Think about how dumb the average person is.

They don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.

AKA everybody arguing about taxes while the owner class fucks the worker class. It's gotten more decentralized since the days of monarchs, and we have cool gadgets and gizmos to entertain us and give us happy lives. But the core structure hasn't changed. There's a small slice of humanity that has almost all the stuff, and they get to decide how much stuff everybody else gets.

Workers that fight each other over tax rates, instead fighting the capital class, are the perfect example of the passive acceptance Carlin mentioned.

To me it seems everyone has more(and better!) stuff than ever.

You're right, they do! It has never been easier to survive in human history.

And thats one of the major problems in the western world.

Human beings have an innate need to fight for survival. Humans need to feel like their efforts have made the world a better, more controllable place.

These days, nobody has to hunt for food, or hike for water, or find shelter from bad weather.

So in lieu of any actual real problems, they piss about whatever bathroom that they feel most comfortable taking a piss.
