i ain’t forget

Oh wow you got me, you still not gon do s*** about it p****.

You sound mad bro

Hella mad, fuming actually that my ass spitting fire 🔥 🤬🥵

Empathy and human decency are 21st century contrived falsities. Humans are trash, have been trash and always will be trash. It’s our cognitive DNA to act in such a manner.

He’s a p**** lmao

we are in the best of times actually

This is the greatest time to be alive, statistically speaking. We’re just becoming desensitized.

You click on a video that’s advertised as “funny” on Instagram, you end up seeing somebody get killed.

People don’t know what they’re looking at anymore.

Agreed but we also heading into self destruction

Climate change is gonna f*** us up was so hard

Also tensions have became massively high and will stay high for a long time trump has done a lot damage to American democracy

Here is hoping for uneventful 4 years

Also the fact that people don't care enough regardless, it's power in general too.

World always has and always will be f***ed

I think part of it really is this overexposure to the sheer complexity and scale of modern industrial civilization, mediated by things like the internet

in the past, the world was probably more barbaric but you were enclosed within your sphere of influence (usually your local community), where you could actually act on the terrible things you were exposed to

now, we're reminded everyday of the problems that are often beyond the reach of the average person, both because of geographic barriers and because of the sheer magnitude. the best antidote seems to be a "return" to the dynamics of the past, meaning organizing and taking action within your local community

edit: and to add, even in the previous century there were examples of large problems being subject to social backlash and widespread knowledge (i.e. the reaction to "the jungle" by upton sinclair), but the rate of exposure was much slower and easier to adapt/respond to

This isn’t a new thing especially if you’ve been on the internet for a long while

Act like that's not at the root of the Western illness and dissatisfaction

Another cause of western dissatisfaction is people abandoning values and morals completely

this is true too though, the price of reconciling capital accumulation and its consequences for the average beneficiary/supporter of this system is having to abandon your empathy

I don’t watch death videos or things of that nature. I’m not desensitized at all
Don’t know if it’s good or bad sometimes

Please talk to these mfs man.

humans arent good at understanding big picture things

I wasn't even being sarcastic dawg you already know. Speak on it
