I watched the Elysium dystopia.

I noticed that the ‘earthlings’ [as opposed to those in the elite space habitat, Elysium] were poor and living in a slum. The main character wanted to get to Elysium because they had medicine and lived in luxury.

The ole green-eyed-monster syndrome — so he invades Elysium and tries to destroy their luxurious habitat.

The ‘earthlings’, in typical Lib dystopia fashion, never bother to clean up their slum or improve their standard of living. Instead, they pine to be in Elysium. Most likely, if they did reach Elysium, they, like the main character, would try to destroy it.

As a Hollywood theme, it is rinse, swish, spit, repeat — those who have more must have acquired it at the expense of others; therefor, the impoverished have a right to take it from them.

They call him an environmental activist but it sure sounds like he understands exactly what’s wrong with California. Far from being a far left wacko like most “environmental activists”, he sounds like a solid libertarian or conservative to me.
