"Fuck you, I never had mine" is definitely one of the positions one could take.

Ah.. It's fair? If wealth isn't distributed well, blaming radical ideas will only fuel the fire. Solution is a much deeper one no one wants to invest into.

I can call it a really stupid take while also acknowledging we need deep systemic change.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I meant it's fair from a common man perspective where the laws might protect you from corporate greed

Burn the world down and build it back fresh and new. It’s a great strategy when you don’t ask who is building it back and what are their goals? Nobody should ever trust Trump or any other billionaire to be that person.

Except we still live in ‘free’ market vibes based capitalism - where the profits are privatized, and the losses get socialized. If this tariff stupidity goes on, there will be some kind of bailout/grift like there always is. From PPP loans, sweetheart tax breaks, to liquidity bailouts for banks, the Fed will step in and Congress will have to do something to restore market and consumer confidence. Or else we all facetank turbo inflation, job losses, and stagnant wages in a new economic depression.

If these NEETs were old enough to have been alive during the 2008 crash, they spent it playing Modern Warfare 2 and wondering why everyone else had big sad - after all, they still had vidya, porn, and tendies living at home.

They seem oddly confident in the police state and cultural sharia they voted for will never come for them.

Or they don't care. Don't underestimate how self destructive depression can be.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Don't blame this on depression. Most depressed people doesn't become fascists. If anything this is their narcissism showing itself.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

I dont think al of the people that voted for the annoying orange agree with the fascistic tendencies. It's probably an unhealthy mix of suicidals and depressed people, angry people, fascists, idiots and morons. Neither of these are mutually exclusive of course.

Some men want to see the world burn.

You mean you engineer solutions.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

As long as the solution is fire

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

What about explosions? Can we do explosions?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

That's just fast fire, we can do fast fire!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

There really are an unfortunate number of people who want to see the world burn in some fashion. Entertainment, because they can’t stand not poking a bear with a stick, or maybe because they’re a crab in a bucket and are willing to destroy others’ success because they have none of their own.

How did they never pay for anything? Shoplifting? Are they literally a statue of a Confederate general?

"The changes haven't affected me (yet) so I have no problem with it"

"wait, they're cancelling pre orders for the switch 2? REEEEE"

That's a "soy console", OP will wake up once his PC will cost 2-3 times as much thanks to tariffs.

All well and good until mom's retirement accounts tank and you can no longer live in her basement.

I kinda understand their point of view here actually. Wanting to drag everyone down to their level. Burn it all down.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

A lot of different comments, and I know this is a greentext, but I wonder what people here think about americans who have 3 jobs and can only barely pull through?

Such people have nothing more to lose, everybody constantly keeps forgetting about them, the homeless, sick people... the list goes on.

And I'm not saying acceleration is good, but for the lost people, nothing good is coming from any side. And the pressure keeps getting worse. Even from the democrats.

So what is the solution, achievable as the world is now?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Such people have nothing more to lose,

This is a very big flaw in that kind of argument. It might look like that but there are plenty of worse situations human beings have been in historically. There is no war going on, food and clean water and shelter (even with heating and lighting) are actually available,...

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
