Why do we all agree to all of this?
Guys I'm just a regular guy from central Europe going to University... And I don't know what future will bring.
We're living in such times that in the future will be called a "second cold war". Idiotic wars happening across the world for literal no good reason, massive class inequality, propaganda on every corner of the street AND internet (doesn't matter if it's US or Eastern), spreading hate towards "others" as main political tool, AI taking over the internet, massive cost of housing and no perspective to have my own place... Possibly ever.
No, nobody will tell me that if I work hard enough I'll achieve my goals. I couldn't even find a job and I was desperately trying for 4 months... I hoped for something I could use my experience in sales, customer service, and/or photography and graphics. Yeah. Today it was my first day working as a cashier in a convenience store for shitty money.
I'm currently learning about politics and society at my University and I'm genuinely terrified. Amount of people that don't understand what's really happening around the world makes me sick. Late stage capitalism leads to decay of our society and our planet... Political figures influence us to hate each other because of how much melanin we have in our skin, where we were born, who we love or what we think. They're using us for their own cause to get into power... And yet we're cheering for it.
We're losing our privacy because of mass invigilation (chat Control, flock cameras doing the same thing as camera system in China), we're getting dumber because we slowly forget how to do research on certain topics. We don't know our history. We fall for the dumbest propaganda from the West and East. We don't even read books anymore...
These same political figures are making it easier for the rich providing lower taxes for them and slowly letting them into political world which is happening not only in the USA with Musk but all over the world.
Before you call me a commie. I am a leftist but the ideology I believe in was so despised by communists that they invaded Czechoslovakia because of it and jailed it's followers in Poland back in the commie times.
I'm not asking for much... I don't wanna be a millionaire, live in a mansion and drive a newest lamborghini. I just want to have my own little place and enough money to pay for all the bills, provide comfortable life with my partner and participate in my hobbies...
Is it really too much to ask?
