I'm an optimist, so I'll believe one day we'll have a utopian society like in Star Trek. I ask politely you don't criticize me too harshly
Hey, that's a reasonable thing to hope. The flip side, of course, is that I'm hoping I don't have to live through Star Trek's idea of how the 21st century goes. They definitely got all of the details wrong, but I'm afraid the vibes are matching a little too well.
Hey, we've still got 2 months to the Bell Riots, and DeSantis was talking about putting all the homeless people in Florida on an island
While I agree, I'm skeptical that we'll see any meaningful advance toward that end in our lifetimes.
It will get a lot worse before it gets any better
The hand has been played and trend has been set, I don't see anything coming close to a reversal, short of gereatric nepo babies dying off but their replacements don't look any better..
Sucks to suck
Very bleak of you
Well the facts don't look good, what is a peasant supposed to do?
Shoot yourself?
I gotta keep it real with you chief, I think about it quite a bit.
I lack the constitution for that also that's what regime would want you to do anyway...
why give them the pleasure when you can impose costs on them for their misconduct.
Hope your descendants have it better
Hoping for something like that without taking direction action today is naive.
Direct action won't fix shit unless critical mass does it, so also got to spread the word about the fuckening we are enduring, most people are really not aware of the conditions on the ground beyond their personal experiences.
And what direct action would you propose?
Vote with your money, esp with mega corps
Don't suck some political or business daddies' dick for free, these people are your enemies, treat them as such
Ask for raises every year, switch jobs as needed to keep market rate pay
Consume less
Don't engage in political circle jerks
Don't dunk on the poors
Freedom is privacy and security, physical and digital
Educate people around you about these things.
is ironic because that's exactly how mega corps vote
Peasants (as you said) wouldn't be able to get their break without
that's a needed. 100% agree
what about people who are already consuming the bare minimum? What are they supposed to do?
100% agree
100% agree
wrong. That's a privilege. Privileges can be taken away. Freedom is the ability to retard and expect repercussions or advance humanity in a civilized manner. What you are referring to is anarchy, and anarchy doesn't have to be bad. It puts the power in the individual with no government influence. However anarchy relies strictly on human nature and dependency
100%

How are they getting a break now?
As for 7, we are talking direct action? i am not following this response.

there is always room to improve consumption patterns... low hanging fruit is high processed foods. this can be driven two zero without any serious consequences. that's more of my point here.
You can't stop eating tho, no doubt, but you can chose what you eat.
Yeah, but we're talking about the possibility of a utopian society. It's completely theoretical at this point. You are talking about the logical here and now. What do you want for people in the future?
I think it's as relistic a future as the complete destruction of mankind, but your point of view makes life a lot more enjoyable. Here's a nice quote to back it up:
"There is nothing like a dream to create the future" - Victor Hugo

Better quality of life

I am also an optimist. I believe one day we'll all be dead, and all that will remain are robots that fuel off blood, left to invade hell for the only thing that will sustain them.
With that quote I expected to open a lyric video to a metal song
