    @Butters1017 You get it man, between the open fascism of Trump's first two weeks in office and discovering what AI billionaires actually want to happen, then the intersection of the two via the people involved at the highest levels of US government, as well as the fact that climate regulations will absolutely go out of the window, I don't think I've ever felt as long-term existentially hopeless in my entire life

    We pointed fingers at one side of the political aisle because they were the open hypocrites who’d been continuously defended by liberals who “care about responsible governance”

    Republicans simply admitted their inhumanity in the open so there was no reason to call out lies

    And now the other side took over and is actively f***ing up the country for the reasons of "responsible governance"

    Elon's with his hands in our treasury department data right now doing God knows what.

    And now trump's just gonna go into Gaza and have Americans kill those people because I guess he got jealous at America not getting a turn?

    This is literally no better. Yet we keep hammering one side. Now there's a bigger monster and i hear crickets.

    Jesus....we're about to occupy Gaza

    Wanna give a quick shout out to all those pieces of s*** who kept saying Biden this Biden that like Trump wasn't gonna be 10x worse.

    Ah yes, the piece of s*** arabs who’s families and friends overseas were killed in cold blood by Biden arming Netanyahu. What the hell were they thinking?

    capitalism is literally wage slavery

    they don't need to return to actual slaves in terms of bondage

    they have that with prison labor in spades and they can continue to just do what theyre doing

    Okay, I see you're not grasping what I'm saying now haha.

    Envision a world where most human labour is worthless, outdated, and useless compared to mechanical and technological labour. This is our future.

    The majority of people will have no opportunities to produce any income of their own. Aside from certain jobs requiring human labor, which all of a sudden sees a massive surge in available workers - leading to extreme competitiveness for the now small workforce.

    Pay rates drop dramatically, workers rights dissipate, jobs go to the lowest bidders. And we are left with a sea of the unemployed, ready to lick a toilet so they can afford rent, or maybe even just a meal.

    Capitalism has one goal; min max the environment to create the highest financial gain. And our government is owned by those running this system.

    Is the current system slavery under the leftist rhetoric? Yes, obviously, I fully agree with that. In general I fully agree our system is a form of slavery.

    But to imply it can't or won't get worse? Absolutely will not agree there on that one. Especially with ai and automation quickly positioning our system, government, and the ultra wealthy to be ready to truly min max the capitalist system for all its worth.

    I also completely affirm the belief these ultra wealthy are fully aware a collapse is coming, so they will continue to make sure they're the ones on top, or die trying. Or at least kill a ton of the poors trying.

    I'm ready for communism to take over. But I'm not going to believe we will see anything like the Russian revolution as there's been 100 years for capitalists to prepare against it, and the world is already incomparable to where it was even 30 years ago.

    Who said I'm defending child killers?

    I'm shouting out morons who sat here pointing the finger at one side of the political aisle when both sides are just going to kill men women and children.

    It just seems like many of those same people can't bring themselves to criticize trump.

    You mean Trump who wasn’t president for 4 years? Why do you guys repeat this when Biden was in office, is it just broken record at this point?

    It doesn’t make sense to focus on Trump, and ppl have literally in this thread and before said “both sides are imperialist” “this has been going on before Oct. 7 aka before Biden took office aka Trump first term)

    It’s not even a good defense at this point, just willfully not wanting to expand your horizon

    And there’s plenty of critiques of the bourgeoisie in general from communists on this site I doubt I have to elaborate there, apparently when it comes to foreign policy and Gaza during a Democrat admin it’s easier to laser focus on when we do (rightfully) put more light on Biden

    I would say we should focus on the current president who isn't just sending missles over there for Israel to use.

    Now we're sending people over to personally kill Palestinians for the reasons of building real estate for trump.

    If you can't wrap your mind around this being even worse than you've lost the plot.

    He’s never going to mars and he doesn’t have some novel plan for climate change. He’s simply going to kill anyone in his way.

    The difference is nominal at best. Israel has always been America’s outpost in the ME. This is the exact same a***ysis any educated person has had

    He's been talking about this prior. This isn't an entirely new thing. The occupation is, but his plans for it were not new. He has often talked of building s*** in Gaza. I wonder how he was gonna accomplish that hmmm?

    But people kept warning you s*** like this would happen. But everyone buries their heads. And now you wanna pop up and get furious even though you were told this would be even worse. F***ing idiot. Added to the list.

    Are you involved anywhere in your local community then?

    Your entire premise is “trust the dnc” and “get angry over Trump like yall did with Kamala”

    While you have literally been s***ting and crying in this thread since Kamala loss over Trump kicking down your door as dragging you to a FEMA camp

    It is bleak but crying on ktt and saying “FOCUS ON TRUMP”… while I guess dunking on commies or whatever isn’t gonna change

    It’s you that are freaking out and wondering why everything seems to be “accelerating” and the DNC is toothless

    He’s never going to mars and he doesn’t have some novel plan for climate change. He’s simply going to kill anyone in his way.

    Maybe it is, maybe it isnt

    I remember people saying camping immigrants was sensationalist bullshit 4 months ago

    I remember people saying trump dissolving the education department was sensationalist bullshit last weekend

    But I don't aim to go tit for tat like that.

    Why would he not want to colonize a planet? There is so much money to be made with a workforce mining/extracting resources from a planet, let alone constructing civilization there.

    At this point it's obviously too soon though, so I view it more as posturing. Or maybe he does want to create some form of civilization there for the elite to escape the impending doom of climate change? Make it a lil rich kid table utopia.

    But yes it's pretty far fetched and we have no idea what will come out of it, if anything soon. Though it's not like the earth will be perfectly inhabitable forever.

  • the fact so many people think that the majority of nonvoters were fringe leftist types that wouldn’t budge on certain issues is so comedic and objectively untrue it shouldn’t even be entertained anymore. nonvoter numbers this year are consistent with the usual nonvoter turnout it usually is in election cycles outside covid due to mail in/early votes

    To add another piece; there's so much more that should be done first with space prior to mars too. I can see talk of a space elevator, or asteroid mining coming first.

    I will forever be pissed with nasa getting cut. We should have been engaging in so many space goals right now, many could straight up fund our government and more.

    These opening weeks have been so incompetent and unapologetically evil that, today, my conservative dad told me he thinks the Dems sandbagged themselves with Kamala knowing Trump would set back Republicans for decades if he won.

    I wouldn't agree with that, but I think a lot of people underestimated how much damage and chaos a more senile Trump with no future election to concern himself with could cause in this country. I've stopped following the news with any regularity because it's already gotten exhausting.

    But hey, at least the president isn't a hypocrite, right?

    Aye man that gives me hope if your dad is at least opening his eyes

    Unfortunately I have family members who this s*** is making them draw into their mental bunker and get more hysterical cause it’s heightening their sense of fight or flight, and they’re choosing the former option
