  • No I want both of them to unalive, preferably as violently as possible. Unemployment is a vastly flawed metric that doesn’t account for underemployment or discouraged workers, and real wages would be significantly down if the government was accurately measuring inflation, which they’re intentionally not doing so they can continue to pretend that everything’s fine.

    I mean personally what bothers me about it is that it’s all AI-generated. Personally seeing an AI image just kills any potential humor. Even the lowest effort of slapping two images on top of each other in PowerPoint would be preferable. And in fact the lack of effort in and of itself can be funny there too. But there’s nothing creative or interesting about asking an AI image generator to make a funny image imo

    Yeah, you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying dude. Everything you just said is plainly obvious to anyone with eyes. I’m saying that killing yourself and “competing” within the system are the same thing, letting the system win. And you have a third option, which you describe as “collaborating with others” (pretty accurate I might add), by which the system can be defeated. But if you kill yourself or assume the system is infallible, you are complicit in allowing the system to continue to fester and make everyone else miserable.

    The working class has always had the power to end this when acting as a collective, but hyperindividualism and decades of propaganda have convinced people that it is impossible. People like you, who could’ve truly made a difference but ultimately chose to suffer in silence believing it was what was best for their family. Even those who are aware enough to recognize these problems still are crushed under the weight of the sheer number of problems to solve. This is by design, it makes it more intimidating to overcome and prevents anyone from even attempting. Yet the system will crumble on its own sooner or later, it’s already an unstable system built on the impossible dream of infinite expansion. We need only exploit this dream to accelerate the destruction of the system, and as a side effect, the liberation of the oppressed.




  • The only reason anyone cares is because of post WW2 guilt and oil interests. There are other places on earth in nearly the exact same situation (two unsupportable regimes both claiming sovereignty over the same region and committing war crimes against each other) and no one cares about them, let alone even knowing what places I’m talking about, simply because there’s no oil involved. The answer is fundamentally the same as when you’re walking down the street and see two drunk guys hitting each other. You ignore them and keep walking. Some people just want to do bad things and there’s not really anything you can do to stop them. By getting involved you inherently are forced to choose sides and now are supporting someone who doesn’t deserve to be supported.



  • Tl;Dr of history of israel-palestine conflict:

    Britain colonizes Palestine and makes it Israel

    Israel recognizes this as kinda bullshit and willingly offers basically half the land to existing Palestinians and also offers full citizenship to any Palestinian who wishes to remain in what is now Israel.

    Palestine refuses the deal, declares war on Israel

    Israel kicks their ass, again offers a deal with less land

    Palestine again says no, basically a cold war begins

    Other Arab countries refuse to allow Palestinians to move there, also declare war on Israel and get their asses kicked

    Terrorists begin attacking Israel from Palestine, especially from the West Bank

    Those terrorists are elected to run Palestine in a free and fair election

    Israel begins committing human rights violations against Palestinians

    We’ve now been at this last stage for at least two decades, possibly longer but I can’t be bothered to fact check myself on the exact dates right now. And yes, this is absolutely as short as the TL;DR on this situation can get, I’m 100000% sure both sides will get upset about details I left out even in this longer story.
