I'm the only one who got what they wanted this election.
Yeah, but I have learned to stop worrying and love the imminent apocalypse.
Mostly because it has occurred to me that the only thing on Earth that has a negative value is human life. By which I mean the Earth has a carrying capacity (currently) of 2 billion people, and we just sailed past 7.5 billion people. A surplus of 5.5 billion people, which is 2 billion more total people that existed in total when I plopped out into this mess and became part of the problem.
This is utterly unsupportable, and it's all going to come crashing down very shortly (ie, when the population reaches about 10.5 billion people, which is the point where we simply cannot move food fast enough to feed anyone, and then the panic and chaos will finish the job), so none of this shit matters in the slightest. No matter what your beliefs are, or what convictions you have, you have about a 1/80 chance of being alive in 20 years (optimistically speaking, and your odds are WAY worse if you're over 35), and even if you are, politics will be the last fucking thing on your mind. I personally take comfort in the knowledge that I will certainly be dust in the wind by then, and will not have to suffer through the yelling and bullshit that will come along with the Big Whoops.
In the meantime, though, we can listen to people who claim that their ideology will ensure that the correct people die, knowing full well that they're full of shit, or we can instead choose to listen to street corner preachers about how awful it all is and what terrible people we all are, knowing that they are also full of shit.
None of it matters.
We should have listened to Lemmy.
