I try not to let this shit get to me. It's always darkest before the dawn and all that, but damn.
The general population is so fucking broken. They're just absolutely mind fucked from being raised on a steady diet of right-wing propaganda from all major Western parties.
How do you even begin to fix all of this. I feel like I'm drowning and being pushed under by my own damn species. We are all so sick.
You don't. We eventually balkanize. The question is how much of the rest of the world's money do we burn though before we start making "strategic partnerships" with China. Like, it is a matter of time before the pacific states joins the belt and road program and China builds a military base in the Nevada desert to claim and scrap the remaining US nuclear stockpile. Our only real path forward is to build as nice a social network as we can so we can ride the wave of decline. Which means study like getting good at vegan cooking and gardening are some of the most important skills.
Unless we are on the cool timeline than just getting really good at running is the most important skill.
Either way our job in the core of the empire is to be stoic and help who we can. Which is a better deal than most my ancestors ever got.
Or I am just being a pessimist. Who could say.
If Newsom were smart, he’d already have a permanent personal ambassador to Xi
He is ambitious enough I am sure there have been smoke filled room conversations that occured.

I would say rucking is more important
Valid critique comrade. That is indeed a more important long term skill than running if we enter the cool zone.
Also calves for days 😎
