But there aren't enough people who would actually fail to handle it without transition and then choose to transition to push the agendas they need. If people learn to love themselves, they can't become sheeple to the cult, so people need to be conviced that transition is the only way, that any percieved failure is the fault of society, and that society is the one that's wrong for not making you feel valid and welcome, thus creating the us vs them mentality that all cults rely on so heavily

Yes, we can definitely look at how things are functioning today and recognize that it's no good at all. Everyone agrees. I don't think I'm naïve for wanting what I proposed above, which is cards on the table. Shine some sun on this train wreck, let everyone see all it's crumpled cars for what they are. My naïveté might be in thinking this is possible.

Oh, don't get me wrong, such a world would be amazing: one where people were free thinking and sought out what was in the best interest of themselves and others, and one might be possible with humans in it. My problem with it is I'm not sure modern cultures can be changed to allow it. Without fast and drastic change to the way things are done, I only forsee them getting worse from here.

But I might just be a nihilist with too little faith in humanity to fix the current state of affairs.

I sure hope I'm wrong
