Why sadly?
- Comment on That explains it. 1 week ago:
I always find it peculiar and somewhat self-hating that humans are so averse and judgemental about reveling in our sexuality.
It’s a major part of who we all are, whether we choose to deny that or not. Cultures and world religions always run by monied interests would prefer we spend our time miserable collecting more for them as they live in decadent debauchery, and most of us have been too fucked in the head with sexual shame to be fixable, but humanity would have been so much happier if we spent less time growing gdp and more time fucking, especially in an age of birth control.

This is probably the number one reason I’d be giddy about it.
Our species needs to learn some humility.
If they didn’t come in peace. We’re boned.
If they did, at some point they’re still going to need to use corrective action on our arrogant monkey asses.
Because all human history.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 4 weeks ago:
I think such protections have to happen BEFORE the market capitalists are able to use their immense hoards of power, that’s what capital is at scale, to capture their own governments and regulators that were supposed to act as a firewall protecting regular citizens from them, as the market capitalists have in the United States for almost half a century.
Once that happens. Good fucking luck. Greed doesn’t let go of what it acquires.

I agree, this is just leftover momentum.
Reaganomics was a bullet to this nation’s brain stem. Citizens United was just the capitalists pissing on the corpse for fun.

What an odd change.
This makes so much more sense.

- Comment on Why do we put up with this crap? 1 month ago:
We were too conservative in our estimates. And other factors like loss of the reflectivity of our arctic regions have entered the game.
This stuff doesn’t go away on any human perceived timeframe by stopping. They’ll be able protect themselves for a couple more decades beyond us peasants, but their luxury bunkers with ironically self-sustaining agricultural sections will effectively become their tombs.
We were just smart enough to make technologies that helped us today and doomed us tomorrow, and still too bone dead stupid not to stop/drastically reduce using them upon discovering the consequences of their use.

It’s important to remember what we’re working ourselves to death for.
- Comment on Most Americans have no idea how anti-worker the US supreme court has become 2 months ago:
Most Americans at this point are a product of capitalist indoctrination via privately owned for profit media propaganda, and public schools defunded and in utter ruin by capitalist captured government to cut their taxes, despite still profiting directly from a pre-literate workforce to draw from that they just want to pay for to.
“They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers.”

- Comment on CEO pay is rising faster than it has in a decade — and 3 times as fast as worker wages 3 months ago:
Overt slavery was hard, and got harder at scale.
The owners figured that out after Jim Crow fell.
Since then, they stumbled upon a solution born of modern technology.
Just propagandize your labor pool into enslaving themselves into believing it was their idea, and just as importantly, propagandize them into hating and blaming those peasants who didn’t fall for that propaganda as the reason for all their owner caused misery.

Honestly at this point the 95% should just tell the 5% to keep sucking eachother off and buying eachother’s space tourist rocket yachts while we go off and make cooperative socialist communities.

- Comment on A Tax of 5% on The World’s Multi-Millionaires and Billionaires Could Raise $1.7 trillion, Enough to Lift 2 Billion People out of Poverty 3 months ago:
I hear you, and it’s tragic that the fight doesn’t end with taxation.
That said, capital at the level of the owners is an expression of power, power to keep the world rigged, buy governments/regulators, protect monopolies, etc.
If that money was somehow (im not holding by breath) taxed/confiscated from the world’s immoral owner class, transferred into paper currency and incinerated, it would still be a good day because the power dynamic between them the 10s of thousands and us the billions will still be measurably improved.

But they worked so haaaaaard exploiting the labor of thousands of other humans to enrich themselves specifically!
It would be so unfair to punish the success the global owner class had all by themselves that had nothing to do with access to their society’s commons like functioning utilities and roads, legal mechanisms for business disputes, and publically educated, pre-literate labor pools to draw and directly profit from but should never have to fund commensurate with the immoral levels of wealth it most certainly didn’t facilitate them acquiring!
Wouldn’t a just, compassionate society do the fair thing and just let the worst off die in the streets?

- Comment on Too soon? 4 months ago:
Always a keen reminder that our transient little lives are NOT to be taken too seriously.
A Pharoah that claimed Godhood and had themselves sealed in an impossible monument with a dozen living servants was dug up, put on display and is likely boring some school group to death as we speak.
Literally none of the little plans we humans make matters, and that means you get to choose what matters to you. Maximize your happiness.
