  • Most people’s behaviours make them indistinguishable from cattle. Not to diminish them, just that, for the most part, you’re bound to think, live and express yourself locally. That makes you extremely easy to manipulate, especially when nowadays there are unthinkable amounts of data being collected on you at every given time. This, in turn, makes psycho history more a concept of the current reality than a fictional scientific discovery. I.e. the role of Cambridge analytica and Steve Bannon during the Brexit campaign. If these idiots can influence a country like the UK, against their best interest, what makes you think that the exact same strategy is not being employed on us at any moment in time, to maximise capital extraction? The proof is in the pudding. The last decade saw the largest transfer of wealth from the general populace to the 1%. We’re basically suffering the consequences of 3 generations of functional regards.



  • Oh ffs, grow up. Nobody is downplaying the effects of mental health, just asking people to be reasonable. That’s, however, anno 2025, too much to ask. Everyone exists in hyperbole and asinine takes.

    PTSD is eminently treatable and manageable. It doesn’t naturally degenerate, it sucks but you can live till you’re old. Black lung, COPD are chronic, degenerative diseases that will eventually make you gasp for air till you die while your loved ones look on without being able to do anything.

    This is beyond stupid, I don’t know when we, as a civilisation, reached a point where people can’t understand shades of grey anymore and live in absolutes only.
