History tells us that many, many...probably most...people throughout history lived entire lives without what I assume you mean by "self-determination." This goes for the common defintion of "future" as it applies to people's lives. They had kids, wives, all that.

Beyond that you're going to have to define your terms, because I don't speak whatever subculture you're representing. As I understand you, almost all of us are here today because of people with "no future."
