Fucking shit heads. I hope they [redacted].

Reading these comments I feel a sense of dread. You are all experiencing survivor bias. Initially when I ran into barriers I gave up for like a year before bothering to try Lemmy again.

If you don’t want Lemmy to serve as an actual counter to corporate controlled social media if it means letting in “normies” then you are content with corporate controlled social media continuing to dominate our lives. Which sounds about right for humanity. The smugness is vile.

Just bring on the vacuum decay event already.

I told you, I did not choose to be here on earth but I’ll add an addendum: I’ve also not brought any more humans into this doomed planet and intend to prevent such by getting a vasectomy as soon as I can afford it. I don’t have any debt to future generations and I’m making sure I wont ever. There, that’s my action plan.

I sympathize with the innocent people already alive being hurt and who will be hurt. We should have fought harder before the election, but for my own sanity and safety I’m going to opt out as much as feasibly possible. Eventually I hope I will abandon this very account once I’m done venting and just stop engaging. IDK when that will be though, maybe I wont be able to help myself.

All that said I get what you are trying to do here. You seem to be one of the good ones, I hope things are not as fucked as I think they are and that one day I’ll feel stupid for being doomer. Though again, even if things somehow turn out OK, my perception of most other people will be forever stained. It’ll impossible for me to look at a stranger without thinking “They’re probably not a good person” for the rest of my life.

I did stuff before the election like canvass and would have been enthusiastic to do more had Harris won.

But yeah… my motivation is in the core of the earth now… I can barely motivate myself to do basic upkeep in my own life now a days let alone putting effort externally.

I get your point but its not because of that. The reasons are varied why Trump won but primarily its because ~70% of the population failed to prevent him from winning.

I’m not responsible for any of this shit. I did not sign up to being born. I did not sign up for a leftist revolution where I die a martyr to a doomed cause so left accellerationists can circle jerk over my corpse as they LARP.

I’m going to hunker down, try to survive. Though admittedly even if I do make it to the end of this shit show my cynicism towards the average person will never go away.

I respect pragmatism but I just don’t have it in me anymore. Part of me is now fueled by a burning spite towards these people so intense I want to go down with the ship. Contributing to a leftist victory now means I validate these accelerationist’s desires to drag electoralists into extreme danger for their stupid delusion of a grand revolution or whatever the fuck. One that in the end is likely doomed anyway because we are up against a government that could turn us all into a bloody mist cloud instantly with its military.

Another other part of me wants to forgive them so I no longer feel hatred for most of my fellow Americans. I miss not being a misanthrope. I miss not being surrounded by evil people.

And of course and third part of me is blackpilled since climate change is going to get worse because of Trump and make it kind of not matter anyway.

IDK man. I’m tired.

To bad politics have been made impractical.

It will not be easier. I voted Harris. I was a Bernie supporter. My motivation to fight has never been lower. It is in the core of the earth.

My hatred of people responsible for Trump’s victory is extremely intense. The idea of unifying with any of them, including the leftist abstainers, is absurd.

Sure, I hate the Trump voters far more, but the abstainers are also my enemy.

A desperate belief that they are impoverished because they need to compete with an ethnic out group and a belief that the out group is taking their shit, murdering them, and stealing/raping their women.

Even though its largely due to capitalism and technologically induced paranoia & loneliness.

As an American, no, at least when it comes to averages. Fuck the average American.

I don’t know if I’m capable of being productive. I’m having a mental breakdown.

I already wasted 20 years of my life in sacrifice to politics. I want to be done and other than venting about how we’re doomed I more or less am done, thank you.

I hope I’m wrong, and I earnestly wish her luck but I do not owe a population of people who chose Trump a single solitary fucking thing. I’m bitter, exhausted, and my patience is gone.

Good luck to her.

Then why did not vote for her?

If this is a tactical move purely for selfish reasons, its not a good one considering the power Musk now wields. I think this is genuine from Gates. Saying it out loud maybe is a degree of performance, but I think he likely legitimately finds Musk’s fascist support a morally bad thing.

Assuming all billionaires are constantly playing some kind of 4D chess game is just as bad being overly charitable when a billionaire says or does something that could be seen as good. Remember, Elon Musk has put himself in the spotlight constantly despite it often times hurting him financially, his desire to be liked/beloved as a genius is also genuine its just fueling frequently terrible decisions.

That said, Gates is still an egotist and obviously pretty conventionally selfish (at what I’d describe as a pretty human level, if an average joe/jane came to have billions of dollars they’d probably treat the money in similar ways as Gates). Gates doesn’t deserve his wealth and Gates is no genius either, I just don’t think hes a fascist or a sociopath like Musk is.
