how god awful the future will be while knowing I’ll never retire and will be stuck forever renting someones basement/garage
Could you imagine wasting the rest of your life to make the world a better place? Since you are alreay alive, what do you need to create a future worth living with others who think alike?
what do you need to create a future worth living with others who think alike?
Money, influence, a brain worth a shit. I’m just a worthless factory schmuck, incapable of much more than I currently do.
Change doesn’t come from one person having an idea but from the population picking up an idea. Whatever you support has a bigger chance of improving the world.

I don’t have enough words for fuck right all the way off.
I’ve spent my life trying to make things a better place. I’ve been trying to pick people up, to learn, to fight hate, to get one step ahead, to educate, to do everything short of pulling out a whip just to get people to do the bare minimum to enact change in their life and vote. Yet I’ve been shown in more evidence that people are far more interested in their football teams (both literal and political) than making things better for people, have no desire to actually learn, and that hatred prevails. I’m tired and everyone is yelling at us to fight when I’ve been trying to rally to fight for the past goddamn decade… and even then I see the people calling to fight and it’s a bunch of people who are yelling to go out and do it without actually getting up to do the bare minimum to help another fucking human. And you want to come at me with that phrasing?
So lets be blunt. I’m tired of this fight. You want to save the world, best of luck to you. I’ll be in my corner and do the little things I can to survive and help those that need help do the same until the reason for survival is gone then I can wander off. Y’all (and by that I mean the rest of the world) can save yourselves, or burn, without my help just fine. It was funny years ago when I started saying “Call me Cassandra” when the things I was told I was overreacting came to pass. It’s stopped being funny for a long time now.
Would you allow others to join you in your corner in the world and create a team Cassandra?
It should be easier to form a new team than to change existing teams. Once the new team lives a happy life, the other teams will want to copy it. Without that proof, people prefer to stick to the known misery they can control instead of trying something new.
I mean there’s a lot of us already on that team.
If you didn’t get the reference, Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy but cursed so that her true prophecies would not be believed. She goes out and tells people of what’s coming and she’s ignored. She warns that if Helen is brought back to Troy, it’ll be the fall of Troy in the Trojan War. She warned the Trojans to not accept the gift horse from the Greeks but we all know how that worked out. That sort of thing.
So yes, there’s a lot of people on “Team Cassandra” who’s been saying the shit that’s coming is going to come, we’ve been laughed at, mocked and told we’re overreacting then told we’re not doing enough when exactly the things that anyone with basic pattern recognition and a high school history learning could predict.
Since most people don’t listen, and there are still a lot who know, why not join forces? Unlike Cassandra, there is no need to just wait for fate to happen.
Dont you think its pure hubris to suggest others effect this change in the world? Do not blame those who are just trying to tread water along lifes river, your not them, and you dont know their story.
The choice to reproduce is a confidence check on an individuals feelings about the future, and right now, the world is rolling 1s & 2s.
Who but common people can effect this change? The elite won’t change anything.
Instead of shooting oneself, why not take a shot at making the world a better place?
There are already three people in this thread who are waiting to die because they don’t like this world. That could be the foundation of a group that turns the world into a better place. They don’t have a use for their mind and body so they are free to dedicate them to a good cause.
Its a clear violation of the weekend saftey brief.
