      It’s rich people. AI is the current excuse. I hate this notion that if we got rid of AI we solve the issue. No, the rich people are still there and they’ll find a new thing to suck everyone’s lives with.

        I keep coming back around to it in therapy, but what are we supposed to do?

        Nobody is coming to save us.

        All I can conclude is all we have is the use of violence to stop their violence against us.

          You don’t have a peaceful revolution. You don’t have a turn-the-cheek revolution. There’s no such thing as a nonviolent revolution.

            I still can’t believe the nation looked at Trump and went “yeah lets let the mob boss have a turn” and then decided “you know what, let him have another go” a second time.

            Fall of rome wasn’t this fuckin’ quick or hilarious. I’d link the FriendlyJordies video comparing the recent nonsense with Idiocracy and its almost shot for shot at this point, but he’s taken it down as a result of going through the US border for a tour… What a wild time to be alive…

              1. You are assuming Mericans have access to non-propaganda information and can decide whats ‘best’. It doesn’t work like that in an Oligarchy that controls the narrative.
              2. You are assuming that ‘Biden’ followed another policy, but they - both ‘sides’ are paid by the same Epstein shtters to expand the US financial Empire. The only real change is that your Epstein elite are desperately out of time and have dropped the mask. Trump was an unexpected extra card they could hedge on. What you see now is the real US leaders stealing wealth while thrashing the world and letting Merica crash. When everyone hates Trump, they have succeeded in setting up a fall-guy, an obvious ‘king’ with associated media/entertainment to paint a clear picture of the ‘madman’ dictator that destroyed peoples lives. Later comes the ‘switcheroo’, so instead of victims taking this out on the rich swnes that created this, they will all think that a ‘king’ dictator was the culprit.

              The Merican Epstein Empire was forged by violence and are now dying in a frantic cramp. We now get a unique glimpse into how these Epstein psychos think, how their world works, and what they have envisioned for our future.

          I don’t know if you realize how incredibly violent that sentence was ?

            The system of capitalism is quiet violence every day, a pervasive exploitation of the working class and marginalized social groups. To fight back against it requires violence because this system was created and is enforced by violence. I’ll never hand-wring about somebody suggesting this obvious route of struggle against the systems of oppression, this form of self defense, when we watch social murder and direct violence committed by the capitalist state happen every day; nor should you.

      It’s also what made your retirement savings go up so fast. You win some, you lose some.

        what makes you think retirement going up for ten mins now means it wont tank in the next 30 when i need it? all “up now” means is those who can pull are able to. reliance on bubbles is not how this is supposed to work.
