13472374, A lot of people I love seem to be going THROUGH it

But then also surprised that they’re going through it.
Like … nothing has changed about this machine in hundreds of years. Everything is set up to extract to maximum from you until you push back and then it will extract a pound of flesh or more to teach you a lesson or make an example of you.
And now in 2022 it’s even worse
Adulthood in 2022 is having the world of problems moving at you at the speed of technology and people still treating you
1. Like you pick cotton to survive and
2. Like the skillset require to navigate this is the same as picking cotton.
You gotta be your own IT for you home phone, internet, cable, computer, remember dozens of logins just to pay bills, be your own customer service, your own financial person, filter your own news, be your own personal chef, nutrionist, therapist, friend, professional advisor … and that feels like only half. Im ranting at this point.
I don’t see how anyone would be dealing with this shit in any kind of healthy way.

I just keep peace knowing that the ancestors dealt with far worst.

13472377, They dealt with a reality I cant even imagine
Posted by MEAT, Wed Nov-02-22 09:07 AM
My biggest trouble right now is the paradox of being aware. The more you’re aware of this shit the less you’re able to respect it. The old adage of ignorance is bliss doesn’t apply because so much bad shit is just playing in our faces. And now we’re forced to accept shit that on every level we know is wrong, seems immutable, but really isn’t.
The villains in this time want you to feel hopeless. They want the problems to seem so vast that we pay for their solutions. Meanwhile they’re the ones causing the problems.

13472398, Like we just forgot 2020? Hustleman culture couldn’t go a week
Posted by MEAT, Wed Nov-02-22 11:24 AM
Without being bailed out. All of these global mechanisms of leveraged debt and exploitation had their pants dropped on them. I aint forget that.
Same culture that raises the prices and offloads the labor to the customer. Fuck that noise.
Game is game. But you not gonna sit here telling me I’m not keeping up.
