      Anyone who ever ever done anything I dislike as much as coming closer to me in public than one meter, is exactly as bad as Donald Trump, and I can see no difference between them.

      /s, obviously, although clearly where a sane line lies is not globally known.

      while i understand where that comes from…hard not agree accelerationism is working.

      the american people as a whole are…kind of dumb as shit (this being by design, our public education system meant specifically to make compliant factory workers), many will only learn through direct personal pain.

      someone correct me if i’m wrong, but wasnt it not till the great depression that the US has its first major surge in left-wing activism. maybe we just need a economic collapse so severe and widespread that it scars a generstion into thinking “maybe we do need to work together to survive”, regardless of how some talking head on a screen tells them to feel about their neighbors

        The generation it will scar isn’t in power.

        Boomers are far too self-important to give it up.
