  • This is a pretty pessimistic take. We are seeing increases in “folk heroes” to increasing repression and violence from the state. That’s a positive trend. The whole world is lurching toward the right. Stop shitting on other people for not doing something and do something yourself. Or encourage others and spread ideas. Start a strike in your town, start a buy nothing movement. Do anything but shit on an entire group of people for “failing” your apparent standards. It doesn’t help—if helping move the world in the right direction is even something you actually care about.





  • Yeah the problem is with all the deregulation on generational wealth and workarounds for rich people to stockpile and keep their money, the offspring of the ruling class will be the same kind of assholes. Look at Sam Altman, he’s not old. Look at mark whateverthefuck. He’s not old. Now, those people didn’t exactly inherent their money, but you can’t tell me these guys won’t be around for the next 40 years fucking shit up. And their kids? And the kids of all the Murdochs, the bush kids, the Koch offspring…there are a lot of shitty families able to reproduce and spread their sickness. This isn’t going to wind down and give us a fresh start. These rich people will be protected by an increasingly violent state and they will all burn it down before they let it change. They’re not weakening over time. They’re amassing even more wealth and the regulations and ideas around capitalism are only getting more virulent and violent. We aren’t about to ride off into the sunset on the backs of a new generation. They are going to be focusing on surviving, more than we ever were.
