Honestly I've reached the point that I hope climate change, that's presently accelerating, fucks our species shit up to the core and forces our species to start again, because existing like this, subsisting for a tiny group of proud monsters that see us as livestock in perpetuity, sounds like most people will be born into damnation going forward, and as much pain as civilization level collapse would be, it pales in comparison to this system persisting and finding new cruelties to profit from for generations. Human civilization in its current form seems to exist to find new efficiencies with which to torture most of humanity. Maybe we'd be better off knocked back to depending on one another in smaller groups. Maybe we'd find empathy again. Maybe our planet could start to recover from our damage Yeah, you're not alone. I've basically become an anti-natalist. I don't think the ruling / owning class will budge unless their lives are affected. And that won't happen until there's no more slaves to support their insane lifestyles. permalink fedilink source parent
