The whole force of the establishment/s of the Western world were enrolled to push this LIE, and the pressure hasn't let up for a heartbeat. The LIE is that the Human Race is a virus, a cancer, a threat to the planet, an uncontrolled feeding frenzy which will strip nature bare without a moment's hesitation, and that somehow, the Human threat to the world must be curtailed.

But that's not a lie. Humans behave much the way a virus does. Conquer, consume, reproduce, expand, conquer, consume, reproduce, expand, etc. We are already trying to infect other worlds to level up our plundering game because the consequences of our industry here on Earth are inevitable.

I get what you are saying but the biggest factor, to my mind, is that people do this because they are being kept on the edge of survival, constantly fearing loss, by those in power. Government has a lot to answer for this. If we were allowed to thrive not just survive much of that would drop away. Huge families were the product of trying to ensure ones survival in old age when no longer able to hunt or farm. As well as lack of birth control and sanitation to prevent child deaths. I just heard a speaker on cbc talking about how in many countries, births are falling below replacement level which would be fine but is leaving much less younger generation to support an absolutely enormous elderly population. To the level of possible disaster.
But that's not a lie. Humans behave much the way a virus does. Conquer, consume, reproduce, expand, conquer, consume, reproduce, expand, etc.
We need to reclaim the true glory of Mankind's heritage. We are made in the image of God, and the common man or woman is not to blame for the ill-advised scheming of the ultra-powerful, obscenely wealthy elitists. We should all have access to basic imperatives of shelter, education, health & welfare of a basic, reasonable standard - and then give us an opportunity, and we'll tame nature, heal the world, bridge the divides, and conquer the mountains. Stop being afraid & stand up for yourself!
Why is the younger generation responsible for protecting an apparently useless elderly population? For what purpose?

Some humans behave that way. Not all. Therefore it is not an inherent factor in humanity, as it is in viruses. Humans consciously and willfully make the choice to act that way. Viruses do not.

You can't think of any reasons people might consider it their responsibility? Not even one???
Oh wait! They're "useless." Never mind.
Gotcha.
Humans consciously and willfully make the choice to rationalize their behavior as some kind of god given right.

Then do explain your own words...
My apologies for thinking you say what you mean and mean what you say. I won't make that mistake again.

Some humans do... not all.
Other humans don't believe in any God or god at all, and they still rationalize whatever crappy behavior they so choose.
Other humans who may or may not believe in any God or god also "rationalize" their behavior and their rationalizations inspire and guide them in doing good.
And still other humans who may or may not believe in any God or god also "rationalize" their behavior and are quite happy to live and let live... "you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone".
Lots of people with lots of philosophies and lots of choices.
