It's worthwhile to ask why so much of humanity is falling for this con right now. I suspect climate and a deep, even subconscious fear of there not being enough, of scrambling for survival against our neighbors. Whatever is it, looking at America or Britain or even Russia and chalking up all the problems to the low character of the people isn't going to get you ready for this era of turmoil. Look for solidarity, never give up on human rights, even for Americans.

@quinn@social.circl.lu The billionaire-bootlicking-class have hallucinated an alternative history. One without solidarity. Now they want us to go "back" there. > Our civilization would break down, leading to a return to dark ages, in which the elderly and infirm were often killed, because people could not support them, and often did not care about supporting them https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/blue-eyes-epstein-artificial-intelligence-eugenics-silicon-valley/

@quinn@social.circl.lu So many problems that are popularly blamed on individuals or even easily-identifiable groups are really systemic problems at the core. I've kinda gotten in the habit of always looking for the systemic issue, whenever I find myself blaming a group or individual: How did that group or individual gain enough power to be the problem's epicenter in the first place?
