So there I am, driving through the city, which is depressing enough because no train (American), and the bus doesn't go out to my suburb. As I'm navigating around with the other exhausted workers piloting 2 ton chunks of steel, I look up and I see it. A highrise office/bank building lit up it's sign with blue and yellow. I roll my eyes, momentarily looking over the skyline, and another goddamn corporate building lit up their light feature with blue and yellow. Why is this hell world so lame?

      Makes sense that it works so well on populations that focus much of their life around media. The developed world relies so heavily on media that it easily shapes their world view and they just accept it without question.

        i remember reading something from Graeber how there used to be groups of early humans who were INTENSELY grillpilled :grillman: and would basically just do that but innawoods. When one of violent tribes would come close they would all just run away and be like "fuck all that, I just wanna grill"
