@Konyok: “…it reveals in young westerners a yearning to be good, moral, obedient sheep without the burden of being complex human beings” –yep i think so too.

the ‘perverse inversion’ theme perfectly revealed in the fact that the subjects themselves would not, as in days of yore hotly disagree, but rather would happily concur with the sentence as it is — “yes, the future will be unsustainable unless we de-complex it by simplifying ourselves beyond romantic notions of individualism, and besides as sheep what we don’t know won’t hurt us.”

–the truth is showing up in cartoons already, pied pipers and unicorns and little furry mammals in colors of purple and pink.
