We're fucked. It's as simple as that. The world has fully entered into a somehow unprecedented age of corporatocracy and the future, at least the near future, is nothing but war and economic collapse. All of it, puppeteered by the richest of the rich, who have bought their way into power.
Beyond society as a whole, we all have our personal problems. We wouldn't be here otherwise. I can't speak for you, but I'm poor, dougly and mentally ill with no hope of ever finding love. My only purpose in society is to avoid the light and contribute to the Gross Domestic Product until I die alone and unloved. All I ever wanted was a girl to hug and a life to call my own, but I'll never achieve that. What exactly is the incentive to not go postal?
Let's be honest here: None of us are going rogue. We aren't going to grab a gun and start killing the worst of the worst, the people who have destroyed our lives and or the lives of millions, the people who have benefitted from the creation of a soulless society, the people who ruined our lives. We are cowards. We can't do it, I certainly know I can't. It's best not to kid ourselves here.
But you've thought about it, haven't you? We all have, right? Of making an elaborate plan to slaughter the most despicable of individuals, making our escape with years of preperation, and fleeing to the Yukon, never to be caught? Am I the only one? Haven't you thought this?
I think if I know I'm gonna die and I've still got my marbles I'm gonna run up a whole lot of credit card debt and maybe do some things that merit more jail time than I'm gonna live.
No. I just want to live my life, surrounded by others that want to live theirs.
I cannot get away from those that cannot accept that. Putin, Kim, Desantis, and others make it impossible.
So, I put up with the dicks to keep the assholes away.
Putin, Kim, Desantis
???? there is no way you are impacted by all three of these people. at least two of them have likely never interacted with your life in any way
It's hard to imagine that if you don't live in rather small North Korea, which is heavily sanctioned, that Kim can somehow affect your life...
Who does not. Right now I feel ashamed that we are just letting AI feudalism happen!

You want confirmation that everyone else is as weak to make yourself feel better. It's typical neoliberal nonsense.
You're pathetic. You want confirmation that everyone else is also to make yourself feel better. It's typical neoliberal nonsense.
nah they're right
noone's minecrafting elon musk
I'm going to wake up tomorrow and Elon Musk will still be alive
good night!
No, I have standards (and a mobility-related disability). Murder is for those without an ounce of creativity and no humanity.
Unless we're calling substantial swathes of Amerika fundamentally uncreative and fundamentally inhuman
Well it was uncreative and inhumane. Why would I advocate genocide? And by extension, why are we using that as a justification for more death?
You can advocate for the good aspects of a nation and still condemn the bad ones. Never did I say I advocate "for Amerikans" in the sense that I believe in the nation unconditionally and as one construct (there's also the fact every state in the US is different and speaks for its own voice). I condemn all needless death. Not only did Luigi's actions amount to overkill that is itself overblown and overrated with the unrest being expressed in some unrealistic ways, but it was also a pointless one, as he simply removed a part of an entity that can regrow with another person in Thompsons' role. Just as with the condemnable American settlers, if someone absolutely had to carry out an act of defiance, there are many options, some more roundabout/effective/considerate than others.
I don't understand those individual solo gunner plans when the people already have organized states and produced huge amounts of powerful missiles. Don't do it alone, join a state.
Interesting thoughts, but who is really willing to risk their life, family, and passion for that? I keep thinking I want change but also will never have internal peace by being worried about the state of the world…
