This is a complicated one. So I gave it the most outrageous title I could think of.
Watch this:
Its in german, but it doesnt matter. You'll get whats happening.
What you are witnessing is public indoctrination of children (give them a feeling of being part of masses, provide them catchy slogans, make them chant, make them jump, make them amplify voices without thinking, give them all the same thought patterns, tell them that thats "good"..).
Basically with "you cant have a pony for your birthday" type story patterns ("But why....?").
But for all the right reasons. (Global warming is a thing, a public mass value change is a strategy to pivot away from growth based economies.)
Without telling them the negative side of what they are striving for. (Less social mobility in societies that dont grow for example, letting everyone suffer through recessions for more years, have your daddy loose his job...)
So does the end rectify the means in this case?
For me it does not. For me thats instrumentalizing people that are too young to understand the full argument, for political gains. ('Get into power.')
Am I the only one that cant help but see it this way?
