  You look at the eugenicist natalist couples who worship Elon Musk and you realize they are indeed ghouls, and they treat their children like non-sentient garbage. Hitting them during interviews in public. Imagine what they do in private.

    Leave it to natalists to make extinction seem the better option.

      I’m sitting on a train reading that and it must have been a weird look for other passengers as I was constantly grimacing! I may have verbally exclaimed a few times as well!

  I think the most disturbing part is how stupid “regular” people are and how they let themselves get psychologically marketed into lifestyles that rape their humanity and give power and profits to the same people that raped their humanity.

    You can’t exactly blame people for being stupid when you realize the conditions necessary for well learned, aware citizens with empathy are always being destroyed by these so called billionaires. It’s not a coincidence that private cities and walled estates for the rich are the trend. They live in socialist utopia and sell rugged individualistic capitalism to the masses.

    Think about how much industrialization and development happened. Now think about how much we have lost touch with how to live meaningful, fulfilling life without our needs going unfulfilled.

    Alas, nothing can last forever. Greed and hubris contribute to the destruction of societies. History teaches us.

  And they turn into whining crybabies when birth rates start dropping. It’s their Achilles’ heel, an actual challenge to their control.
