My optimism for the future is dead at this point. Even if we miraculously have a collective pivot into sustainable practices tomorrow, this train ain't stopping in my lifetime. Maybe it'll be better for future generations, I sincerely hope it is and I'll keep doing what I can to ensure that. But my future is doomed to dealing with the mess that unchecked greed and exploitation has wreaked upon our world.

Yeah, this is kind of my attitude as well, sadly. I'm a younger millennial, but I feel I've been around long enough to determine we're truly just a pot of boiling crabs dragging everyone else down to try to save ourselves.
I think one of the hardest parts of getting older, at least for me, is watching the childlike wonder and hope for the world within yourself slowly vanish. I'll never stop fighting the good fight, but the light has definitely died in my heart. Honestly, sad as fuck.

Hope is a toxic ideaology. It does nothing but destroy us, like a cheap steak in hydrofluoric acid.
It stays our hand, and slows our response.
Hope needs to die.
and be replaced by an unbridled, mindless, blackout rage.

Let me introduce sociopath theory.
Their lack of morals allows them to rapidly accumulate money and power. Once entrenched, they continue amass wealth and power far beyond what is healthy for functioning societies. People don’t check this accumulation because individually they are moral humans who it pains in the extreme to seriously injure another human on their own (Luigi is an extreme exception driven by unbearable pain). But, when it gets bad enough, the poor, the losers in the sociopath race, normally isolated, begin to bond together to protect themselves from predation. This bonding together decreases the individual emotional burden of doing violence. People mob up .. emboldened by those around them. At a certain point, it goes critical and elite heads roll far and wide.
At that point, the sociopaths are purged and the moral can go back to some form of just governance for a decade or two until the sociopaths begin to claw it all back.
Que the “ableist” hate mail.

I wish america was more like the french, when it came to actually rioting in the streets and burning the removed down when shit goes against what the people want.

Together with 24/7/365 capitalist propaganda fire hosed into our faces from the time we're born.

Blame the 30 yr mortgage.

Progressives who refused to vote for any genocider of either party are those french.

Na, if you dont participate you willingly don't deserve to have your opinion be heard.
-
Well thats not your decision to make-- at the ballot box or here. So thats just like, your opinion, man. I did fill out the ballot by the way. I just left the president line empty. And I'll cheerfully do it again next time if the Dems keep supporting zionism. And again and again forever. Theres not a thing you can do about that. Cheers, pal.
-
Single issue voters are fucking removed. Especially when that single issue is on the other side of the road and your lack of participation all but ensures that single issue is gonna get wiped off the map.
-
Well smart guy, dont support genocide next time and you might have a chance to win.
If you want to tantrum on the floor because people wont just do whatever evil shit you say, be my guest, the floor is yours. Sing us the song of your people. We're pretty used to it by now.
-
At what point did I support genocide? Your clearly one of those removed single issue voters. Gaza wont exist much longer because of people like you. I tried to enact change to help all the people who are being genocided but short sighted people like you would rather let perfect be the enemy of any progress at all and the candidate you helped elect just cut trillions of dollars of healthcare. Take some fucking responsibility lol

Crabs don’t need to boil to hold each other down, they’re just assholes.
Like humans.

True! I was conflating a bucket of crabs and boiling frogs. I guess we're both though, so it's pretty fitting.
-
The frog thing is less fun to me when I learned it’s less accurate, apparently they can sense it warming and just hop tf out of dodge when it gets warm
-
We have much to learn from the frog sensei...

Spoiler: It won't. The wealth gap inequality will continue to grow. Most of the world will essentially become slaves to the corporations and wealthy elites.

Why are people downvoting you? People are in denial and shock I guess. America is over.

Unfortunately, shifting to the right is a global trend. It's just starting.
