I disagree that it was a good run. There have been great people, great ideas... but they'll all get washed away to nothing in the deluge of those who are empty and careless. I think that's really what bothers me the most. It's not that there are so many terribly stupid people. It's that the intelligent people are so exceedingly rare that they cease to matter within the masses. Actually, maybe that is truly the problem. Intelligence inequality. If we were all stupid or all smart, I feel that everything would be less tragic. If we were all stupid, I and others wouldn't be intelligent enough to experience the differential that causes suffering. If we were all smart, climate change wouldn't even be happening. There are people who do want to help, who do want better. Few can hear. Most can't even understand when they do. That is unfortunately the nature of being alternative. Perhaps eventually such won't be alternative. Only time can truly tell. Perhaps being human will be something to be proud of... however, I sincerely doubt it. The death we have caused just because we could, within my lifetime let alone further, is basically unforgivable. Our current global oligarchs make Hitler look like a bitch. The devastation that has ensued in the last half century and what's coming in the near future is beyond atrocious. The struggle that so many people live every single day, the torture that so many species are actively experiencing, we humans have turned our planet into a literal hell. Maybe something will miraculously break the societal bubble, people will realize how wrong everything has become, and we'll have a sudden burst of sociological evolution. Many are trying! There's just so many more that aren't. In fact, the ones that are most against those trying are the ones with the most power in our world. Until that changes, the odds against us all do seem insurmountable.

I've officially said my goodbyes. It's absolutely fucked over there. This is just one of many serious problems with Reddit. The CEO is tanking it harder than Musk tanked Twitter. He's musk'd it.

Plastic manufacturing and pollution hurts the entire world, including what is basically lobbyists that they let in to derail the conversation. 99% of plastic production should have ceased 10 years ago. This article made me cry (but thank you for sharing).

I am constantly dumbfounded how many of the highly capitalist nations pretend to have such a focus on family when it's so clear that they care so little about them. More time working = less time with your family. They also push for bigger families too, so that individual children receive even less attention. It's so weird.

I don't think quitting should be quiet. I also don't believe in this bullshit about food costing money. We pay too much in taxes that pretty much all farms rely on for that shit. If farmers truly do need more so everyone can have free food, for fuck's sake, give them more. Why the hell are we paying so much to kill people instead of feed people? I'd so much rather pay a farmer than the military industrial complex, and frankly, I think most people would. We have to rise up. The corporations and the errant worker actually aren't even the biggest problem with this story. The main problem is the government is not doing their fucking job, which is to properly distribute.

Hahaha, that's fucking awesome. Good on 'em. Break Shell. Break petrochemicals. Disgusting, nasty, lying abominations of industry.

I think it's so awesome they've done this. When you start bringing energy into the hands of local communities, it really shifts the economy towards more sustainability. The people can take care of themselves, while with green energy, doing the least harm possible to their environment. Admirable.

I got removed over on !climate for saying Tyson sucks. Thanks for sharing this news, yo. Here's my reiteration: FUCK YOU TYSON. YOU'RE FUCKING GROSS AND TERRIBLE AND YOU SHOULD BE REGULATED OUT OF EXISTENCE.

So, so many people are going to die. The current upper class is making all the mass murderers of the past look like specks, and yet, I don't see any more protests than I ever did. It's... truly surreal.

Whoever is going to be using it. It's not fucking complicated. Under (actual) communism the populace is educated to take care of themselves, unlike in capitalism, which purposefully perpetuates the class divide through lack of education to preserve hierarchy.

Absolutely vile. There is no level of evil that these petrochemical corporations won't stoop to. I truly can't fathom how people directly involved live with themselves.

Ikr, why is it so much to ask? People are still buying shitty products because they feel they need them for quality of life? Make the products and their producers not shitty. It's a simple solution and, in comparison to blaming the consumer, an effective one too.
