    Yep. Have fun while you can. I mean I’m going to still do what I can do, vote for the right people but… At this point… It’s like we are a person still diligently showing up to all his chemotherapy appointments despite the fact he’s resigned to it not working in the end.

      Yep. The people in power are the people in power precisely because they only think about what’s in it for them. That is what humanity rewards and elevates: selfishness. Oh I’m sorry, they rebranded selfishness into a positive trait: “rational self-interest.” what a lovely Orwellian flourish.

      Humans that consider how their actions may negatively effect others are not. Only practicing sociopaths are permitted to steer this ship, and wouldn’t you know it, they’re steering us right into oblivion for short term ego score returns.
