  This is beautiful and I want to agree with you.

  Mostly I disagree that violence taints your soul permanently. I believe it is this line of thinking that has led the repetition of violence throughout history. Those who wish to do harm are never treated with strongly enough and so they persist. They are readily allowed access to others to harm as they please. Perhaps we can stave off states doing it with the right government types but there will be those in the general populace that desire harm for others and they will strive to upend that government at all times.

  My opinion is: oppression deserves reciprocal violence an order of magnitude above and immediately.

  Unlikely that you were serious.

  We as a society have failed to implement those consequences. When the government refused, we should have taken up the mantle ourselves. It should be a mark of great virtue to have the head of a CEO mounted over your fireplace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The void can be loud sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get all of that. I understand it rationally. It doesn’t get easier to be understood by literally no one. It’s so fun to get asked “where do you see yourself in the future?” Or whatever similar question someone has and surprise them with the ol’ “what future?”

  Seeing that question break people’s brains makes it much easier to understand why no one believes that we could possibly destroy the world through climate change. “But it’s always been here. It can’t END. Don’t be silly!”

  Their brains don’t even see the possibility of their own deaths. Not really. They’re scared of death in the vague sense. Not the specific sense. Their death. Their end. They truly don’t believe it will happen, deep down, even under a lot of people claiming they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The void can be loud sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jokes on you, I do exactly this but still tell everyone I meet exactly how depressed I am (the answer is very) and why. I have very good reasons and data to back it up. I explain it very calmly.

  No one really gives a shit. Either they don’t believe me or they think I’m exaggerating. Or they believe me a bit and then burn it from their memory the second I leave their sight. When I say there have been just a few days in my life where I did not ACTIVELY long for death, they don’t seem to really understand me.

  So weird.

  I’ll gladly help. We should also televise it.

  I am desperately trying to not do anything myself because I know if I do, it will be a bit overzealous for the current appetite among the resistance. I am hoping some of their other plans work out a bit or just waiting for them to fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweet ancestry⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d think, but you can actually get quite granular with it. Nothing noticable really but enough to tell with some certainty where people originated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My claim is that capitalism is not only an economic system as it will eventually replace the government as well. I feel like you enjoy talking down to people who don’t have a degree in the fantasy world of economics. The entire field is nonsense building off of nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am constantly bewildered by you people who act like these things are separate, unrelated ideas.

  What do you fucking mean I’m criticizing government and not capitalism? Is regulation of the economy unrelated to the economic system? Does that economic system not impact the effectiveness of various methods of regulation? Why do you feel you can just sidestep questions and claim it’s unrelated?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Explain how to prevent capital from interbreeding with regulation. Tell me how a government could definitely prevent that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Where do you think the idea of “The Fates” comes from? Or any number of other similar deities/forces in nearly every society around the world. That feeling has been with us as humans for a long, long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe we are focusing on the wrong places. Maybe we should be burning down schools of economics. Burn down every building that teaches it. Maybe that would help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It was regulated. They captured the regulators. That’s the whole point. It could never have gone any other way. Capitalism breeds greed. In everyone. And when a greedy person sees another person doing something highly immoral and abusive to their customers, they don’t think, “my God! We have to stop it!”

  They think, “that’s a good idea. How can I get MINE?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  According to a study, the lower top 10% accounts for something like 68% of cash flow in the economy. Us plebs are being cut out all together.

  That being said, I think if people can’t afford to eat, things might bet bad. We will probably end up a kept population in these ghouls fever dreams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waiting for Capitalism to collapse, so we can get this over with so we can reverse climate change and have nice memes, technology and the good end⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My sweet summer child… We missed our chance. The revolution isn’t coming. Or maybe it will happen and then we will die anyways. The climate is fucked. There is no unfucking it. We can fuck it a little less than we currently are every year, but that isn’t going to save us.

  The effects of this will rival the Permian extinction in the near term and in the long term, barring a miraculous turnaround through geological processes after a few thousand years, it will certainly be worse.

  For reference, the Permian extinction wiped out 90% of ALL LIFE. Like 75% of land based life and 95% of all sea life (of which there was considerably more) at the time died out. It was caused by a sudden and severe increase in atmospheric greenhouse gasses over the course of several thousand years. We are outpacing that by orders of magnitude. So we could quite conceivably reach the levels seen during that time and we could do it much faster, giving all life even less time to adapt to the worst catastrophy in the history of life.

  We’re boned, my dude.

  I really don’t understand your comment. Are you implying that I will have children and sell them out despite my claim?

  I would rather eat my own children than sell them out to the future the banks have in mind.
