I take great solace in knowing that for all the dirty tricks we play on one another to fuck each other over and get moar, greed made climate change itself cannot be bribed, discredited, scapegoated, cut in, threatened, me too-ed, or divided into attacking itself instead. That shit only works on other humans but it’s hilarious to see humanity try anyway, because it’s all we know to do for our problems.

I feel bad for all the innocent species we’re taking with us, and the ecosystem for the next 2 or so million years while the earth recovers from us as it has with other runaway metastatic mistakes of evolution that threatened the whole, see the trees of the carboniferous period, but Im glad our reign of terror on this world, the creatures on it, and each other will end soon, and no amount of human bullshitting will save us.

HR is the office cop.

NEVER talk to American cops.

My HR and I have a wordless dirty look relationship.

How does it solve anything beyond the shortest of terms to keep seeing salvation in a party thats been creeping right in line with the Fascists for half a century?

What will your opinion be in another 5-8 years when the Democrats have followed the Overton window into calling for extralegal deportations of naturalized citizens and Republicans are just calling for the whites to shoot the non-whites in the street with impunity?

“Better support the Democrats, they only want to deport those people to foreign prisons not execute them on the sidewalk! Get that both sides crap out of here!”

-You in 5 years, probably.

I’m saying that human civilization, and especially puritanical societies of this civilization of which we are one in the US, have walled away the core of what we are, animals that want to fuck, trained us through a prism of shame to loathe that part of us, that we darkly call being civilized, and filled our days generating things that will provide us no meaning, as the closest thing to meaning that can be derived by our biology is getting as much dopamine and serotonin as possible through physical human connection, and we spend most of our time being told the greatest lever for that is shameful and harmful usually because it doesn’t make strangers richer, which is ridiculous in an age where if we had the correct priorities we would be able to do for fun as procreation that comes as a result is now chemically optional.

My point is humanity spends a whole lot of its time being miserable, toiling for widgets, to pursue or accept sexual partners in a roundabout way because we’ve made that that a small, token, conditional cookie for doing the “important” stuff, which I find sad and fascinating to observe. The point being used as a bargaining chip for the pointless, and then all parties wondering why they’re still anxious and depressed because they either didn’t come to terms, or because they did and it turns out all the plastic, silicon, and tea in china can’t provide even a passing shadow of the fulfillment of genuine, physical human connection can, and even that physical human connection is tarnished being turned into just another form of currency or coercion for stuff that doesn’t matter at all. How much does humanity toiling for that does not matter instead of fucking?

Tldr humanity would be happier if we were trained to see sex as connection with one another and not that dirty, evil thing of which we rarely speak and if we do it is with the utmost sense of serious danger. It’s too late for most existing humans though, as you can’t go to full grown adults steeped in that cultural stigma and say “oops we fucked up, our sexuality isnt some taboo evil thing with no place in society.” The damage is done. My hill is that shouldn’t continue that harmful culture going forward, but I recognize I’ll die on that hill as a tiny minority that sees the harm it does.

Sexuality is the point.

We spend a lot of time pursuing staggeringly and self-evidently pointless and stupid shit while suppressing and teaching being ashamed of sex and sexuality, to the point many just categorize their sexuality under potential trauma if engaged.

If we spent a lot less time grinding for nothing of import and more time fucking one another rather than fucking one another over for paper simulacra of supposed value, our species would be far more well adjusted. Even the difference between less prudish Europe and the puritanical US in general mental health is extremely apparent.

The way we treat sex, as something to shame behind close doors rather than celebrate, as we glorify plastic and silicon garbage, is beyond ridiculous and leads to shame and trauma in girls who become women and anger and resentment in boys that become men. We aren’t economic value producing machines, we’re fucking machines. We denied that at our peril, and now very few are happy with the state of things. Breathtakingly bad priorities.

The cost to current ecosystems will be severe, but this has happened before and is necessary. See the trees of the carboniferous period.

The Earth will cleanse the runaway evolutionary mistake causing inconvenience to its larger biome, repair itself afterwards, and all will be right with the world.

In a few million years it’ll be as if our entire species never existed. What a wonderful planet and mother we betrayed.

I appreciate the comment, we made our bed when a gun wasn’t to our head. Twice.

And I’ll argue to the end of the world that Reagan did more harm to this country and the world than Trump can ever hope to. You don’t get to Trump without the Economic betrayal, getting the people’s opposition party permanently on the oligarch take, and the war on science/knowledge/facts/education that get in the way of short term private profit without the Reagan/Welch revolution, that infected Europe too sadly, notably cooperation of message with that bitch Thatcher. The UK is basically a little Forward Operating Base for our greed disease and conversion of nation states into exploiters of their people now.

