We really do live in a society, huh? jokerfied

You'd think I'd be numb to all this shit by now. But I'm just sad.

We broke the 2-degree threshold in global temperature increases recently. Media shrugs.

Covid spike yet again. The media tells us to harden up or die.

Everything fuckng sucks. Wages suck, prices suck.

The people protest, they rightfully don't want to boil from climate change or the genocide of Palestinians. The capitalist government says fuck you and arrests them. Very cool and democratic.

Death, disease, poverty. Everything is falling apart. I feel powerless. Like I'm watching the murder of something beautiful and all I can do is watch. The powers in charge of this are monsters. All they seem to want to do is make everything worse and anyone who doesn't agree with fucking up literally everything is labeled an extremist.

Shits traumatic.

      Yes yes, I know it’s a bit gauche to outright say it. We wear masks that drip occasionally just as much as they do.

      Personally, I think it’s silly to assume the wearing of a mask can protect us. The very nature of the forum we post on makes it clear. Joking around with an, to some, inconvenient truth is a coping mechanism.

      Fr, if everyone evil got shot we’d have Eden.

      That’s impossible and idealistic and ect.

      I don’t think it’s wrong to acknowledge there is a middle-ground regarding the questions of violence as a tool for social reform.

      Edit/P.S I didn’t try to phrase any of that in a way that advocates for going on an adventure.

      Ultimately, everything typed here is rhetorical or theoretical. Discussing adventurism is not the same as saying something illegal. Like, academic discussion with dirt bag aesthetics. Plz no ban

        everyone evil

        Your thought process is bourgeois, liberal, even religious. Self-crit.

        wearing a mask

        Noone is pretending here but you, like the hero in an action movie. You're not being honest, you're being gullible. Educate yourself, become a comrade, build solidarity, engage in struggle. You will never understand violence until you understand contradiction and materialism. These aren't shibboleths, you can't just say the words to join a group you have to apply them. Your fantasies doom us all
