We are at a crossroads. One path leads to an eco-dystopia in which most of us become slaves to the 1%, vs. another path that leads to a futurist utopia in which we focus on solutions that benefit all of mankind and all the other lifeforms on the planet.
It seems like an easy choice except for that 43% of the american population that has been duped into fighting to make sure we end up in the dystopia because jesus and guns or whatever.
Is this not a simple trolley dilemma? When do we realize that we have to pull the switch? There's a way out of this that most of us don't seem to want to recognize. I've watched politics for over 30 years first person, and I don't see playing the simple democracy game getting us anywhere. I think we need to resort to more despicable measures. Does anyone agree?
Writing off a human being is never fun, even if its a lunatic bunch like the MAGA crowd.
But here starts the issue: The moment a human breaks away from the boundaries of reality, the chances of rescuing them just become so slim, expending the energy is not really worth it anymore. Maybe you do that with a dear friend or family member, but not with large ammounts of people in this country.
Another problem: They actively dismiss things that are objectively killing humanity as a whole. Climate Change, increasing far-right, ecocide, late-stage capitalism.
If they were just a bunch of cult-followers that would be one thing, following a grifting half-dead corpse of an epstein-friend to his never to early grave. But they are not only an obstacle, but a clear and present danger to humanity itself.
It genuinly pains me to say this: We simply do not have the time anymore do be compassionate. We either throw them off the ship, stear clear of the iceberg and save the ones who want back on board, or we all go down together.
If they want to pretend they're the Taliban or the Vietcong, let them try and let them die like idiots in the process of finding out that those organizations were actual professional armed combatants with training that amounts to more than shooting up beer cans at 40 paces.
The Bundy Clan's exploits have proven multiple times, if these morons actually press the right buttons to be determined as anything but a bunch of loons who just need to be talked down from the ledge, they'll end up so many kinds of dead that Saint Peter is going to be handling stack overflow errors looking their rap sheets up at the perly gates.
You’re sitting here, characterizing BIDEN as the person who will bring us:
a futurist utopia in which we focus on solutions that benefit all of mankind and all the other lifeforms on the planet.
How badly have worms have infected your brain when you honestly believe that Biden will bring you ANY of those things after 4 years of his administration loudly proclaiming, “best I can do is pretend that my hands were tied in helping US citizens in ANY way whatsoever. You’re lucky that I even pretend to pander.” and using his executive orders to send BILLIONS over there to help murder brown people and getting us into 7 wars?
You think that if Biden gets elected, he’ll suddenly create this utopia when in reality, we’ll be pretty much just as fucked as we are under a Trump presidency. These two are really only different in their rhetoric if you look at what Biden is doing at the border to appease conservatives.
you don't understand the game, what i'm really saying, or you're a russian bot.
where did i make an argument for joe biden? what the actual fuck do you think i'm saying? and do you really believe there will be no difference between a biden presidency and a trump presidency? you're a joke if so.
You know a dude wrote this because someone AFAB woulda remembered the trump court did Dobbs before saying something as tone deaf as "just as fucked as we are under a trump presidency"
Do you want to give him a chance to make it a unanimous SCOTUS to ban gay marriage this time? How many people who you're conspicuously aware are ahead of you on the kill list have to be sacrificed before you accept that just letting it go full speed is a worse option than even one that only slows it down?
