Dreams would come true and there really wouldn't be anything mankind couldn't accomplish.

But, first, all evil would have to be put away....and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Yup, someone would go and engineer an artificial scarcity in order to have power over others.

In times of great plenty, societies tend to grow, advancing technologically and culturally.

Infinite plenty would be a different beast and there really isn't any precedent for it. Even in times of plenty, we spend a great deal of time acquiring means of survival. If there was no need to spend any time doing that, or if the time spent doing that was really minimal, what would we spend time doing? Boredom would be an even more intense issue than it is right now.

Correct. As a fact, we've went backwards since the late 80's.
It's all by design. Only the elite - the rich and powerful - have all the good toys. Meanwhile, those few things we have are becoming highly regulated or taken away, altogether.
It's about controlling the masses.

lol we all sit here and happily collectively eat any ****shit that rolls down their hill and you think they 'won't let it'

Ha!


When I was in grade school I used to think:
"what would that dumb *******fucking teacher do if this whole class stood up at the same time and WALKED THE ***FUK OUT?"

The only answer I could ever come up with is NOT A GODAMN THING.

But you know what? That never happened.


....They won't let it....


LOL


I won't let it, you won't let it, and all of these other dumb *****fucks that won't stand up are the one's who won't let it lol

We clearly don't want it to be any other way.

Since the whole class never stood up and walked out, you don't know what the teacher and administration would have done.
In the end, the tail does not wag the dog.

Now. Back to real life where your protests are met with riot control, police, tear gas and guard dogs.

That's on a sunny day when the UN tanks aren't in your neighborhood, napalming your basement- er, bunker, er basement.
