This is just one of the MANY polls showing up on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapBasedPolls/comments/1x63813/are_we_in_the_golden_age_of_america/

Which is indicative of late-stage capitalism. Add that with questions about what the ideal population size is, posts asking how the rich are going to kill us off, critiques about healthcare being their method of choice, why they're buying up land, and a few other talking points and you get a pretty clear picture of what's going on in peoples' heads. Why rich people purposefully act stupid in public, etc.

Your question in the post is about 4billion dead people. Since there are no 4billion living in the usa i conclude that they would be from all over earth. And then you link a poll where 517 people (or bots?) voted if the golden years of america (i assume they mean the usa) are over. How is your post and this poll related?

I mean, it's a sense among the commoners. School-aged kids, people about to exit the workforce. It's all over Reddit, Facebook, Instagram. Little questions here and there. If you haven't run into it, you're extremely isolated by something. Or, lack the ability to pick up on the most basic of social cues. Hell, I've seen it on Mastodon.

Maybe instead you should get out of Reddit, Facebook and Instagram a little. To see the real "commoners". Meet more people with blood pressure instead of tokens.

Travel around the world a little to realise how huge it is. You might realise there is no one group called "commoners". People living around you might see the world your way (maybe they should also leave Facebook and Instagram?) but that doesn't mean much.

It isn't just me, mate. I've got contacts from several states expressing the same things. Hell, some of the people I used to know from Europe are posting the same crap. And, I am a "commoner."
