r/collapse was definitely trending left while the old sub was around. Then we got banned and people lost interest in hanging out in and trying to push it left. It remains a good place to radicalize people, but any energy put into that would be put to better use radicalizing and base-building IRL given how bad material conditions are lately.
Yeah, I get where you're coming from. Most of the time I feel like Jacob, like if I met God I'd want to beat the shit out of him and MMA for a full evening until it gets to the point that he has to break my hip or something to end it (my fav bit of Genesis, lol), I'd want to know why it had to be this. I'd be pissed if we met face to face. It's to the point that I dont think atheists have it right, theres just too much suffering and some of it so petty and targeted that it doesnt seem like random chance would be sufficient, if anything the Gnostics had it right - theres an evil creator demiurge that runs this shit.
