If our society seems more nihilistic than that of previous eras, perhaps this is simply a sign of our maturity as a sentient species. As our collective consciousness expands beyond a crucial point, we are at last ready to accept life's fundamental truth: that life's only purpose is life itself.

True, but capitalism in some from, corporations, and the power dynamics they influence or out right control are here to stay at least near/mid term. Even if a time traveler told me they'd be gone in the next 20 years we'd still need something to transition from here to there.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



Now it's day and night the irons clang, and like
poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die, must fill dishonored graves
But some dark night, when everything is silent in the town
I'll shoot those tyrants one and all, I'll gun the flogger down
I'll give the land a little shock, remember what I say,
And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay.

I'm something of a fucking idiot myself
The sad thing is Millennials are actually much better at saving for retirement than older generations. I would unironically support gutting SS as long as everyone got hosed equally. Like, olds get cut off immediately, thrown into the streets to die.

Yes, Lady Dierdre is OP, but after the disaster of the Trump years, we're going to need to catch up a bit. Vote Green 2020.

Dierdre doesn't have to threaten the drones with nerve stapling to make them go into the tanks at age 65, they go willingly, out of a strong and compelling societal commitment to eco-socialism.

I think the better idea is to give them SS (qualified by wealth and income) in addition to UBI so they're comfortable. Anyone over 65 doesn't get to vote, however, because they have little stake in the future.

You're right means testing is bogus, instead all assets are nationalized after your 65th birthday. You receive an enhanced basic income that would cover the average monthly cost of an all inclusive retirement community + 15%. All UBIs are also pegged to inflation and production and the amount given is adjusted quarterly or monthly. Seniors still don't get to vote though they can just attempt to advocate for their old stale ideas.
