It is but with inherent negative connotations.

One schemes to get away with shady shit but plans to do good things.

I'm so tired of being told I'm sad because I don't have drugs.

I've tried a dozen medications and they all make me feel worse. One made me allergic to fucking sunlight.

Our world is broken and dying as the rich hasten it along and we're gaslit to accept the blame for it.

The police are thugs servicing fascist tyrants and protecting them from us.

Wall Street, Walmart, schools, healthcare, fucking everything is about controlling and exploiting.

When I was a kid, super soakers were a hundred dollars. China has basically battery powered water rail guns at that same price point now while we still have the same hand pump plastic shit. The US gets farther and farther behind the world and yet somehow even more up is own ass despite being one is the dumbest and fastest countries on the fucking planet.

I've given up on hope. There's too much money to be made off suffering.

Ironically, forgiving the debt would generate immediate economic activity that the government would tax and collect that money back with far greater returns.

Every dollar in food stamps generated $1.70 in economic activity and that's just for "normal" poor people.

The problem isn't (just) the cost of education being insane but that wages aren't increasing to cover the bigger numbers.

The problem is that it's becoming harder to hide the entire country is a "company town" or African diamond mine where keeping you trapped in debt you'll never escape is the goal and it's perfectly legal because they own the laws.

I have been with my employer for a decade. My nominal wage has increased 50% but once you account for inflation I'm still basically at my starting wage even after a decade of promotions and certifications.

 

The older I get the more clear basically every facet of our society is to exploit us and fill us with propaganda.

The first thing that comes to mind when I wake up is how much I just hate being surround by this species that seems to want nothing more than to destroy itself.

Everything is a fucking joke and I'm fucking tired of everyone but I have a daughter.

I'm absolutely miserable and disgusted by basically everyone but I don't have the luxury of being able to quit. I just long for death.

"about a meg" because it's almost unthinkable anyone cares about 3 tenths of a meg much less 2 hundredths.

But see it's not consistent because the moment they're that soldier, elderly on fixed income, sick, etc, the system and everyone in it are supposed to drop everything and help them. "Get your government hands off my Medicare", as it was.

They're the same shit eating morons that voted for Trump's tariffs because Biden made things to expensive .

I mean morally consistent like being pro life but also pro death penalty and pro war but then again vote down any VA funding. Family values and rapingb kids, etc...

They have values they're just not logically or morally consistent with reality.
