in herzog's 2016 documentary 'lo and behold', there's a part where he interviews a younger elon musk. it's incredibly ironic watching it now, 10 years later, considering how much has changed. back then, elon used to be a lot more 'normal.' sure, he still spoke with a bit of a stutter (maybe the autism causes this), but he could actually express himself. he was less erratic, he dressed normally, and for all intents and purposes, he just seemed like a slightly eccentric engineer.

cut to 2026: the guy is a total disaster. he's completely hooked on drugs, can't speak in public without getting high beforehand, acts like a fucking toddler, can't even put a proper suit on, and constantly embarrasses himself on a global stage.

but it’s not just him. if you look closer, this same exact pattern happened with trump. watch his old interviews from the 80s and you’ll see a genuinely well-spoken, sharp man. time skip to the 2020s and he’s also a junkie who speaks like an infant, partly due to old age and dementia, but the decline is undeniable. then look at the rest of the ruling class: CEOs, politicians, tech billionaires. there's this sharp, undeniable decay in their 'performance' over time. look at alex karp or mark zuckerberg. most of them are visibly fried, totally high, and completely detached from reality.

so why are all these powerful guys going off the deep end at the exact same time? what happened to their optimistic neoliberal ideology and all the talk about colonising mars or whatever bullshit?

think about it, these guys have access to the most terrifying data about the world, they probably know that we are absolutely, irrepairably fucked, in part due to climate change, and some other factors too, and they can't ignore it anymore, because it's actually biting us in our arse now, we are reaping some of the consequences right now!
it's kind of like the roman elites becoming more hedonistic and flamboyant as the empire fell, we are witnessing massive psychological collapse of the ruling class, we are fucked, they know that we are fucked, theres nothing they can do, they know that theres nothing we can do, and its driving them insane, and they might just be making things worse because why even bother?

this could be the most brutal blackpill about the world, the end is a lot nearer than you think when even porky is scared

I have been tracking societal factors which indicate exploitation and the list is in for the worst countries in the world.

These are countries which have a large amount of exploitative capitalists which exploit their workers abroad and loosely call themselves the international community.

There is many Asian countries which are climbing the index, then there is many tax havens which occupy this list. Surprisingly not all tax havens are on the list.

It was historically progressive for the USA to have the Yankees defeat the dixies.

BUT it would have been historically progressive for the rest of the world if the dixies defeated the yankees.

only ultroids and libtards will fail to understand

First of all, if we were to have rights and a republic, we cannot have government that contradicts that. People say fascism is militarism. I disagree. Every major war over the last 80 years has been because of banks profiting off of war. WW1 taught bankers that war is good for business. During WW2, the isolationist movement that opposed US involvement stated that the founding fathers were against old world conflicts (which they were). Capitalism will always inevitably devolve into authoritarianism. "ANCAP" / non-libertarian socialists have libertarianism all wrong. What we're living in today is end-stage capitalism. The anti-federalists opposed the founding fathers because they feared they would become too powerful. However, I believe that the means of production should be owned by the people and not the government or private corporations.

Why are you not a libertarian socialist?

criticisms? thoughts?

Why do people act as if “anti-Zionist Jews” are somehow better than overtly Zionist Jews, when nearly all “anti-Zionist” Jews are merely liberal Zios who adhere to the exact same narratives as overt Zios?

Believing Jews have any “connection” to Palestine is Zionist. Believing Jews are entitled to live in Palestine is Zionist. The “one-state solution” is just as settler-colonial as the “two-state solution” since it allows for illegal Zio settlers to remain in the lands they stole through colonialism and genocide.

Stop supporting these genocidal and colonial normalizers. Palestine is NOT South Africa but Algeria, and any true Palestine solidarity must call for the mass expulsion of every Jewish settler in Palestine. There is nothing they have that they didn’t acquire by theft and genocide. All of them must be removed for Palestine to be truly liberated.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
