  • all the media on this has been interesting, and I don’t know how much to apportion to general slowfootedness, and being out of touch - and how much to blame the billionaires pushing narratives.

    Popular support doesn’t make murder right or just. But it is irrational for society to remain placid whilst being robbed of resources by a few bad actors.

    In other periods of human history, they would have been swiftly ostracised- if they were lucky.



  • The question is better but thus : what lead you to doomerism ?

    The answer will almost certainly not be your lived experience or the lived experience of your loved ones. Instead the answer will probably be media consumption.

    It is now well documented that news has both a negative bias, and also that excessive consumption is detrimental to health : https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7187375/

    So, :

    1. read less news.
    2. focus on your daily life in your community
    3. Learn meditate

    Secondly, and don’t take this the wrong way, but you mention the ‘the last moments of society’ which is a very privileged and arrogant view to take, when there are people who have lived through war, lived through famine, lived through brutal oppression and come out the other side .

    In fact, the dystopian picture you paint, is the lived reality for some people TODAY. So check your privilege.









  • I see what you are trying to say, but the history of human society and social living, any one person exhibiting anti-social behaviour, would be excluded from the tribe.

    Who was it that said “if a monkey tried to hoard all the bananas like billionaires hoard money, the rest of the pack would simply tear him, limb from limb. ?

    ….She said on Lemmy, a platform provided for free and free of ads by volunteers.

    Every day I’m more persuaded that in the main, Lemmy got the dregs of Reddit during the exodus, who are the nastiest most argumentative, most poorly informed shitheads the internet has to offer.
