    This is both completely downplaying the entirety of the human condition and also ignoring basically the entirety of modern human history, and you think you're smart for posting it anyway.

      8 billion stupid monkeys, incapable of doing anything but fucking the planet up worse and worse.

        Oh wow I didn’t realize that improving the world tangibly is just humanly impossible. Well on the plus side this means neither of us has to do anything or further educate ourselves in any way.

        This affected world-weariness about the tragedy of human nature is a form of ahistorical cope we learn to avoid the pain of acknowledging the amazing progress happening elsewhere while we in the empire are made to wallow in decay. If you point me to any specific problem whatsoever, I will happily trace how the US Cult of Capital either caused it or is making it worse.

        Just so bleak. Go out and make friends and build community and you'll see that most of us aren't stupid and most of us are capable of doing a lot if we organize together

        Look, I agree, but one cohort of those stupid monkeys is doing the most harm, and making things royally fucky for all the other monkeys. Not to mention everything else that lives on this rock.
