I do surveys for grocery money and this govt survey asked me 'would i support strict rationing of gas, meat and electricity for climate change'

They are planning to make things worse and my answer on the survey won't stop them.

On the contrary, they will implement rationing BECAUSE many people hate this. The aim is to humiliate you.

To what is that the contrary of?

To what is that the contrary of?

The policy of enforced scarcity is not brought about DESPITE popular opposal and general reproach, but rather it is enforced BECAUSE it is unpopular and odious, its aim is to HUMILIATE the population so as to extract from them more labour/resources for less compensation.

The goal is to drive down the median citizen's demands and expectations of life. The 1960's citizen worst economic nightmare wouldn't come close to what people generally accept today, wageslaving for rent & food well into the 40's with no change to spare. In the 50's any citizen would demand a wage enough to buy a house, cars, and support a wife and 5 children by age 25. Today, the average 25yo is content with living in debt in his parent's house if he can afford pornography and a Nintendo switch.

I wasn't looking to do them myself, tbh. Goddamn, $50/week is pitiful.
