yes according to modern media sentiment. Never once have I watched a movie that argued for the antithesis of the "Avatar" respect nature mantra. I mean even without the warmongering factories are never portrayed in a positive light unless they're Willy Wonka's.

The media sentiment skips over the newborn deaths, starvation due to bad year of weather, families wiped by simple diseases, and all the other things we pretty much learned how to deal with.

I wouldn't figure what society you'd be happy in based on media depictions. They're selling you whatever you'll buy. They sold the Jetsons back in the day.

I think you need to rewatch/reread Willie Wonka...

why do you need to argue for the existing society that mostly everbody agrees with. That'd make a boring movie.
