I am chuggin gin tonight (not an extended pattern of behavior to be clear) and honestly wtf. Everything is so cruel to the extent that it is almost rediculous.
So, I am a history student and tbh, the absurdity of modern class struggle is becoming fucking unreal to me. I genuinely cannot grasp how the bourgeois sleep at night. Like wtf. The human capacity for indifference is unfathomable. I am watching a video by coffeezilla where he covers the failure of a “bank”, which is technically not a bank, that caused a bunch of people to lose 10s of millions of dollars collectively. Maybe being raised by labor aristocrats sheltered me from the inhumanity of capitalism and thats why this fucks me up so bad but one guy losts thousands of hours of his life to this shit. They’re just fucking gone. How is this normal, how do most people accept this as their reality. I am honestly impressed by the docility of the working class in the imperial core. I think if I dropped a sumerian peasant into the modern United States they would immediately identify our society as fucked up beyond belief the moment they understood it.
idk where I expected to go with this post. shits just fucked up tbh and I cannot grasp why I see it and others don’t. I have little material reason to do so, yet I do and so many others who have a material reason to realize this do not. I think I will smoke tonight and watch an ancient history documentary.
edit: tangentially related but finding you guys made me hopeful for the world, thank you for being sane
Yeah, a lot of times I think about stuff like this. It gets really overhwhelming, so don’t dwell on it too long and make sure to take care of yourself
Idk what else to say really other than yeah, humanity was not meant to be set up this way, but as the result of 100s of years of chasing money, here we are, where i will never be able to afford my own home or do tons of other things that even a generation ago were considered “normal” for people my age.
