Industrialization has shown to decrease happiness and create more stress and health issues. The United States is huge, with the average farm size being approximately 444 acres. Rather than further condense society into cages while the entitled own the vast amount of resources, why not further distribute society into actual green communities that don't require massive cement structures everywhere and instead promote self-sustaining communities that provide actual practical and fair values.

It's more efficient to suck the productivity from the masses when they're actually massed up together, yet still separated enough from each other not to fight it. Smaller communities that are more self-sufficient and connected would upset that, because the people wouldn't agree to giving up their productivity to some non-local entity. Therefore, our overlords ensure that "society" treats that type of lifestyle/community as something anti-modern and degrade it to "3rd world" status, as if the "3rd world" label was anything other than a way to feel superior. This is done through their captured communications channels, such as the media and various blog platforms they control; if they didn't have their fingers on the scale people would probably see that some good ideas could come from a different worldview.

Your comment uses so much loaded language that I'm not actually sure what you're arguing against or for. > actual green communities that don't require massive cement structures everywhere I interpret this as meaning more single-family homes rather than apartments and condos. That would mean urban sprawl which is anything but green. The lower the population density, the less effective mass transit becomes, and more people are driving. Most jobs can't be done from home. > self-sustaining communities I interpret this to mean not needing external resources, but this would mean your food choices are limited based on the whims of the local climate. Live up north? Then you're not getting any mangoes or other tropical fruits.
