We all develop our little pet road hatreds.

My cousin’s are minivans. Mine are still BMWs, so I guess I’m a basic bitch.

This is the basis of capitalism.

Both parties lie to eachother, attempting to get more than the other party through manipulation and coercion with whatever leverage each party has, rejecting the pursuit of equitable mutual benefit, and when it is allowed to metastasize into every sociocultural aspect of one’s cultural mores and values, as it has here in Corpmurica, it creates a toxic, antisocial group of rugged individuals beating each other to death trying to impress the most successful practicing sociopaths who were the best at dishonest manipulation and exploitation of their fellow humans.

If you want to create a civilization at war with and constantly undermining itself at every level instead of working toward the common good of the species/planet/future, this is the global economic system for you!

But hey, it was all worth it for the free market of ideas giving us so many valuable, innovative choices! It has sesame seeds and no pickles?! No fucking way…

Sharing is caring antithetical to the rules of acquisition.

🔥Line must go up!🔥

“But sir! We still all need to breathe the Earth’s air!”

Then build me a climate change bunker in New Zealand with its own ventilation system! You can’t come. Line must go up!

Embracer joins TimeWarnerHBODiscoveryParamountSoonblahblahblah in confirming capitalism is in its terminal stage.

No unexploited markets in which to further to grow/metastasize, and entire economic sectors eating their own tails to be gutted of their ability to actually make the products/services their sector existed to provide in the first place for a short term stock bump celebrating cruelty.

This is a fire sale, and the capitalists know it. The worst bit is, it’s happening in every economic sector, even the life and death ones.

Close enough.

And the punishment? More money for their genocide. Let that be a lesson to them, don’t make us cut you another blood soaked check!

I would say history won’t be kind, but the longer I live, the more I realize humans are just intrinsically cruel and are a blight upon the Earth. Just another mistake of evolution, like the mass extinction that was caused by a build up of trees capturing too much carbon before the bacteria that could break them down had evolved. We seem to exist to make on another suffer trying to fuck one another over to “win,” while not giving shit one about the collateral damage on all the other species that live here that have nothing to do with our perpetual war on ourselves.

The longer I stare at humanity just doing what humanity does, the more I identify as a misanthrope.

Guiltless carnage.

There’s only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.

Ever notice how anytime someone accuses Israel of something, Israel says it’s antisemitic?

Sounds like something an antisemite would say!

You’re 100% correct.

Then we will fall to fascism in the near future. Maybe not this election, but soon.

You can’t get people en masse to support you on the message of “Your tangible situation will continue to be horrible, but letting those guys win will cause unimaginably worse horror” cycle after cycle and continue to get them to care, and it is understandable to for them to eventually wash their hands of it, because at the end of the day, voting associates you with this system, and it feels dirty to participate because it makes it feel like you bear responsibility for what a Faustian bargain it is every cycle.

I will keep showing up with a funeral dirge in my heart to vote for the lesser evil and attempt to hold back the bloodthirsty fascist horde yet again without hope for things actually improving, but I’m not the norm. Most sane people will eventually just walk away from it sooner or later because the reality is too unpalatable.

Honestly I wish the proud rigged market capitalists who don’t believe in progressive wealth redistribution, or a society with any equity, would stop calling themselves the “left.”

It’s nice that you support 2 homeless people being allowed to get married regardless of gender identity and live in the same refrigerator box in the same gutter, but the fact remains that no one should be homeless in a society that generates such wealth. This neoliberal mindset shouldn’t pass for left-wing. Our entire effective political spectrum has been reduced to “give rich people all the money and let people do what they want socially” and “give the rich people all the money and torture any non-white conservative Christians socially.”

And yes, i’m voting for Biden to stave off Jerry Lewis Hitler, just as I did last time and Clinton before, full well knowing it solves nothing and only slows the rate of descent into oligarchal madness and dystopia. It’s just voting to keep the water pumps running on the Titanic, it buys time, it is not a path to survival in itself.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

That actually makes Sisko sound so much worse.

It certainly didn’t live up to Federation ideals.

But then again Sisko should be a war criminal for using Biogenic weapons.

If you want to see someone do the ethically correct thing 10/10, even in the face of Starfleet failing to, Jean Luc is your captain.

I’ll bet Janeway and Sisko’s music playlists are a lot more fun though.

You know what?

WHAT THE HELL! 🦕🤠
