God is the invention and tool of charlatans and the refuge of the wilfully ignorant, and it always has been. 🌎 🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
It's demoralizing at this late hour, with our own habitat turning against us by our own hands, that the two great banes of human civilization, God and Capitalism, still hold near universal sway over our species. Both toxic and incompatible with a lasting technological civilization in homeostasis/equilibrium with its environment.
Why care about this world or your species if your "eternal reward" is somewhere else in your deluded mind? How can you find equilibrium with your environment if metastasis/growth is your only practiced priority?
Unfortunately for us, and fortunately for the Earth and most life on it long term, the physics of the greenhouse effect can be neither suckered nor bribed. The Earth will recover on its own timetable after we are dealt with. Just another problematic evolutionary mistake like the trees of the carboniferous period that couldn't yet efficiently decompose (the bacteria to do so hadnt yet evolved), causing the opposite problem of the one we're causing, leading to an Ice age.
The tragedy of our species is that we had the agency and knowledge to NOT destroy the climate of our habitat, and simply chose to do so anyway. Don't worry though, Gawd'll save us!
I've voted neoliberal in every general after fighting for democratic socialists in primaries, hating myself as I did, a vote for quiet slaughter over loud, braggadocious slaughter, not peace, my entire life.
After a lot, lot, lot, lot O pain, turns out the accelerationists might be right. Giving the capitalists/fascists a long enough rope to force hot revolution might be the only possible path to a society and not the murder for profit exploitation camp we've all been living under. Neoliberals just let the frog of capitalist cruelty simmer as capitalists murder us for profit and our neighbors die in homeless tent cities through no fault of their own, but you know, with affirmation ribbons instead of scapegoating. They support your right to love who you love and be who you are... in a cardboard box under a freeway as you die of exposure, sorry, market forces fam 🤷
I just hope when the revolution starts, Americans remember their enemy largely isn't in DC, those are middle managers with the exception of Trump and his cabinet who've cut out the well bribed middleman in the executive branch, they're on Wall Street, in guard gated communities and towers, on golf courses, and in mega yacht supporting ports.
As in all of civilization's history, one need only identify those holding the largest bags of cash asset portfolios as a result of all the carnage to know who is most responsible.
Saving the Planet
I don't care if China steals my data or uses my router as a vector for a DOS attack at this point. My fascist nation already has domestic back doors to spy on me if I was interesting enough. My opinion of China is roughly the same as my opinion of my own red white and blue shithole, about as low as you can go. In fact, their regular people on the street seem a hell of a lot more prosocial and EMPATHETIC than I've ever seen here in the US going by Rednote. I'm on nobody's side geopolitically because nobody is on my side.
Besides, we destroyed ourselves already. Checkmate CCP! Have fun spying on the ash heap. Spoilers: we're largely poorly educated here by design, so enjoy the stream of "...evolution is just a theory science is fake education is a scam pull yourself by your bootstraps stop virtue signaling it's not greed I'm rationally self-interested... "
I think thematically over the trilogies, it's laid on pretty thick that the Jedi beaurocracy of titles, ranks, and arbitrary rules was their downfall.
Qui-Gon was the last remnant of the Jedi as they were always supposed to be until Luke, nomads that communed with and furthered the will of the living force, who couldn't care less about being deemed a Herp derp "master." Such a title is literally kind of Sith like in its arrogance with the implication of mastery over the force rather than a humble facilitator of its will.
Scarcity is is essential to capitalism.
Many do die as capitalists literally destroy food to maintain scarcity.
I can only surmise that humans are largely happy with this arrangement, with vulnerable humans dying to maintain oligarch profit/metastasis expectations, because the global capital markets haven't been burned to the ground for their relentless and celebratory sociopathic inhumanity. 🤷
Friendly reminder, don't forget to shake your fist at your local homeless encampment on the way to work for lowering your local property values with their continued inconvenient existence!
I mean sure. But you aren't solving anything fighting them. They're literally the Canon fodder of the enemy. They were made, poor stupid gullible emotional bastards, to keep you busy fighting them so you never get to those who made them. That's the point. Poors fighting poors is so much easier than ankle chains and whips, more insideous than overt Jim Crowesque dictates. Trick the slaves into keeping one another down.
The head of the beast, and that is easily identifiable by net worth as I mentioned, cares exactly as much about those brown shirts lives and manufactured hatreds as you do if you have to end them: not at all.
Their skinhead army is literally cultivated by for profit media propaganda and there to absorb the bullets meant for the capitalists. Until you're aiming for the true enemy, you're playing their game.
Those capitalists wouldn't let those skinheads eat their purebread dog's organic dog food if they were dying of hunger. Unlike their useful idiots they feed hate, capitalists are only emotional about the person they love, themselves, beyond themselves, they're reptilian sociopaths. Unlike the loud brownshirts, our real enemy doesn't care about any of our lives enough to hate us. We're just capital batteries to be used up and tossed out.
They'll be fine. They know they'll be fine. They got into politics to be bought and bought they have been, pariah leftists like Sanders and AOC who rejected the bribe checks excluded.
As always this is class warfare, with propaganda twisting it into a narrative that keeps the poors beating on each other rather than looking up.
No wealthy wife or mistress will ever lose access to abortion, no wealthy individual access to Amazing Healthcare.
That's why I pity Republican voters, useful idiots, and move on. Americans are poorly educated on purpose to be more compliant laborers, those who were average and below that couldn't rise above that became them. No capacity to think or reason critically, empathy beaten out of them by media that preyed on those that rely on emotion in lieu of problem solving skills.
As ever, the enemies aren't our more deluded fellow poors, or the well bribed middle managers in Congress. The oldest rule of finding who the real enemy is still applies: those holding the biggest bag of cash stock portfolio when all carnage's dust settles.
We need to do more to Wall Street than occupy it, or get comfortable, because while the capital markets exist and run the nations meant to keep them in check, nothing can improve ever.
"proud of you buddy, you showed that toilet what you're made of!"
Treating the Neoliberals as allies since their former opposition got them on the take in the 70s and 80s is why we're here. The right leads the charge into fascism every cycle, and their "opposition" meets them in the new middle, but with affirmation ribbons instead of scapegoats, all the while both enabling murder for profit and mass homelessness to threaten the laborers.
The Democrat party doesn't care if it loses. That's part of the grift. What it cares about is losing its half of the corpo bribe gravy train, which is why They would be treating a spoiler President like AOC the way we wish they were treating Trump.
It's all been a game of social symptom good cop/bad cop while defending the oligarchs from the needs and demands of the people they consume by stoking and magnifying social division on issues that don't effect private profits, which is why half of America generally revels in the pain of the other half. Every bully pulpit, from for profit "news" to political podiums have been demanding we hate one another for half a century, and propaganda works.
Divide and profit. We need hot revolution starting with doing so much more to the capital markets than occupy them.
Or more likely, we'll continue to submit to this Hell of greed and antisocial cruelty like cowards until the planet itself handles the problem in a couple decades. Either way, I'm glad this situation can't continue for hundreds or thousands of years.
Unchecked capitalism is always a race to fascism. Neoliberalism opens the door for fascism. Putting the wellbeing of our beloved economy aka our robber barons over human life as both parties proudly do can only lead to dehumanizion when profit/growth/metastasis expectations aren't being met. Powerless people to blame for society's suffering rather than the greed class that is responsible.
If you still think the Neoliberals are some part of anyone's salvation at this late hour, you haven't been paying attention. The reason they have extra no plan now is because their bosses the oligarchs have basically cut out their middlemen middle managers in the executive branch and are just looting the country themselves. No neoliberal is going to do a god damned thing, Trump and Musk represent their actual bosses, and they probably own some Tesla Stock.

