We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

I was chatting with with my bro today. I asked "how do you just - do that heinous shit?" I remarked that I could never do what they did to those people if i got rich and powerful.

He's like "you sure? How do you know you wouldn't?"

And the more i think about it, I'm not so sure. Are we all just monsters forced to be good by the status quo? Are we brainwashed to be good? Is being evil the best way to live and we're all just suckers?

I honestly feel sick thinking about the implications.

How can good ever win? What the hell can we do?

Sorry for the cringy rant but I'm pretty broke up about it.

we are products of our environement, to a degree. but to achieve that level of wealth and power, you have to be missing something that makes you a human being. and that thing is empathy.

some people become numb and lose it on the way to their "success", others are simply born without it and have no qualms.

but the truth of the matter is, that if they didnt have that money and power. their ability to organize the way that they did, to manipulate the population, to change our futures, would not have been possible. at least at this scale.

therefore. for the good of humanity to win. we must completely remove the option of anyone attaining that level of wealth and power, ever again.

basically. we have to adopt a form of global socialism, and then eventually an environmentally focused form of communism. equality, in balance with nature.

its either that, or we continue to be controlled by pedophile capitalists and techno feudal lords, focusing on the economy and how many things they can make us subscribe to or rent, while killing us off en mass, here and there. until we all die from some horrible resource war, or mass extinction from climate collapse and its related biproducts.

adapt or die.
