I get your point and share your worries, but I ended up concluding that I will regret more aiding the descent to fascism than being a casualty of it.

Think of all the people that survived Nazi Germany while being a collaborator and seeing all the horrors their cowardice helped to occur.

I don’t think that people would have happy lives after that, I know I wouldn’t.

Furthermore, I believe that if I don’t act now when is somewhat safe, I will act latter down the line and would definitely get killed.

Is your choice.

He doesn’t want competition.

You hit a critical point. The average human being is so self centred, that they won’t tolerate the smallest inconvenience unless it is in immediate direct benefit to them.

I don’t know man, at this point I’m not sure what is the distraction anymore…

I mean, Trump will die in a decade max, the shit that they are doing will damage the whole world for a hundred years.

Communism Bad!!!

• Forcing each other to give gift we can’t afford to people that doesn’t need them and probably will end up in a landfill in 2 years time. PD: It would be really interesting to research Christmas impact on the environment.

• Forcing each other to be appear to be happy when a lot of incredibly shitty shit is happening around the world. I’d rather call it Double blindfold holiday!

• Telling a mandatory lie to kids, that is effectively their forced introduction to a society that values and encourages deception and the disconnection from reality.

Fuck Christmas!!!

Sadly I think you are right. They need a World War to reset the global economy, otherwise the debt will come down crushing everything.

Its either world war or a systemic change.

Let’s try to push for the latter…

I believe that’s because they are the same as them (or would like to be) and would behave the exact same way if they were in their position.

While I agree with most of what you said, I cannot disregard how a swift change in politics can be introduced to satisfy the wims of the billonaires. We have recent and astounding examples (USA). Sadly I don’t trust humanity anymore. I don’t have a choice but to try to live my life the best I can, but I won’t force anyone else into existence.

Have a good one you too my friend!

Indeed my friend… Sad state of affairs.

When you realise that we already produce (and throw away) enough food to feed the whole planet, then its evident that scarcity is fabricated.

You mention animals, I would’ve thought we are better than them… Or at least we should try.

You know what beings live by the rule of virtue? Animals.

I believe we should aim for more.

In some countries you are a disease away of financial bankruptcy. Good luck being able to 100% guarantee a living.

Furthermore, this is the first generation that is worse off than the previous one, and its a trend that seems will continue.

In the lucky event of being part of the select 3% that has financial security, no luxury can shield you from the pain the rest of the people is suffering.

Maybe I’m a pessimist, but introducing a child into this roulette is not the kindest if you think about it.

I agree, that’s why I called them non-working socialist states.

My point is we haven’t yet seen how well (or bad) could a socialist state work if left alone.

One reason I can think is we haven’t yet seen a working socialist society, which often fail for external reasons.

For example, the socialist government in Cuba was severely undermined by the USA imposed blockade.

A more recent example is Venezuela, while you can think what you want about its current government, I don’t think USA should interfere with any sovereign nation.

There’s almost like a pattern, like someone, somewhere doesn’t like the idea of socialism to succeed.

In the case of people so influential as Elon and Trump, no one should laugh when they propagate insidious fake news, as the impact such thing has in our society can not be underestimated. If you laugh about someone committing a crime, in my eyes you are also part of the problem.

Is far right and meat eating leaning for sure.

I sincerely hope you find some peace in your life.

Woow, this escalated quickly! Chill the fuck down 🥶

Lemmy.world was affected too, how come? ಠ_ಠ
