I'm aware, that's my Fandom, I know the lore intimately.

Being a "battery" is in the vernacular though, and most understand what a capital battery means.

I even see the Architects nod to the supposed answer requiring a "lesser mind" albeit a more human curious mind in the oracle was a nod to that original idea the studio mandated the Wachowskis change, from bioprocessors to batteries. Would have worked on so many levels, even with the machines falling victim to repetition loop breakdowns without processing from imperfect minds, but that was on the Studio, the writers were vocal they didn't like the change, which makes it easy for me to look beyond.

We have one habitat we're terraforming against ourselves. As much as I'd be willing to lay more blame at the feet of this shithole called the US, the same doom is coming for all of us, accelerating beyond models of years past, and none of the global superpowers are going to use their power to stop it.

Our global crops are already feeling the squeeze.

What Tesla sabatours?

Sorry, I was there, they all spontaneously caught fire out of being poorly built junkers. All of them. Everywhere they caught fire.

especially the ones that caught fire after a Tesla humanoid Robot clearly must have graffitid "Musk is a Nazi" on them.

*civilization

Have more babies though.

Your owners need your kids to be exploited into an early, miserable grave to run up their nepo kid's ego scores. The doting ones at least, the owners toss kids that don't become little nepo clones of themselves as bad investments.

Luxury climate bunkers are boring, are you really going to deprive a future billionaire child that matters the joy of watching line go up powered by your worthless peasant offspring's life force, you monster?

Maybe stop being so selfish and think about what you can do to further enrich your betters. Priorities, my fellow batteries, priorities!

We're easily manipulated, and way too eager in general to choose our own short term gain over the good of the collective.

Individualism is weakness, not strength.

Good luck with that.

I'm happy for Finland. They won civilization again this year. The world happiness index. The scientific measure of the happiness of the citizens of a society.

Which should be the entire point.

Of civilization and society I mean. Of everything we toil for. Maximize human happiness for the most humans possible. Full stop.

We choose to make ourselves miserable subsisting under avarice diseased sociopaths who themselves can never be satiated or therefore happy. And we call what we toil for... freedom? What a con-job.

Why take pride in not only losing civilization, but playing the wrong fucking sport altogether? It's embarrassing to be associated with. I'm with stupid as in my nation state.

This sold under the same banner as "any lasting change is non-violent."

incrementalism is just another way to argue for mass passivity.

That's how we've gotten here.

The ACA further enshrined the core rot of our healthcare system into it, FOR PROFIT health insurers.

We need a new party and if that is impossible collapse or revolution and a new constitution, as this one is too far captured. The DNC at this point exists to take the oligarch bribes and stoke social issue division while defending the economy that bribes them and their partners accross the aisle from us. It cannot be reformed, because it's primary function is bribe courting.

Harris was my last vote for an economic right wing candidate. I have very little confidence there will be another honest election, so why would I continue to vote for the fascist enablers as I have for 24 years? They march hand in hand with Republicans in for profit prisons, massive homeless populations that's more expensive to maintain than simply housing the homeless without condition, mass murder for corporate private profit that make up entire economic sectors, etc.

And no, I sorry, I'm for respecting everyone's rights and calling everyone what they want to be called out of basic respect, but millions of our neighbors dying in the streets for the crime of producing insufficient value for our oligarchs dwarfs a lot of social wedges neoliberals fight for but are ultimately not about meeting the basic needs people need. They make those their big issues because they don't cost the capital markets a cent.

From a humanist perspective, it's more important for a homeless person not to die of exposure, starvation, disease, and police brutality in our name than telling someone with a full belly and a roof who's LGBTQ that we affirm who they are. Both are important, but even our "left" has been paying no attention to the former and all to the latter, because the former would cost their wealthy bribers money and talk and ribbons are cheap. Kids need lunch. Hungry anyone needs food. Priorities.

And no, we can't do both, because we've proven we can't do shit. Want less abortions? Riot for a living wage that can support a family and if you win there will be fewer abortions with no bans required. It's the economy stupid, that thing we haven't gotten a vote on in 46 years.

