By "regain that trust" they mean silencing dissidents.

"0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself sad. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov fucked him over personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world."
It really is just self-defence for the rest of humanity at this point.
Welp
This is extremely useful thank you. The bummer is that this matches exactly all my observations about how they're behaving.
They've always been real fond of the "let's keep all positives in the short term, place all negatives in the long term, and eventually deal with them" type of strategy - but even that pattern has devolved into its worst self.
There's not even really lip service about long term things anymore. All the people saying "these guys are so dumb, don't they see they're making it so that the consumers who keep the whole wheel turning can no longer afford to consume?!"
They know just what they're doing. Now that they finally accept the reality of the catastrophe they've brought down on us, they've simply decided "well, fuck it, better enjoy the end as much as I can".
Absolutely despicable, every fucking one of these people. Completely inhuman, there is no suffering I can imagine great enough to atone for this.
But at least I have a little closure that they really DO think the way I've seen them behaving.
the west can no longer imagine a future
The rulers of the west are unwilling to imagine a future. Because they correctly guess that it can't include the indulgence and excess that is their entire way of life. Probably same as what you meant, but to me a crucial distinction.
