Damn, I think I at this point i actually prefer the old religious "humans are special and different from other animals cuz god have us the consciousness" shit to this new techno-religion "biological sucks, destroy consciousness and bring on the machines" shit. At least there were some Christians and shit throughout history that really cared about animals (and some other religions have been better). This shit is just anti-life completely

Bit idea: taking the comedy=philosophy thing seriously, and start going to mics and lecturing about Hegel until someone murders me
I think the US is led by people who are a lot more vindictive though
Well I'm a girl and a gay and I do like her
So, I think there's a lot going with all the anti-vax/other rejection of medicine stuff. But, I think at least part of it is that a lot of people have no real conception of how bad things were. How many people died or had serious problems due to diseases we've now eradicated or mostly taken care of. And that reminds me of the collapse of the Eastern bloc. People didn't understand how bad capitalism was.
How do you educate people on this? It doesn't seem like just reading is enough for people to really comprehend past suffering in a way that makes them want to keep up the institutions needed to prevent a return.
Lol
But also, I can't fathom the mindset of anyone who believes a proletarian state can wither away while capitalism exists, regardless of the state of the productive forces. Like, imagine if the Soviet state started withering away immediately. How would socialism survive, lol? You'd have to be a pure theory, no looking at practical matters kinda person
Strongbad's text game was pretty fun
