You will own nothing, and be unhappy. But they'll convince you you're not.

It's not a question of material goods making you happy. 

We know that not to be true, that the pursuit of material goods and wealth as the sole goal to be empty and meaningless.

It's a question of whether the idea of "you'll own nothing and be happy" is a true statement that brings about good.

Think what the upcoming generations have been trained to see as normal, and good:

• Open borders and disrespect/no protection or seizure/closure of private property
• Globalization
• Renting an apartment/home for life
• Living in a "tiny" box-like house
• Leasing vehicles
• Using vehicles, machines, home security, and other home and devices that are connected and can be controlled elsewhere, whether you ask them to or not
• Wearing watches and using apps and trackers for "health" and exercise monitoring
• Streaming video and television
• Streaming music
• Digital e-books protected by DRM 
• Paperless office and record-keeping
• Digital economy and currency
• Virtual reality (or the metaverse) as an escape
• Virtual meetings and relationships instead of traveling to be in person
• Escape methods through drugs and mindless entertainment
• Throwing away photos and other touchpoints that remind you of your family, that anchor you to a different time, as part of "decluttering"

When you don't own, you are enslaved. You are always paying rent, you always have payments, and you must always be working. If the government "gives" you what you "need" you are enslaved to the government. You will do what they say, when they say.

When you stream your music, your television, or read e-books with a DRM (digital rights management), you allow others to control what you're allowed to hear, see, and read. A DRM means you don't own these items, and they can be altered or deleted at any time. As we've seen, when those controlling these digital media formats determine something is dangerous or is "misinformation," it disappears.

It's all been packaged as environmentally friendly, minimalist "spiritual" renewal through getting rid of clutter, and convenience, among other things. You're shedding consumerism, shedding the knick knacks that whose visual clutter is causing you mental anguish. You're finding control in your life by controlling your possessions.

Just enough truth in there to make you buy into the full lie, unwittingly.

When you step back and see the progression to this end, something that's been happening for decades bit by bit, now speeding up at a greater pace, you almost marvel at the deception.

While we see how the system has been on warp speed in the past few years, technology and mass deception falling quickly into place along with geopolitical, spiritual, and natural signs that are functioning as the birth pangs of the end, it shouldn't surprise us that the beast system has long had its foundations built even to preparing the final generations to be ready to be isolated, controlled, restricted, and thank their captors for it.

In a fallen world, people who own nothing, who have no property, no border, no boundary---it is not a perfect Utopia. It is hell on earth. It's where we're headed.
