I'm very worried about everyone here. Really, I know that there is a way out that isn't suicide--it's revolution--but it seems like you've all submitted to Capitalist Realism. I've thought about risking my life in an attempt to overthrow the state, but unlike you all, I am legitimately afraid of losing my life. It'd be such a sad note to end my life on. I wouldn't be there to see any surprising good things happen. I wouldn't get to see a socialist system established before me, and I wouldn't be able to do anything to help anyone. How come you all feel fine about death? There's nothing afterwards. There were the Viet Cong who couldn't live to see their country establish socialism, there were the Leninists who died fighting the Tsar who couldn't see the Soviet Union come to be, there were the slaves who died in Southern plantations who couldn't see Juneteenth. If you were really willing to die, you'd die in battle.

The problem with the Western middle class is they've been conditioned to think they're part of the ruling class.

They believe that the ruling class' successes are their own, until it's time to get ready to go to work the next day.

They see themselves as above poor people and believe they're entitled to more before those who have less.

They always believe the solution to their problems is to make more, not spend less.

The issue isn't just capitalism. It's not just greed. It's a culture of consumerism. Hopefully anyone who has been around for a few decades can recognize how much the social landscape has changed in favor of encouraging people to sell themselves out as quickly as possible.

We are living in the most negative of peaces.

I've tasted friendship (Ha-ha)
I've tasted you (Oh no)
I've tasted dying and it tasted good
I've tasted heartbreak (Wah)
I've tasted food (Uh oh)
I've tasted dying and it tasted good

But that's dessert
You can have it when the dinner is gone
But that's dessert (Uh-hoo-ah-oh-ah-oh)
But that's dessert
You can have it when the dinner is gone
So put it down

Just let him rest, people.

Not everyone wants to exist. We didn't tell our parents to birth us.

Fuck it
