Where do you see us going? Everything is shit and going to shit.

I honestly see no way out. Capitalism is never going to die. We are never going to get UBI. Unemployment is going to keep on rising. AI is just destroying jobs left and right. The wage gap keeps increasing. Consumption is ever increasing as well. More and more bullshit is created and bought. We are destroying the planet.

Let me get this out of the way: Humans fucking suck. In recent fascist vs moderately-left elections, you see fascists winning or the moderately-left winning by just 1 or 2 percent. See US and Brazil. How?

Look at what is happening in the past 2 days or so: Market is down with the Epstein donators going into the red. And I still see tons and tons of people saying "I will buy now! seems like a good time to buy!". Absolute lunacy. Do people not understand that the only way to collectively win, is to not play their game, at all? Like, stop playing their fucking game.

How can we be so fucking bad? People seem to only care about themselves.

Anytime there is news about poor people receiving some sort of help, you see people making arguments such as "oh, I paid my taxes and now poor people are getting help and I am not? I should avoid paying my taxes so I also get help". There is very little empathy, compassion and kindness. It seems like every human is in it for him/herself.

The rich keep breaking laws and nothing ever happens to them. Look at some recent hacks by OAI's AI. Look at Epstein's...everything. Look at AI companies just plainly stealing data from everywhere and everyone.

I have 0 hope. Maybe I just need to touch some grass, and hug some trees, while there are still trees around. They won't be around for much longer, it seems... It appears we are waging a war on trees and nature.

We could, hypothetically, get our shit together. By that I mean, it is possible, it is not in the real of impossibility. We are not breaking any laws of physics. But it seems like we'd be breaking some biology laws? Is it in our genetic make up to be this fucking horrible? Is it just humanity and humans that will never allow us to cooperate for a better life?

Ya, sorry for the rambling.

I want to see us go where France is headed. Nobody wants to accept that that level of resistance is what's needed to make the people manipulating things actually see us at eye level. Until we do, it will be the same shit show where there are compromises made whilst those same decisions cause other bad things to continue. Then, this will all keep coming back to somebody removing what we made them put in place, and then we do this all over again because they still have a hold over us and that fear is what lets the corrupt 1% have their way.

It's a very twisted and toxic way of keeping peace and order when we can just make them listen to us in the first place without us having to bend down to our knees for their enrichment.

    I'm also still trying to figure out what's happening in Poland. There seems to be a good bit of misinformation coming out of it. Like one side is claiming Tusk ordered police to break into the Tribuneral, meanwhile the person leading the Tribuneral said they called the police for defense and they were just outside, I never saw them entering the gates but I don't know anything about the situation.

    That is an interesting thought, of course, but what will happen when the "you" who are supposed to be listened to split apart?

    Politics is so complex precisely because there are no rights or wrongs. It is simply a set of compromises between an indefinite number of groups.
