You're in a collapsing society controlled by psychopaths who now have the surveillance and destructive capabilities once ascribed to mythical gods and comic book super villians. No expose or reveal of information is going to stop it. Prioritize cooperativeky preparing for the inevitable worse ahead.

They are already persecuting upstanding members of society in trying to meet Miller Quotas. What the hell are they going to do with even more manpower? This is fucking insane.

From the book discussion w/ #OctaviaEButler at the end of #ParableOfTheTalents:
The problem, of course, with throwing people away is that they don't go away. They stay in the society that turned its back on them. And whether that society likes it or not, they find all sorts of things to do.

wonder if i've been a mistake since beginning, only waiting for the right time to rot and waste away, let the dirt feast on my dead cells as if i am nothing more than another body to dispose of.
it has been my dread that, even as trans man myself, i will remain a ghost in the eyes of society.

We call that the low hanging fruit of society. Instead of growing & being better - in ethics & character, they play the victim of the golden showers they choose to continue to drown in. No one wants them & we can all walk by & say, “sucks for you” with our eyes on the real people who need help.

The thing about the racial pogrom that the Right is trying to incite against Somali-Americans in Minnesota is that they're using a fraud scheme by some members of that community to argue that it hasn't assimilated to American society but actually it's crystal-clear proof that it successfully has.

I believe so, yeah, there is a lot of pressure to get a drivers license both from the government and from society. I was never even told there was another option when I turned 18!

But don't you dare call them callous. Or deplorable.
They only care if it affects them.
Then they go on to say that empathy is the major problem in society.
Vote them out.

And even as Gen X men got older, they shifted right on many things, but not so much on women’s roles in society. Their sons (influenced by Kirk, Fuentes, Tate, etc) are far to the right of their dads on this

The GOP, Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation and the current SCOTUS have perverted the true intentions and meanings of our constitution that we all learned in social studies class. We need to take our constitution back and tell them to go wordplay their lawyer speak somewhere else!

Fair point. I meant they lack skills which society finds valuable. As such, they’re un/underemployed and are more likely to jump at a job with extremely low barriers to entry but promises of high pay.

Sad part is that even if you had listened those lessons would not be applicable today. Tech bros, uber-rich, and such keep breaking things, changing how we _should_ function.
Structure of society has been radically altered.
This is why we can't have nice things, and why I have trust issues.

One of the first - maybe THE first - priorities of Woke 2 should be making vaccination necessary for participation in society. And by “participation” I mean “be allowed to enter any public space”.
The share of counties where 95% or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles has dropped from 50% before the pandemic to 28%, according to our analysis of public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia. At least 19,000 schools are now more vulnerable to outbreaks.
