I probably would have phrased the messaging a bit different. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. But I get “Let them eat Cake” vibes with how it was phrased.
If the sentiment was "it will get bad for a bit, but it's something that has to happen before we're really free and prosperous", great.
But to "sacrifice prosperity for freedom", it sounds like an either/or proposition. "We removed the cabal! We're all free! Oh, but we're all gonna be full-time subsistence farmers."

I think I get the sentiment though.
I think Flynn is saying "It's about to get worse."
Yeah the phrasing made me a little uneasy.
