No matter how much you point out how much conservatives suck, they just pretend to not understand what you tell them and continue on with their shitty lives, making things worse for everyone else. I hate the fact that I live in a world where an inanimate object has more rights than my girlfriend and daughter, that worker rights are being eroded for the sake of our "economy," and that we're once again being dragged into another forever war at behest of a wildly unpopular Republican president precisely to enrich his supporters who are all mysteriously heavily invested in oil futures. I think George Orwell saw the future and realized that the power that be hate anyone who tells the truth, and it's sad that we live in a world where it is easier and more profitable to lie.
I think the point is to make you feel like you're insane, because every day I wake up and go to work I am met with the reality that any moment my employer could get a bug up their ass and completely up end my life for no other reason than for the sake of their profits and shareholders. The fact that we put shareholders ahead of workers is just one more example of how fucked up our priorities truly are, because without workers there are no profits, yet all shareholders do is provide "capital." When you inherit your wealth it just means you behave as though you are entitled to profits, and when you all you're interested is profit, you become a sociopath only focused on reducing costs, like the amount of hours your workers are able to work, or cutting their compensation. Why give a worker a raise that would cost your company, millions, if not billions of dollars when you can spend tens of thousands of dollars to give them a shitty ham sandwich with a bag of chips under the guise of "Worker Appreciation."
Companies have half a billion dollars to buy back their own stock, but they don't have money to guarantee their workers 40 hours a week, and when you apply this kind of thinking to rest of society it makes sense why things are so shitty. I wrote about this mentality previously when I wrote about the "Fuck you, I got mine," mentality, it's couched in the ideals and aesthetics of Ayn Rand's decrepit and backwards "objectivism." The idea that "greed is good," has lead to the dystopic and horror world we live in. The lie we tell ourselves to maintain the status quo, when people hear that "socialism is on the rise," and then all the weirdos come out of the wood works and tell us "Socialism never works because reasons." Willingly and openly licking the boots of their Capitalist masters, showing them that they are in fact good boys and girls and that they do not have any independent thoughts in their heads because when profits are the only thing you're concerned with you cannot think of others or the whole fiction falls in on itself.
Humans are social creatures, the whole reason we exist today is because we rely on each other, as long as we continue to believe the lie of the individual we will continue to live in a world where it's normal for people to be mad at Ms. Racheal for speaking out about the genocide in Palestine and imply she is anti-Semitic because she has a little girl that had her literal leg and foot blown off from bombs dropped by Israel is a new level of brain rot that permeates our cultural zeitgeist. Society is also a human construct, meaning it can anything we want it to be, yet for some reason we keep propping up people who destroy our environment and make our lives worse and those people don't care that you hate them because they know they have the power and you do not.
As I speak Republicans are rushing to change voting laws because the only way they remain in power despite being unpopular is by making it harder to vote. When you hear people push the idea that "Voter ID laws can't be racist because everyone has an ID," or "Why is it so hard to show ID to vote when I have to show my ID when I buy Alcohol/Cigarettes, ect..." Ignores that voting is something that is established as a right we have in the constitution. The only time we have ever introduced barriers to voting were to limit and who could vote. These losers want to win by default because they know they suck and they don't care.
Just like Capitalist encircled the commons in the past, now they are trying to do so with the population. From banning abortion to now trying to charge a woman with murder if they leave to receive one or have a miscarriage because the society Capitalists want in America is one where none of us can leave for "better jobs," because we will all be working the same shitty jobs that do not offer enough money to survive. The "DoNt TrEaD oN mE," crowd sure love treading on everyone else, as long as it's anyone outside the group of people they care about.
Caring about other people does not make you weaker, it does not make you a "beta," or a "cuck," it shows that you're paying attention and you see the bull shit going on around you and you're not buying it. I have two kids, I want them to live in a better world. It starts with us, organize your neighbors, organize your co-workers, organize your community and tell these fuckers to eat a flaccid penis because the status quo ain't working any more.
