The dark sides of a collapsing society, the denial in modern American idealism, & what’s the definition of hard work? - Gas prices, wages, inflation, guns...
My favorite bit of the zeitgeist we're living in right now is the people who claim that covid-19, monkeypox, etc are "fake diseases" invented to "control us."

People, you willingly go to work for 40+ hours a week to produce for the super rich, and you spend the rest of your time willingly consuming for them, all to make them have a better monetary high score and to get richer. You imply that people who don't engage in the same lifestyle of production and consumption that you do have something wrong with them.

Why would the ruling class need a fake disease to keep you under control when you're doing a perfectly fine job on your own?

"I can no longer work for a company that ignores all the alarms and dismisses the risks of climate change and ecological collapse. Because, contrary to Shell’s public expressions around Net Zero, they are not winding down on oil and gas, but planning to explore and extract much more. I want Shell Execs and Management to look in the mirror and ask themselves if they really believe their vision for more oil & gas extraction secures a safe future for humanity." - Caroline Dennett

"Our economic growth will save us!" is the most B.S. take I've seen so far. What's gonna happen when that very economy comprehensively collapses. Adults are just projecting their own terror and inability to cope onto the kids. As far as I can tell, kids want the whole truth. The ugly, nasty truth. They want to know what they are facing.
