You may need to start doing some more research if that's the argument you want to make...
Try anything about the Soviet Russia, China, Venezuela, N. Vietnam... and the list goes on
Kind of a lazy approach to rely on the government tit rather than work for it yourself
@Culture_Crit 1. Formation Federal reserve
2. Removal of gold standard

Mostly stems from individual weakness and no strong core values. Most people I talk to outside of my circle - online or in person - are blobs.
Very few have anything real to offer. Just NPCs watching Netflix and waiting for their next paycheck
Consumer culture at its finest
This idea applies to basically anything worth working towards
How did Ronnie Coleman say it??
"Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights"
Nobody actually wants to sit and write out an email
Or film a video
Or write tweets
Or scrape leads
Or set up inboxes

9-5's aren't bad
But they shouldn't be a long term thing

Here is a quote from Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel that everyone can, and should, apply to their lives:

@waronweakness I didn't realize until recently that this is the reason I'm not happy being part of the corporate world...
Everyone is fake and on their best behavior to avoid getting fired
That's why being authentic and telling the truth is so compelling in today's world
I work for a Fortune 200 oil company.
People always tell me I’m young, I’m successful, I’m lucky to be working where I am
So why do I hate what I’m doing, despite being rewarded greatly for it?

Simple math.
