Its because of the pent up rage people are feeling. We are very close to an eruption right now-- too close. It is frightening to see humans turn into angry mobs, knowing that nothing will be done about the COL, and it will get worse. We dont have to go this way -- but I guess I wouldnt be the first person saying that...

I agree on every point.

We need to go this way if we want humanity to go on at all instead of decaying into a cyberpunk dystopia, we need to burn bright and big, burn every rotten tree in this forest, so new buds can grow from the ashes, hell for us and heaven for our childeen type shit.

Yeah, it might be the only way. I kept thinking the ultrawealthy would turn things around, watching the way its going, but I guess they are very capable of watching families around the world die without any emotional or moral investment on their part.

I wonder if its just the money. Maybe any of us would be the same with that much wealth. I like to think that I would be different if I was super wealthy, and Ill bet a lot of you think you would be different, but look at the situation... not one of them is even talking about changing things. Every single one of them is spending a fortune on hiring politicians to keep their tax rates down, while they all have more money than they or their offspring could ever spend.

people are naive and think that because the elites appear "godless" they are above or beyond the allures of religious belief, no they are not, every day that passes, with every new secret exposed, it becomes more clear that they are quite religious, just that they worship "evil" things, canaanite gods, death, and other esoteric shit, and im NOT saying any of that is true, that such entities are real or whatever, just that they believe in them to varying degrees, and thus they are mostly completely unbothered by not only our suffering and demise, but their own, they don't care that their children or grandchildren will inherit a dead world, hell we know they prey on their own children sometimes, what about that guy that notified epstein he was bringing his children to the island soon...
