“…the world thrives on its faults and strives, by every possible means, to aggravate them, while at the same time masking them like a congenital deformity. The signs are everywhere, though I could not always read them.”

The world has always been this way. And always will be. It doesn’t matter what kind of political or economic system humans organized themselves into.

I am not saying “When should do things the same way we did in the past because of tradition.”

I am not making an appeal to tradition, not at all. I am saying humans are just terrible. Sure we work together a lot. We work well together to genocide each other. We work well together to exploit the others. We love destroying each other.

I don’t need your pity. And I don’t accept it.

You say I think it’s futile? You are right. I am a defeatist. Humans have defeated themselves.

Look at how many are murdered and are exploited by capitalism. Apple computers uses a factory in China that worked its “employees” so hard many commuted suicide. Much of the chocolate in the world uses forced child labor. Companies that make cell phones and computers often use slave labor.

Now go read about The Great Leap Forward in China. Where somewhere between 15 million to 45 million peasants were killed during forced collectivization. (There is some evidence that it is in the higher range.)

And they weren’t just killed accidentally, or by negligence. They were very very often tortured, buried alive, they were often forced to beat their family members, they were forced to eat human feces, many committed suicide…. The list goes on and on and on about the atrocities that were done to people.

And now remember that we did almost ZERO as scientists told us over and over for decades that burning fossil fuels is a major cause of climate change. We are on the door step of climate horrors happing all the time and we are still mainly concerned with the question of, did Disney ruin Star Wars. Or which fan base of which show is the most unreasonable.

In the end, there is no system to keep people from behaving like people. And people are terrible, ignorant, violent, mostly concerned with their fantasy worlds that help them remain insulated from reality.

Neither. Trick question.

I’d choose the secret third option:

The cyanide pill.

This sounds like the time Germany asked the world if they wanted to take some Jewish refugees.

@F_Haxhausen@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. It was during the early Nazi period.

And almost zero countries accepted.

If he doesn’t believe in giving low income families a meager 40$ a month “welfare” then he should reject the saving Grace that is given from Jesus.

The point of the Gospels of Jesus is that the we are saved ONLY because of the Grace of God, and NOT because of our good works. PERIOD.

Nothing we do gets us the Grace of God. We can’t DO anything to deserve it. It is just given.

Edit: add “Like welfare!” To the end. I forgot.

Being alone is not bad.

And a crowd seems like the loneliest place.

This stuff just gets more terrifying by the day.

Are there democrats doing this sort of violent threats a lot? Do I miss those news stories because I am on Lemmy??
