting people. That got better in the mid-20th century, but in the past 30 years or so wage stagnation has locked people in low paying jobs.
#2 - Why do people keep referring to Bill Gates when they complain about industry. Gates retired years ago and has been working for his nonprofit foundation since. Get up to date. And even if you want to complain about labor in his ear, 1980's - 2006, you would do well to pick better candidates. Gates created a software company, and an entire industry, out of nothing, not to mention more technology products than you could count. I wouldn't point at him as the bad guy.
The rest of your rant just sounds like a poorly constructed rant. Really nothing there of substance. They don't make my favorite brand of ice cream anymore, I don't like the color sneakers come in...blah, blah, blah.
Why is it so?
