As far as the rest, I rest my case. You're taking the views of extremists, other wingnuts and one SW poster and extrapolating, all under the theory that there are elements working to bring this to reality. So what if there are? This is not a today issue, nor does obsessing over it accomplish anything. There are elements trying to bring all sorts of things to reality. Again, cultural shifts tend to be cyclical. They also tend to swing a bit on a pendulum. For some reason, you seem to believe that the tail wags the dog, but many Presidents and other politicians have learned otherwise the hard way.
What you are displaying are classic symptoms of an under-achieving malcontent (not saying you are one), which include: (1) the belief that he/she is somehow smarter than others around them who live different lifestyles; and (2) the tendency to over-react to outside stimulus and use it as an excuse for why a situation is bad in some way. OTOH, those who live the way they want to do so by processing outside opinions and stimuli in a healthy way and by structuring their lives in ways that best suit their preferred lifestyles.
