It’s becoming a lot easier to use the internet a lot less. It’s been turned into such a user-hostile space so domineered by corporations and fascists that most of the internet doesn’t really hold much of an appeal anymore, at least for me.

If the internet died tomorrow and didn’t come back, I’d be annoyed about not being able to use it to order food, manage my bank account, or watch shows/movies, but the world would likely be an overall better place once logistics re-adapted to not having it.

The internet was cool for the first 10-15 years, but it’s been a rapidly worsening cesspit for a long time. Nothing the internet can offer us is worth also tolerating it as a tool for inescapable government and corporate surveillance, and as the most effective imagineable breeding ground for fascism and disinformation.

The internet makes our lives worse in so many more ways than it imporves them, and people are too fucking addicted to it to give a shit.

Fuck the 2nd Amendment.

How many brain sugeries did he perform? How many spaceflight trajectories did he calculate? How many high speed computer processors did he engineer?

Mitch McConnell has personally done more harm to the people of the US than anyone since Reagan. He is one of the greatest monsters in modern American history, directly responsible for immeasurable human suffering and he does not deserve to live.

The next one needs to kill him, and I hope it happens on camera for all of us to watch, because it’s the closest tbong to justice he will ever face.

Yeah, fuck specialists! If you aren’t good at everything, you’re worthless!

Hey, you shouldn’t make fun of congressmen with severe learning disabilities.

I’m not going to be nice to people who insist on keeping the world a dying, dystopian shithole, and it’s not my job to think for them. If people refuse to take a moral stance in the face of societal destruction, they can go fuck themselves and deserve to be belittled.

It’s legitimately cool that buying a new car and having any self-respect whatsoever are mutually exclusive now.

Fuck cars.

My bad. I didn’t realize I was talking to someone stupid enough to look at the state of the world and still be able to cling to the idea that large-scale industrialism has a viable place in the future of society.

You can plan whatever you want, it doesn’t change reality.

It’s because no one is willing to work anymore.

They’ve got nothing but excuses. “I can’t come in today, I got the plague” and “my kid got eviscerated by a hippo, I need the day off for the funeral” and “this famine is making food unaffordable, please pay us more.” They’re all just lazy and ungrateful for the privilege of toiling.

Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?

Why would we not have those things? Are you incapable of conceptualizing having motivations for creating and doing things other than for financial profit? Why, in your estimation, can’t we have a system were people do things because they care about those things and they’re worth doing because they benefit everyone?

Money is an artificial construct serves no real purpose other than to consolidate power and resources into the hands of a few by depriving the many and keeping them in servitude. Removing money as a motivation, if something is worth having, people will want to have it, which means that some of those people will still choose make/do that thing for their own benefit, which in turn benefits everyone.

If the point of working for money is to use that money to obtain goods and services, there’s no reason to just get rid of the money aspect and just make those goods and services available directly. The only thing that really changes is that we stop over-working ourselves to over-produce frivolous bullshit for the sake of generating more wealth for the wealthy while being denied the fruits of that work.

I don’t need to live in a place to know that heat domes, droughts, and rampant wildfires do not describe a place that’s “probably survivable.” You will not be able to live there 15-20 years from now.

Yup. Famously, no one ever created art until capitalism came around to turn it into a commodity.

Did you forget what happened there last summer?

Would you rather go back to white people invading third world countries? That’s the alternative. I sure don’t want that, you’re a shitty person if you do.

You’re missing the concept completely. It’s not about not perfoming labor, it’s about eliminating work.

Labor is performing tasks that need to be done to meet the needs of the individual and the community. That’s not what work is. Work is exploitation. Work is about financial profit for the benefit of the powerful few at the expense of the worker.

Work is parasitism. It forces us into a life of ruthless, competitive struggle and leaves the loser majority in miserable, pointless servitude. Labor is an act of necessity and generosity, not a commodity. It has purpose and serves the whole, which then serves the individual. Labor creates, supports, and improves the community, while work domineers it and drains it for the profit of others.

There already is. It’s “work reform.”
