And this is why we buy dumb TVs

Why would anyone think it's strange for anyone to feel fascinated by a garbage truck, or any number of mundane things we take for granted? Do you all know the centuries of progress it took to get us to the point where we can even have garbage men? Do any of you have any sense of gratitude at all?

We're all gonna die from climate collapse soon, aren't we?

Here's what everyone should be worried about given this talk:

Israel has nuclear weapons, and the U.S. has worked hard to ensure opposing countries like Iran would not be able to have them.

And now Israel's government is under the thumb of a bunch of genocidal maniacs who don't give a shit about anything.

I'm thinking we all ought to invest in civil defense, or have some kind of plan B.

Only this time, the countries falling to fascism generally have nukes, so now there's ultimately no way to stop them.

And people don't want to listen and reject them en masse.

So evil is winning.

It literally doesn't matter; you can't make proper use of the calculator without knowing how to do the problems without it anyway, so this is just stupid bullshit lazy people throw at you to justify not putting effort into anything

Blaming everything on capitalism is oversimplistic and reductive, to be honest.

Climate collapse is a result of industrialization and not capitalism, to start. Unless you want to explain how Stalin and Mao were still burning coal.

So the courts are illegitimate. Got it.

We need guns to fucking deal with them AND the tyrannical government they're imposing. 🤦

It's not education anymore if people are doing that.

They are turning education into the pointless rigamarole they accuse it of being because they don't get that education is more important than feeding oneself. Survival is easy. Animals do that. Education is about humanizing you and connecting you with the universe you live in. It's about something higher and better than that. It's about actually living.

But tell that to the troglodytes using ChatGPT to think for them, who truly only care about themselves.

It's gonna get worse and they're gonna do more in other countries too, especially as climate change kicks in, everyone starves and they need someone to blame.

That's functionally how life works if you wear contacts, so 🤷

So in that killer's mind, wanting someone killed was the morally indefensible crime but actually killing ludicrous numbers of people is not? And he nor anyone else questioned that? 🤔

It's almost like you can't force people to try to fix an irrevocably broken system because you're afraid of living without it

It's almost like we should have overthrown them or something

It's almost like everyone was propagandized into accepting band aid solutions and refused to listen when they were told it wouldn't work

Well, we warned you all, but you didn't listen. Expect tons of this garbage next year, and more importantly, expect it to work.

Many many people are unemployed and/or homeless, or trapped in debt, which skews the numbers.
