car "accidents"

Petscop: "that's a dead kid"

It s not an accident, this social murder is by design, so the bourgeoisie can attain max profits and max surplus worker deaths to keep the workforce liquid and easy to exploit

    I think it's kind of funny that Mad Max is held as this apocalypse scenario that we will one day reach instead of a state that's already here every day en masse and it's car based infrastructure.

    But maybe I just think that because I watch too many car dashboard video compilations, who knows.

      The post-apocalyptic hell-scape hypothesized by Mad Max boils down to "What if we ran out of gas?" It is originally a reaction to the OPEC Cartel and the sudden spike in petroleum and heating oil prices internationally. This was followed closely by a rise in violent crime (almost certainly caused by leaded gasoline fumes by hey who is really asking?) that inspired a decade of urban apocalypse fantasies in mass media.

      The modern IRL hell-scape is far more in line with The Running Man, Total Recall, or Escape From New York than Mad Max. Our resources remain fairly abundant. But a combination of media cartels and police brigades now segregate society into component parts, forcing competition-at-gunpoint among the proletariat for the amusement of the petite bourgeois and the enrichment of the new aristocratic class.

      But maybe I just think that because I watch too many car dashboard video compilations, who knows.

      Jesus Christ, man. Watch literally anything but that shit.
