    I’m an optimist, so I’ll believe one day we’ll have a utopian society like in Star Trek. I ask politely you don’t criticize me too harshly

      Hey, that’s a reasonable thing to hope. The flip side, of course, is that I’m hoping I don’t have to live through Star Trek’s idea of how the 21st century goes. They definitely got all of the details wrong, but I’m afraid the vibes are matching a little too well.

        Hey, we’ve still got 2 months to the Bell Riots, and DeSantis was talking about putting all the homeless people in Florida on an island

      While I agree, I’m skeptical that we’ll see any meaningful advance toward that end in our lifetimes.

        It will get a lot worse before it gets any better

        The hand has been played and trend has been set, I don’t see anything coming close to a reversal, short of gereatric nepo babies dying off but their replacements don’t look any better…

        Sucks to suck

                Hoping for something like that without taking direction action today is naive.

                Direct action won’t fix shit unless critical mass does it, so also got to spread the word about the fuckening we are enduring, most people are really not aware of the conditions on the ground beyond their personal experiences.

                    1. Vote with your money, esp with mega corps
                    2. Don’t suck some political or business daddies’ dick for free, these people are your enemies, treat them as such
                    3. Ask for raises every year, switch jobs as needed to keep market rate pay
                    4. Consume less
                    5. Don’t engage in political circle jerks
                    6. Don’t dunk on the poors
                    7. Freedom is privacy and security, physical and digital
                    8. Educate people around you about these things.

                I lack the constitution for that also that’s what regime would want you to do anyway…

                why give them the pleasure when you can impose costs on them for their misconduct.

      I think it’s as relistic a future as the complete destruction of mankind, but your point of view makes life a lot more enjoyable. Here’s a nice quote to back it up:

      “There is nothing like a dream to create the future” - Victor Hugo
