I don’t buy that interpretation. The joke is super old, like, baby boomer old. They weren’t that dark. They were going around saying things like, “In the year 2000, we’re going to have a base.. on the moon!”
There’s no way the people of that generation would have even considered the darker interpretation of that joke. Hell, I’m gen-x, and depressive, and that interpretation never occurred to me.