I'll vote for a candidate promising to repurpose big corpo's record profits to rebuild society, no less.

Rofl no. Supply is kept artificially low to maintain prices. The global capitalist greed diseased oligarchs got bored with supply and demand a long time ago. Doesn't metastasize their quarterly earnings fast enough.

OPEC and DeBeers don't even do it in shadows.

You're thinking of the doe eyed days when capitalism was giving you it's talking points in grade school, deluding you. We're in the terminal stage, all that mickey mouse bullshit of supply and demand, capitalism breeds competition, and participation is optional have been shown for the confidence scheme sales pitch to suckers that they are.

At least to everyone but Americans, who've been so propagandized against anything that isn't toxic individualism most of us couldn't define socialism with a library card and a gun to our heads.

Honestly at this point im getting a little jealous some of them have somewhere to go that isn't so...Hitlery.

Neoliberals are Fascist enablers.

Sanders and AOC can come.

I'm part of the left and I'm armed. I just don't glorify my arms, name them girl names, or fall to sleep stroking them like a lover.

I think it's the only position I share with our rightwing. I wish I didnt need them, but this is a cesspool of toxic individualism, avarice, and prideful ignorance. When in Nazi Germany, you might need to shoot a Nazi.

In the Nordic countries, societies, they have freedom to roam, here our bootstrap buckaroos fantasize about murdering anyone (who doesn't look like them) that rings their doorbell for walking up their sidewalk.

Ask 1930s Germans how bad it needs to get.

Id argue Americans are even more gaslit and deluded than they were with modern for profit media combined with captured government pulpits.

I truly think the average American would sooner burn their own children alive than protest/disempower their capitalist fascist oppressors gutting their very lives for an extra nickel. For profit media says the fault of our problems are all the powerless homeless neighbors we've all collectively betrayed lowering property values with their continued immoral existence as they produce no value other than to scare everyone else back to their jobs every day.

Wouldn't want to be accused of being a filthy SOCIAList that wants to be part of a SOCiety after all. Why live together when we can die alone at each other's throats hoping the next lottery ticket or third side gig will make us a big winnah!

I will never, never forget all the domestic politicians using their pulpits when covid hit to assure everyone that they will do everything possible to protect our beloved society people children future economy, with basically no pushback 🤮

Both our parties worship at the alter of that bull.

The Republicans are fascists, but the Neoliberal Democrats, all Democrats save 2-5 spoiler the DNC hates more than Republicans, are fascist enablers that play pretend that funnelling the value of the nation's labor to the top few percent somehow won't lead to fascism.

Unrestrained capitalism will always lead to fascism.

He'll be literally all those things now in Republican echo chambers.

The Right wing eats its own.

Should have kept better company.

AOC/Sanders aren't even that leftwing.

It's just an optical illusion looking at them from inside the burgeoning fourth Reich of Stupid Hitler's crazy town.

We haven't had a vote on the shape or priorities of our economy since 1980. This is an economic dictatorship, and has been longer than most of us here have been alive.

We just get a vote on how/if to address the social wedge symptoms that economy either causes or exacerbates.

And only IF addressing them won't meaningfully harm quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. Example: you know what would drastically reduce the number of abortions without any kind of ban? A living wage that can support a family. But that would cut into corporate metastasis and is therefore a non-starter by either party in anything more than rhetoric.

You can have scapegoating(R) or affirmation ribbons(D), so long as you vote for for profit prisons, legal murder for profit, millions of Americans dying of exposure on the streets, crumbling commons, public education in utter ruin.... Freedom!

I went to one of the conservative drone echo chambers and their big line on this is "What grounds does she have to claim asylum in Canada?! She should be sent to Gaza to die!"

No point trying to reply in those spaces, they're all too far gone, but I want to reply "what grounds? The grounds that Canada hasn't abandoned their basic humanity or decency in exchange for nothing, as we Americans have."
