People are exhausted from work and that’s what causes them to perceive everything in an ugly light. Because it turns out, when you’re not doing well (mentally, emotionally), that skews your perception so everything looks a bit more ugly to you.
We could have had it all

Society is a fully human construct and humans can change it anytime they want. We can create our reality, it doesn’t have to be like this for our children or theirs

But but… Money, and land, and power and that person is different to what I’m used to and makes me uncomfortable, where’s my favourite throwing rock?

We’d have to agree on the cause of the problem and what those problems are but on of the problem is the people who like things the way they are, the people who benefit the most from the status quo, are sowing confusion about those things are.
You can see it when opposite participant in the leftright framework agree on what the problem is be have nearly completely opposed causal explanation and solutions to that problem.
We can tell the billionaire and the mainstream establishment are ducking us, manipulating us, constantly brainhacking us with advertising and addiction grooming us, that they’re buying the politics and the politicians are and aspire to be billionaires as well and have aligned their interested with the rich and powerful against us.
The problem I think IS concentration of information and social power in all its forms, whoever gets the upperhand over all of us should be getting the most scrutiny and not given the space to hide and manipulate us. Power should come with a dispelling of privacy maybe ?
That’s still not even close …

who controls social media, controls the narrative and that makes a big difference. that is why we need community-owned, anarchistic social media alternatives (the fediverse).

You don’t explore morbid medical content enough.
There is no top of the food chain, it’s a big circle, and bacteria and fungus are coming for dat ass.

Good luck staying on top of the food chain when you’re old or injured.

Cats are a bad example, as they’re probably the species that’s had the most success because they chose to attach themselves to humans. Dogs didn’t choose, we took them in.

Yeah, life is super fucking ugly. We just have the ability to create beauty out of it (but usually choose to wallow in shit instead).

Pigeons only unclean because they have to stand on our garbage

Pigeons only unclean
Birds are the filthy, degenerate hillbilly cousins of dinosaurs that are constantly covered in shit, dirt, blood and disease. Some are less dirty than others, and human garbage introduces new types of filth and disease, but their natural state (like most animals) is disgusting.
IMO, many humans are only marginally cleaner than birds. Some definitely have about pigeon-level self-awareness when it comes to the state of their personal hygiene.

Life is a system of cells eating cells until they get bigger so they can eat even more cells: Life is ugly.

Let’s have it all. All I need is enough free time to design the perfect Lemmy community, then we can organize, then I will try to expand (need my own site because banned from Reddit. A prime example of why a corporation controlling most of the internet is a bad idea. They can just censor any movement before it even starts. Btw, I kind of deserve it, I acted out when I was in shitty mental health, I expected to kill myself anyway)
