There's also the problem that Bernie's platform is not congruent with what the Democratic machine actually wants, politically

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


Society has failed us yet again, and will continue to do so forever and ever. There is no hope for America. America will be forever locked into a blood-soaked cycle of the rich devouring the poor, and then changing the system so that they can do it again. This cannot be changed. The corporations that rule the United States are more powerful than any god, and impervious to all. The mindless greed of the stock market and the parasites who participate in it has immortalized the powers that be. The rich cannot be punished. The system cannot be changed. The government cannot help. America died long ago, we live upon its corpse like maggots.

that elysium movie is bad but it is also prophetic

in the future the wealthy will live in a few beautiful, heavily gaurded spots on earth while the rest of us starve outside the gates

Automation of middle class jobs, which is already happening, is another step on the path to destruction. Automation of the police and military will mean the 1% finally has a way to beat the only advantage we have over them -- our numbers. Some police are arguably still human and could be persuaded to fight their masters if things get bad enough, but that won't matter when we replace that cop with a drone.

I would recommend suicide now to avoid getting raped and eaten in the job apocalypse.

fair, but have you considered the benefits of homicide as an alternative?

In an ideal society dominance relationships have been phased out in favor of a communal/reciprocal understanding of one another. This is the struggle of social anarchy IMO. You can't quantify ethics/politics.

I hope the middle class keeps decreasing so i can laugh at them and feel better about myself being richer and better than so many other people

Congrats on your incubator! I hope you abort any female children so they don't grow up with such a useless model to follow.

Not as the alternative, no. As the answer, yes.

The benefits are many!
1- Less people messing up the world you live in.
2- Fewer people standing in the way of your dreams.
3- Less noise.
4- Worthwhile people are easier to notice
5- Less dependence on society as lower numbers strengthen the individual
6- Less pollution
7- Less suburbs
8- Fewer cars on the road
9- the deaths of enough people will force a change in the status quo, as the elite's power to hide and distract is reduced
10- I might die in the process

And there are many more benefits! Just think of how much better this world would be with the deaths of millions!



P.S.- Please don't take this seriously. I do not advocate killing people.

I'm pretty sure that the middle class and the bill of rights are the two things that stop capitalism from being feudalism and america's making a stunning effort to get rid of them both at unprecedented rates

not that I give a gently caress, capitalists are human garbage. the sooner this all goes up in flames the sooner we can start building an ethical state from scratch.

Except that it won't burn down because capitalism thrives in instability and crisis. That just offers more variability so it evolves faster and more dynamically

What will happen if left to burn is it will move correct its contradiction between democratic institutions and the markets relative health under stricter, less democratic systems like Singapore.

We will just get some more totalitarian Children of Men style state to work better either the demands of 21t century capitalism

I know you're trolling but some people think this

Medicare expansion, tuition subsidies, raising taxes on things that only benefit like 1% of people.

Impossible fever dream

Actively turn the government against one religion?

Experts debate both sides on every media outlet

this but unironically, the people that the last bit would affect are the same ones who control the media and are responsible for raising those taxes in the first place. as for the rest, note how the narrative has shifted to the point where any social programs are referred to as entitlements, even by a fair amount of supposed liberals.

I think the problem might be that it doesn't go high enough. At the top end of middle class you'd still be poor as gently caress.
