This is so fucking weird.

People like this shouldn’t be allowed to lead or make decisions that have long lasting effects for millions upon millions of people, or anyone for that matter.

People like him should be locked in psychiatric institutions. They should be studied for their mental disorders, and helped if possible.

Release the Epstein files unredacted.

So they lied. And they’ll lie again. And they’ll get away with it.

Unfortunately the article says he’s 18, so legally they’ll say he’s an adult.

Difficult not to be doomer here. I don’t see anything changing.

Countries all around the world (that are democratic) citizens are electing conservatives and far right increasingly. And of the worst kind (trump). Unless these conservatives that are elected cause such big problems (and fast enough) that cause people to shift to progressive voting, we’re not gonna make meaningful change in remotely enough time.

And we have so much fucking work to do to actually fix these problems.

Press X for doubt.

Well said, I sympathize and we have very similar backgrounds based on what you’ve said. Are your sins and blood on your hands due to working for defense contractors or military or related? If so I feel that to my core. I tried saying “at least I’m not making bombs or missiles”, but even if you’re supporting them in other ways it’s still part of the machine where poor people end up dead or impoverished, all because of billionaires war games. And they get richer along the way.

We’re not special. We’re primates. The greatest smartest ape on the planet. But it’s still just a more advanced and complex form of what chimps do in the wild. The animalistic competition and domination is fucking stupid when you start to recognize it. We’re the only fucking species intelligent enough to transcend that shit, yet look at us?

Take what I say with a very fine grain of salt. And I would never presume know what’s best for people or try to tell anyone what to do. But if you want to be effective in the one in a billion chance there’s a revolution or anything remotely like it, maybe prepare? Health wise and whatever else you might think. I’d like to smoke and drink every day too, but what about just in case? Personally I’m ready to pull the trigger if an opportunity arises, but I would want it to count. Yeah, I’m kinda saying don’t give up just yet. They way you think, we need people like you.

I don’t think people like you and I are alone. I think it’s possible more people are/will grow to feel and think this way, given the way things are going.

Not difficult to understand.

Why bother?

There’s very little hope for a decent life. It’s not rocket surgery. Unless you get lucky being born into wealth, success in entertainment industry, stock market stuff, something else that gets you enough money to be financially independent… is rare and unlikely.

The rest have to work jobs we hate. Rising cost of living. Own a home… Ha! Then you work your shit job and when you retire at 70 it’s mostly just time to die, having wasted life working to prop up some billionaires enjoying yachts and diddling kids.

People are realizing there’s not much hope for a large number of us.

Tax the rich or bring back guillotines, or both.

If someone luigi’d musk the US and the entire world would be better off. Somebody else can run his companies, probably do a better job, and not be an asshole while doing it.
