Bro, I’ve been high basically every fucking day for the last 5 years for sure but we’re getting on a decade here.

There isn’t much shit I haven’t tried on weed because raw dawgging this timeline is a guaranteed shotgun slurpee.

It is but with inherent negative connotations.

One schemes to get away with shady shit but plans to do good things.

I’m so tired of being told I’m sad because I don’t have drugs.

I’ve tried a dozen medications and they all make me feel worse. One made me allergic to fucking sunlight.

Our world is broken and dying as the rich hasten it along and we’re gaslit to accept the blame for it.

The police are thugs servicing fascist tyrants and protecting them from us.

Wall Street, Walmart, schools, healthcare, fucking everything is about controlling and exploiting.

When I was a kid, super soakers were a hundred dollars. China has basically battery powered water rail guns at that same price point now while we still have the same hand pump plastic shit. The US gets farther and farther behind the world and yet somehow even more up is own ass despite being one is the dumbest and fastest countries on the fucking planet.

I’ve given up on hope. There’s too much money to be made off suffering.

Ironically, forgiving the debt would generate immediate economic activity that the government would tax and collect that money back with far greater returns.

Every dollar in food stamps generated $1.70 in economic activity and that’s just for “normal” poor people.

The problem isn’t (just) the cost of education being insane but that wages aren’t increasing to cover the bigger numbers.

The problem is that it’s becoming harder to hide the entire country is a “company town” or African diamond mine where keeping you trapped in debt you’ll never escape is the goal and it’s perfectly legal because they own the laws.

I have been with my employer for a decade. My nominal wage has increased 50% but once you account for inflation I’m still basically at my starting wage even after a decade of promotions and certifications.

“about a meg” because it’s almost unthinkable anyone cares about 3 tenths of a meg much less 2 hundredths.

But see it’s not consistent because the moment they’re that soldier, elderly on fixed income, sick, etc, the system and everyone in it are supposed to drop everything and help them. “Get your government hands off my Medicare”, as it was.

They’re the same shit eating morons that voted for Trump’s tariffs because Biden made things to expensive .

I mean morally consistent like being pro life but also pro death penalty and pro war but then again vote down any VA funding. Family values and rapingb kids, etc…

They have values they’re just not logically or morally consistent with reality.

Jon Lovitz wants work.

People should constantly talk about Democrats being controlled opposition unwilling to speak against the wealthy.

Too bad the only people that matter are corporations.

Cowards?

Pelosi was pretty brave defending insider trading after someone used her husband to stress test their hammer.

They aren’t cowards. They’re morons or traitors.

They aren’t -afraid- to do the right thing.

They’re afraid of losing money and power. Or worse, they actually think they’re doing a good thing.

It’s a dopamine versus serotonin issue. People think they want to be happy, but that longing is more for purpose. Eating ice cream can make you happy, but learning to cook your own meals makes you a more component being able to provide for yourself and those around you.

Most modern luxuries are basically Skinner boxes at this point monetized in some way to keep us staring at it or consuming it.

We doom scroll at the expense of relationship building.

We door dash instead of have community gardens.

Instant gratification isn’t always and intrinsically bad, but the more the default it becomes, the less patient and competent people become.

Then you pile on decades of American exceptionalism and actively encouraging selfishness at the expense of a functioning society and the present state of things is hardly surprising.

Because you asked what I meant. Of course what I meant didn’t include your response to it. You almost seem offended my thoughts weren’t yours.

If you think it’s insane it’s basically still how we took the Kingdom of Hawaii.

In short, Kant said people should be the goal, not the means.

It’s ok to make yourself dinner.

It’s ok to make your friend dinner because you want to make them happy.

It’s not ok to make your friend dinner because you want to have sex with them.

It’s not ok to make your friend make you dinner because you don’t want to cook.

Every facet of capitalism is exploitation by design as profit is unpaid labor. However classless socialism isn’t automatically devoid of exploitation.

None of us asked to be here. I certainly don’t want to be here anymore. Placing the value of a life upon the imaginary lines it landed between, how much money it’s parents had, or the color of it’s skin are all pretty fucked up.

Lol. Welcome to chasing a pipe dream or crippling depression.

The answer is largely as simple as socialism plus Kant with some secular Jesus because any system that condones human exploitation will eventually implode due to psychopaths’ willingness to sacrifice others for power.

But literally basically everything is done wrong to maximize exploitation. Housing, schooling, medicine, food… All fucked to make the richest richer.

Liberalism is the slow road to fascism.

That bit makes more sense when you factor in Scotus making corporations people.

It’s a matter of conceptualizing violence.

A medieval siege was a battle of attrition. Encircle the castle and just starve them out.

Is this violence even if no one was stabbed and everyone starved?

Wage suppression and inflation are ultimately the same battle of attrition wherein the working class is pushed into poverty. Wage theft from employers is as much as 80% of all theft in the US.

I’ve never seen a fucking corporation in handcuffs and yet they’re still people with tax breaks and infinite political contributions. Odd coincidence.
