We’re fucked. It’s as simple as that. The world has fully entered into a somehow unprecedented age of corporatocracy and the future, at least the near future, is nothing but war and economic collapse. All of it, puppeteered by the richest of the rich, who have bought their way into power.
Beyond society as a whole, we all have our personal problems. We wouldn’t be here otherwise. I can’t speak for you, but I’m poor, dougly and mentally ill with no hope of ever finding love. My only purpose in society is to avoid the light and contribute to the Gross Domestic Product until I die alone and unloved. All I ever wanted was a girl to hug and a life to call my own, but I’ll never achieve that. What exactly is the incentive to not go postal?
Let’s be honest here: None of us are going rogue. We aren’t going to grab a gun and start killing the worst of the worst, the people who have destroyed our lives and or the lives of millions, the people who have benefitted from the creation of a soulless society, the people who ruined our lives. We are cowards. We can’t do it, I certainly know I can’t. It’s best not to kid ourselves here.
But you’ve thought about it, haven’t you? We all have, right? Of making an elaborate plan to slaughter the most despicable of individuals, making our escape with years of preperation, and fleeing to the Yukon, never to be caught? Am I the only one? Haven’t you thought this?
No I haven’t. I also don’t think the past was as great as you describe, compared to the present.
When I was 3 we had martial law in Poland which was upheld for years. My parents struggled to buy land because they weren’t in the party, they could only buy my grandfathers old car which was breaking down ever second time we went anywhere.
Now that my son is 2 we got martial law in South Korea, but people fought for democracy and it was gone after 6 hours.
Because I only have one life I’m trying to get the best out of it. I switched the environment a couple of time in my life and had to start from scratch. But I never had to go to war, neither did my father, while before that every generation had a war in their country.
I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s good enough not to think about going rogue from society.
This is the interesting thing. A lot of us who feel depressed about society never actually had any real hardships. We never fought in wars, we never had martial law, never lived under oppressive governments. Yet a lot of us are just unhappy with society.
As an old man, it is …frustrating to see the ‘nothing happened before I was born’ crowd telling us the world is doomed.
It’s selfish, privileged position and a worrying sign of excess news consumption.
Hello, it is I, your friendly Neighborhood FBI Agent. Why don’t we have a chat sometime? 🤗
I’ve gone rouge
No. I just want to live my life, surrounded by others that want to live theirs.
I cannot get away from those that cannot accept that. Putin, Kim, Desantis, and others make it impossible.
So, I put up with the dicks to keep the assholes away.
I think if I know I’m gonna die and I’ve still got my marbles I’m gonna run up a whole lot of credit card debt and maybe do some things that merit more jail time than I’m gonna live.
Stop being selfish and get some help.
No I haven’t.
Who does not. Right now I feel ashamed that we are just letting AI feudalism happen!
Interesting thoughts, but who is really willing to risk their life, family, and passion for that? I keep thinking I want change but also will never have internal peace by being worried about the state of the world…
No, I have standards (and a mobility-related disability). Murder is for those without an ounce of creativity and no humanity.
