Imagine what Native Americans must think of such depictions.
Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!
For our next lesson, critical thinking and reasoning! Just kidding, we don’t do that here. It doesn’t help to make you better laborers.
And now onto history, open your textbooks to page 33:

Though I promise you that is one product, whether it’s a drug that costs pennies to manufacturer, or clone replacement body/organ vats, that they won’t allow to fall into the reach of the bottom 99% of us mortals.
Is there anyone who doesn’t see people like Zuck, Musk, and Bezos as hardcore wannabe gods?
I freely admit I’m a broken record on the topics I’m passionate about. Man-made climate change being one of them.
My post history on all my accounts is testament to this.
That’s another account I have yes, but not the one I was referring to.
My memory is fine, this isn’t the same account.
I was banned from the LW comics sub because there was a comic about climate change being real, and I said something along the lines of having far more sympathy for non-human life suffering the hostile climate we’re creating because we’re doing it eyes wide open out of reckless greed , which according to that mod is “ecofascist rhetoric,” which I thought was funny because I wasn’t advocating doing… anything. Saying our species is more culpable for climate change than the other animals also suffering it was wrongthink that day.
That’s the paradox of power in any form, the vast majority who pursue it, from politicians, to police, to mods, usually sought that power with a biased agenda, maybe not even consciously, but still. Power corrupts, bans for wrongthink aren’t avoidable with people in charge and no additional layers of active monitoring/auditing which isn’t really tenable on a volunteer basis.

That said, reasonable is in the eye of the beholder, and I see capitalism’s apologists at this late hour (I’m suffering a reckless capitalist growth/metastasis caused heat dome as we speak along with 10s of millions of other Americans) as just as unreasonable as you see socialism proponents.
Modding abuse destroys communities, and that’s wrong. But I don’t demand all the communities I frequent spend their days agreeing with me, nor do I walk away unless the entire ethos/subject of the sub is to be against what I’m for. By that I mean, I can generally enjoy talking about a movie, for example, with a capitalism proponent because it isn’t generally centrally relevant to the topic.
The point of discourse is discourse. An AI chatbot will be better at feeding one’s confirmation bias than any community made up of people ever can be.
As a child, I came to consider 40 to be basically dead and pointless, a withered husk clinging to life and a sense of relevance like the flagpole of a sinking ship.
As someone about to hit that mark, I still haven’t seen any new information that changes my opinion on that.
Our cognitive ability peaks around our late 20s. We humans love to delude ourselves about our mortality with comforting thoughts like “well my experience makes up for it, herp derp,” but that’s just something to help us sleep at night as we degrade at an ever accelerating rate.
Always a keen reminder that our transient little lives are NOT to be taken too seriously.
Pharoahs that claimed Godhood and had themselves sealed in an impossible monument “for all eternity” with a dozen living servants were dug up, put on display and are likely boring some school groups to death as we speak. In only 100 years, as long as there are still humans, we will be mocked, ridiculed, and belittled by the living for guilt free entertainment for our values and priorities, and rightly so.
Literally none of the little plans we humans make matters, and that means you get to choose what matters to you. Maximize your happiness.
If God doesn’t want us fucking with their creations, they’re more than welcome to hold a press conference.
Until then, I’ll keep assuming they’re emotionally crippled howard Hughes style in the Heaven Penthouse drinking their own divine urine and shouting random conspiracies about which Angel is gonna pull a Lucifer next.
Does this forest get smaller over the course of the night like a hunger games arena?
Would you rather be alone in the forest with
A) a bear who has been starved and given your scent.
B) Al Gore giving an 8 hour PowerPoint presentation on light switch waste awareness.
Plot twist - you get this regardless of which one you choose:
Walter, what the fuck are you talking about?
