    Yeah it’s pretty stupid to slave away under liberal capitalism and expect anything. We clearly don’t live in a utopia, yet these people act like we do and expect to be rewarded by it.

    Once people start living in reality and realising our innate worth is more than a number on a corporate timesheet, maybe we can get somewhere.

      We could talk but their isn’t some brain trust that is just waiting to be awaken. There is no grand self actualization. Quit wishing for it. People are dumb, scared, complacent creatures. Quit waiting for them to come together, hold hands, and stop the violence.

      Thats reality.

        False. Why do you refuse others their dignity? Is it because you have lost respect for yourself?

          Its been a while since I’ve seen a Dwight style objection. I need a second to adjust to this level of scrutiny.

            Oh, please don’t adjust on my account. I’m just disagreeing with you fundamentally and wondering why you feel the way you do.

              Im speaking in aggregate. I dont feel the need to write a thesis on the blunders of humanity. If there is hope for the public to elevate themselves to this level altruism I’ve yet to see it. Not in my day and age.

        We don’t need a brain trust, we need you lot to start using what you already have.

        Reality is, as long as people like you argue and fight to defend the harmful status quo, things will only ever get worse. But this attitude is so deeply ingrained into you, that you can’t even see that all humans have the same worth.
