Bad people are motivated by ego, power, greed, and fear. The ones at the top running things are those who desire external control because they are ego and fear driven. The exact kind of people you don’t want running the show.

I think we should be looking inter dimensionally for alien life rather than extraterrestrial.

We all have our weaknesses and faults. No need to dismiss every relationship due to imperfections.

Wow something I actually agree with (even if I know the money won’t be going back to the taxpayer)

If you happen to live in Massachusetts, US, Uber drivers are now making minimum $32/hr. This is of course without subtracting gas, wear and tear, psychotherapy for having to deal with passengers, etc. … but still.

I know this is just a meme post, but I find ancient symbolism fascinating. Pictographic language and imagery is so interesting to me.

Yeah that pesky balance of powers thing is such a nuisance and all.

And it squeals out too. High pitched squeal noise

I’ve been eating ham and mayonnaise sandwiches for 60 years, and I feel terrible

So my comment was meant to be a shared experience of struggle that others could hopefully relate to in solidarity. Not an opinion or argument. That may not have been clear from my comment.

There’s nothing privileged about quitting a job.

I would 100% disagree with your statement here. There absolutely is privilege in being able to quit a job for some other argument than “I fucking need the money to feed my family this week”

Maybe you have never been in such a situation? I have, and I’ll tell you that it fucking sucks. Having to choose between moral values you hold very close to heart and risking not having a paycheck to care for a number of dependents is not a decision that any person should be forced to make.

The rest of your comment follows from the assumption of a misunderstood conclusion of mine, so I will stop here. Don’t mind clarifying anything though.

Edit: Also, what does “muting thread” mean? Is that “adult speak” for “I don’t wanna talk to you anymore”?

My thoughts as well. “Lol go ahead and fire me? Either I’ll just take another wage slave job or realize that you really fucking need my labor. Either way, two scenarios I can risk myself being in”

I also realize this is a very privileged position to have. Because I’m in such a position, I can be truer to my moral compass and values. Behaving in ways that enrich myself at the expense of others wellbeing would be extremely selfish since I can actually choose not to be selfish and still live a relatively privileged lifestyle.

Just kind of wanting to let people know that even in the fairly upper echelons of social status, there are those who fucking hate the system. I’m economically satisfied, but I’m incredibly deprived of human experience and brotherhood.

The few organizations and groups I’ve been in that had real class consciousness were the most alive and joyous I’ve ever felt, even though at the time I was dirt shit poor. I would give anything to go back to those times. And I am now realizing this wish of mine isn’t fantasy. Enough human courage and anything is possible.

I wasn’t actually being sarcastic lmao

I was being sarcastic

It literally isn’t

Ok but the UAP shit is pretty crazy tbh. And almost no one talks about it. Something is going on.

Survivorship bias

Unless he wanted to get caught. If this really is the same guy (which I’m not entirely convinced yet).

As it turns out, you only need like around 5% of the population to start a revolution (if even that amount). Revolutions have been started with even fractions of a percent.
