It feels like Republicans have realized the only way to retake a majority vote is to ensure the maximum number of deaths; aka a culling.
Followed by waiting out a generation of unnecessary/preventable deaths in the working class, and ensure the next generations are even worse uninformed. Leaving few aware of how the world used to be.
Thankfully, a brave select few are driving our species off a cliff. So, our industrial age will be a plastic skid-mark in the underwear of Earth’s fossil record for the next major species to find. /s
Don’t be afraid to be wrong and take accountability for your actions. I personally admired my grandpa for telling me this before his passing, there’s no shame in diligently striving for honor.
Most importantly, fight for those who can’t fight for themselves, you might never see the results of your actions; but you’ll be able to sleep soundly at night.
Pretty sure in the past, nature of the world itself had a lot to do with a vast majority of the deaths. Not a lot of time to consider suicide, when disease, nature and starvation are killing faster than we breed.
These days humanity has too much time to get into our own heads. Nature never intended for an animal to be as successful and destructive as humans today.
The problem is, most of the current generation is well aware they haven’t lived good lives.
Not to mention, the conundrum of living longer implies a chance for an accumulation of more misdeeds.
Personally, the most likely scenario is almost everyone becomes aware there is likely nothing afterwards at some point. Religion is more there like the bumpers for kids cosmic bowling, ensuring zero gutter balls. Keeping you playing, until the day you’re old enough to remove them and pay taxes, revealing life is a subscription, and childhood was a free trial all along.
This is why numb-nuts like spez at Reddit are building war bunker’s. Protection from a revolution.