Trump is just the latest rot of the corpse of the shitty nation Reagan killed. He just isn’t remembered that way because feigned statesmanship as he sold us off piece by piece and set this slow coup in motion.

Don’t. Give. Your. Economic. Elite. A. Single. Centimeter. It’s too late for us, but you can be saaaaaaaaaaaaaved.

I say this as an American.

You’re all better than us, a lot of people here voted for the Trump, and most of us are so successfully deluded by oligarch propaganda that many blame our powerless, homeless neighbors that we abandoned and betrayed for what the owners inflict on us.

We are gaslit beyond all hope. We can’t even agree as a society that our children should be fed, and this madness of greed and demented levels of toxic individualism didn’t start with Trump. It boggles my mind that people have actually wanted to immigrate here in my 40 years living inside this cesspool, only good at being an exporter of death and state mandated avarice.

Unless you’re wealthy, or are sociopathic enough to become so because sociopathy is what we reward, this is a garbage place of largely garbage people. Most here would rather burn ourselves and the world than disempower our capitalists, as that would be “socialism,” a word our captured government rebranded as a boogieman and that, by design, most Americans couldn’t actually define with access to one of our underfunded libraries and a gun to their head.

Because unrestrained capitalism will not slow its demand for metastasis at any human cost.

Capitalism is literally sacrificing humanity’s existence in the coming decades in the name of the next quarter’s metastasis expectations.

Don’t worry, the owner class’ service staff buys exclusively Whole Foods equivalent organic, non-gmo, plastic free food sold in artisinal, hand blown glass made from exploited third world poories. They’ll be healthy as long as there’s still a stable climate zone to scurry off to, and even then they have luxury bunkers for their families where they’ll spend their final decades sipping expensive whiskeys and wines muttering about how it was the poor people’s faults for not working hard enough that made the surface a deathtrap for modern humans.

If you’re offering me a closet to live in over there where people act like a society then yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

This is exploitation, antisocial hell. We aren’t a society so much as a gaggle of rugged individuals at each other’s throats for ever dwindling oligarch scraps. There is no hope here, no community, only tribal division and hatred stoked 24/7 by for profit media, with intentionally poor public education that doesn’t teach basic critical thinking or reasoning that leaves most unable to separate the propaganda from reality.

People have just started to realize after 50 years that both major parties, and our system undermines the formation of a third major party, stand with the robber barons against needs of the people while stoking social division to protect the robber barons from reprisal.

Kinda demoralizing. Especially considering all the “Herp derp Freedom” kool-aid poured down our throats from birth.

Oh wow, I just took them as cowards/selfish fucks that said not their problem.

Hard disagree.

Tell them you know where to find lots of heavily armed illegals up to no good, and give them the names and addresses of any Maga friends and family members you know.

Maybe lie that their last names are Sanchez or Ramirez. Waste their time and energy. If they come back, just shrug and say you thought your racist Mom/dad/uncle/supervisor was an illegal but thanks for investigating.

I’m on there, and one IMHO objectively good thing is the direct and hyper friendly interaction between regular Chinese peasants and regular American peasants. We’re supposed to be “adversaries” according to both governments. Bridging solidarity and developing empathy between the laborers of both nations undermines both corrupt empires.

When the Nordic countries launch good social media platforms, I’ll defect to them. In the meantime, if you’re on social media that isn’t instanced like this, you’re on social media spawned under the umbrella of a corrupt empire with blood on its hands.

No reason not to play one off the other. No reason to have any allegiance to any of them. If anything, I think the peasants of two countries that are supposed to be “adversaries” talking to each other and realizing we’re fundamentally more the same than different as is happening on Rednote can only be a positive thing.

Truly Up vs. Down. Laborers vs elite. That transcends borders.

A literal popular Chinese social media app similar to TikTok that has become the top App store app that TikTok users are defecting to because of the ban, bragging about handing their data to China because they no longer respect the US government, and also bragging they’d literally trust the CCP before they’d trust Zuck, Musk, or Trump.

Reveling in pettiness, yes. But reveling nonetheless. It’s actually a lot of fun and refreshing to see Americans and Chinese intermingling and sharing culture, so I’m sure it’ll be banned too. But it’s going to be fun watching our captured government play whackamole to do what they really banned TikTok for: to control the narrative and domestic spying through Meta and X.
