    My hatred of the owner class is matched only by my disappointment in my fellow humans for not only taking it, but often defending it.

    The people we struggle for have abandoned their humanity. That’s what it takes to be one of society’s supposed winners or be in their good graces: practiced sociopathy.

    And half of the peasants fantasize about being the sociopaths instead of ending their reign and this despicable con game of an economy.

      Summed up concisely. I’ve unfortunately given up hope that anything can be done or can improve. It feels the fight, whatever fight there ever was, has been lost.

        Fuck that. I will not go gently into that good night. I will rage against the dying of the light.

          Same boat club.

          Honestly I’ve reached the point that I hope climate change, that’s presently accelerating, fucks our species shit up to the core and forces our species to start again, because existing like this, subsisting for a tiny group of proud monsters that see us as livestock in perpetuity, sounds like most people will be born into damnation going forward, and as much pain as civilization level collapse would be, it pales in comparison to this system persisting and finding new cruelties to profit from for generations.

          Human civilization in its current form seems to exist to find new efficiencies with which to torture most of humanity. Maybe we’d be better off knocked back to depending on one another in smaller groups. Maybe we’d find empathy again. Maybe our planet could start to recover from our damage

          Yeah, you’re not alone. I’ve basically become an anti-natalist. I don’t think the ruling / owning class will budge unless their lives are affected. And that won’t happen until there’s no more slaves to support their insane lifestyles.
