I’ve been trying to grapple with this recently. And I always end up with " well, the macro level might be fucked, but I can still work on my house and enjoy small hobbies and focus on the micro level of existence."

Except the macro issues (higher gas, inflation, ice, climate change, etc) just completely dominates the micro level. What good will enjoying my hobbies do when I can’t get the materials for them and the world outside is burning? Feels too much like burying my head in the sand.

Yes I vote every election, state and federal. Maybe get off the internet? But again, feels like burying my head in the sand. Idk anymore really.

Disingenuous

I know what you’re saying is probably the best course of action. But they are so disingenuous I just cannot trust them. Their entire basis of voting for him was out of selfishness and hate.

If I were Brad Pitt at the end of Seven, I would absolutely pull that trigger. I’m sorry.

You’d be surprised

“Honey can you pick me up. I don’t know how but my car somehow ran out of gas.”

They legit believe that if a den democrat was in power things would be worse. I don’t know if there is a floor for them to consider maybe the guy they voted for is actually hurting them

It’ll just be a corprate circle jerk of companies paying each other for “products and services”. People will work for food an be shelter, provided by the company you work for. I believe the kids are calling it “techno-feudalism”.

Tech bros reinventing shit again. I remember the time one of them invented taxes again lol.

Lawyer: “My client is in a penny.” Judge: “What??” Lawyer: “He’s “in-a-cent””

Lol

Yeah that’s probably the truth. People complain about shitty roads, so politicians try to increase the gas tax and people just vote no out of instinct. And then the loop just continues forever.

Oi luv! Let’s see your gorilla statue license!

Others pointed out its probably to replace the gas tax they won’t be subject to. And I almost thought it was alright until I remembered most of our roads/infrastructure doesn’t get repaired as it is.

I’m banned from a bunch of random places cuz I made a joke about Jack Ma disappearing for “re-education”. Loud critic of the CCP. Goes missing unexpectedly for a bit. Returns and suddenly sings the praises of the CCP. Definitely not fishy at all and you can’t joke about it.

“And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”

Sorry about your capitalism brainwashing.

Ok sure but the question was “why is this getting downvoted?”

Dumb fuck, cum truck, tummy tuck, titty fuck. Bong rips, vape hits, fake tits, suck my dick!

Ahh the Heinz dilemma!! Nothing to do with ketchup, but used in Kholbergs Stages of Moral Development or something like that. Except it was a medicine that could cure your sick wife.