And yeah, I voted for Harris out of harm reduction, because affirmation ribbons in oligarch hell is technically better than scapegoating in oligarch hell, and that is the extent of our "Freedom" since Reagan.

As a filthy leftist, it would certainly pwn me if they did. I would be very pwned.
Like I would cry so many tears, which are incidentally fucking delicious, if anyone were so inclined to want to drink them.
When a NeoConfederate and a NeoNazi start beating the shit out of each other, I'm on the popcorn's side. 🍿
Awesome idea for an app!
The capitalists will "efficiency" aka be greedy and pocket what they should have spent on their app's vetting process into being useless, basically opening the door to hiring potential heroes who wish to do the right thing being given the capitalist's location and being invited to show up armed.
Five stars!
I think treating the Neoliberals or the Fascists as allies is unhelpful.
They aren't.

If God exists, I doubt even they'd have enough divine power to pull modern Republican's heads out of their shameless asses.
"Antifa somehow made my first born drop dead as I was teaching him confederate histry! Then they turned all my guns to locusts! Then they replaced all the water in my pipes with blood! Then they used their Jewish space laser satellites to make that deafening 'LOVE IMMIGRANTS AS YOU LOVE ME, REPENT!' sound around the world!
Fucking leftists and their false flag attacks."
Demand an executive order by the President declaring himself a pigboy.
Can you imagine being loudly fired as a corrupt drain on tax dollars after years of expert service, having them call it a victory for America that you've been fired, having your badge deactivated and being kicked out, and then having them come back saying "wait no, we need you for a little while longer so you're unfired for now... Now get back to work until we figure out how to have Grok do your job poorly!"
Anyone who would go back to their job after that is a spineless nitwit. They just want you to solve their immediate need and fire you in a month. Let them suffer and answer for their self created mess. They wouldn't be calling you back if there wasn't something that would make them look terrible or interfere with one of their grifts/schemes.
I'm genuinely shocked it was taken down at this stage in our self-destruction
"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you... Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!"
