    Maaaaaaaan.

    I don’t know what we’re waiting for. Who the fuck are we waiting on? A YouTube video essay? Some podcast rant?

    It’s apparent that not even legal confirmation on how the world is owned by the few was enough.

    No single politician can change a system where everyone is financially inclined to fuck over everyone else.

    Why are faceless corporations running our cities and towns? Why are we okay with it?

    More importantly why aren’t we enraged that they stole our future from us?

    Is literally no one extremely depressed that their home town has 3 fucking Starbucks, 3 McDonald’s, 2 Jack in the boxes and is literally unwalkable??? I can’t with this reality. It’s nothing but strip malls.

    I don’t want to be a part of this disgusting shit.

      Learn to build, DIY everything, make everything, reject capitalism hole-cloth. Build things for your friends in exchange for goods and services. Exchange labor. Shop at farm stands, and spend on only essentials and the tools for creation. Play an instrument. Go for walks.

      Learning to reject capitalism starts small.

      I think a lot of people are very much pissed about their situations, but also mislead and/or ignorant about what the problems actually are, how solutions can be enacted, and both who can lead and who to blame.

      There’s also burnout. I think most people are just trying to make sure they can get to work, see their family, raise their kids, etc. The system works to grind us down so we don’t put up a fight, and the system is working well.

        :( I’m burnt out. It’s over. Soon I won’t have time for these rants that are fueled by the absolute lack of real meaning.

        I feel like a crazy yelling into the void. I mean, I am but…

        I really wish I had managed to convince at least one person to actually do something locally, instead I alienated myself from my friends and family.

        Here’s hoping that soon there is a reactionary revolutionist that is born under the right circumstances to enact real change.
