They literally can’t see the truth. They’ve made themselves objects in service to systems, defined their entire self and conscience in terms of these systems and making the place they’ve carved out in them “okay”. If you show them the truth in brutal undeniable ways, like the capital police, they, best case, just kill themselves. They don’t know how to turn, how to do the right thing.

Maybe there’s a way to teach them? I don’t fucking know. The timings would be a bitch, getting them some serious theory as a matter of life and death in between when they get the horrible awakenings and when they Switch to an all lead diet.

Mainland china is a shit hole, basically every state is, and I’m not even sure I believe in people anymore.

I don’t even know how I feel about this. A certain amount of socialism would fix so much, but we can’t have that.

I think most people who do this shit find a system to be a part of, and then build themselves and their conscience around being the good guy for that choice. I don’t know how to save them when it breaks, and I don’t know how not to hate them until it does.

There’s no rhyme or reason or logic. I find it all super fucking grim.

Yeah. The USSR was shit to live in, but it wasnt literally destroying the world.

Totally, but I’m saying “this meal is better than a literal shit sandwich soaked in meth withdrawal sweat” is an equivalent culinary claim.

I think doing better is a less ambitious goal than going soviet in the empire. There are fewer barriers. Not that I’m optimistic.
