    Yeah, this is kind of my attitude as well, sadly. I’m a younger millennial, but I feel I’ve been around long enough to determine we’re truly just a pot of boiling crabs dragging everyone else down to try to save ourselves.

    I think one of the hardest parts of getting older, at least for me, is watching the childlike wonder and hope for the world within yourself slowly vanish. I’ll never stop fighting the good fight, but the light has definitely died in my heart. Honestly, sad as fuck.

      Hope is a toxic ideaology. It does nothing but destroy us, like a cheap steak in hydrofluoric acid.

      It stays our hand, and slows our response.

      Hope needs to die.

      and be replaced by an unbridled, mindless, blackout rage.

        Let me introduce sociopath theory.

        Their lack of morals allows them to rapidly accumulate money and power. Once entrenched, they continue amass wealth and power far beyond what is healthy for functioning societies. People don’t check this accumulation because individually they are moral humans who it pains in the extreme to seriously injure another human on their own (Luigi is an extreme exception driven by unbearable pain). But, when it gets bad enough, the poor, the losers in the sociopath race, normally isolated, begin to bond together to protect themselves from predation. This bonding together decreases the individual emotional burden of doing violence. People mob up … emboldened by those around them. At a certain point, it goes critical and elite heads roll far and wide.

        At that point, the sociopaths are purged and the moral can go back to some form of just governance for a decade or two until the sociopaths begin to claw it all back.

        Que the “ableist” hate mail.

                Well thats not your decision to make-- at the ballot box or here. So thats just like, your opinion, man. I did fill out the ballot by the way. I just left the president line empty. And I’ll cheerfully do it again next time if the Dems keep supporting zionism. And again and again forever. Theres not a thing you can do about that. Cheers, pal.
