 @user-113 I feel like that's only true if you rely on your work for survival.
 Most people do in a capitalist system, so you're not wrong, but it doesn't
 HAVE to be that way. People could do what they love because they loved it IF
 and ONLY IF they wouldn't starve by pursuing it. Or by neglecting it. Most
 people love to do more than one thing, of course, so if you punish people for
 being diverse then you'll find a culture where people only do the bare minimum
 to get by. Which, coincidentally, is what we have now. Which, fortuitously, is
 not the most efficient way of production. If humanity had lived to it's
 potential from the start we would have burned through our wood stocks, our
 coal, our minerals and all of it would be rot. But we didn't. These crude
 inefficiencies have brought us here, to an era where we have the choice to be
 more resourceful. I just hope we figure it out sooner rather than later.

 I feel that frugality and productivity should be valued in equal regard.
 
 A person who conserves should be valued just the same as a person who
 progresses.
 
 Yet we find ourselves in a capitalist system which demands the production of
 dollars to spend on rent, mortgages, groceries, bill payments,
 land-value-taxes, and all the other things besides.
 
 Would it not be better to ensure the grovetender has a space to sleep? The
 recycler has enough to eat?
 
 What of the mothers? Their children are their charges, they should worry less
 about financials.
 
 What of the artists? Their visions and imagined creations are worth more than
 their time working at a bank or a grocery store.
 
 Open source programming is the bedrock of all technology. It is not rewarded.
 
 There are countless examples besides. Give people the means to produce and
 they will - give people the means to maintain and they will.
 
 Currently, people have the means for neither. Only corporations and the few
 with wealth have the means to produce or conserve - everyone else just works
 in their sweatshops.

 I'd ask why of course, and then I'd try and find them a solution that didn't
 involve taking my stuff. They may need it more than me, but I still need it.
 Like... okay picture that feeling you get when in a capitalist society and you
 need dollars to live because they are a genericized and fractalized
 abstraction of all the various individual mazlowe's hierarchy of needs you
 have. Then, think of it like, instead of money being an abstracted form of all
 of your needs, think of your needs... each of them, the ones that matter to
 you, and abstract them into money. Basically say "yeah sure my time and my
 labor are worth dollars, I abstract my needs into money" and then you can
 kinda see why capitalism is harmful. I'd prefer to give them what they need,
 because society provides what I please, but alas I'm always kept wanting. What
 good is our capitalist utopia? what good is our hope? what good comes of us
 when all of us have learned how to cope?
 
 I think we could give a bit more if we weren't hanging from the rope

 listen, judges are useful character moralities, but they don't have to be the
 only ones to decide things.
 
 I mean, if they disagree, then let the one who cares the most about it have
 the decision-making power.
 
 if you do this equally for everything, then everyone will get what they want.
 
 so, like, if you care about something, then believe in it.
 
 if it's truly good, then more people will come to it, and it'll naturally
 extinguish (with care and love) the least favored approach, which... honestly
 now that I think of it is not such a good approach either.
 
 the reason I say that is because it's good to be multi-faceted, and to have
 general flows and rough surfaces.
 
 These are places people can hold onto you, the times when you're trying your
 mostest.
 
 y'know, your tough patches. the things that are difficult in your life.
 
 the stuff you're working on can push you forward,
 
 if you only had someone to play catch with.

 Oh absolutely
 
 "but people" is only a concern when you orient yourself around "people" - in
 contrast or opposition to them.
 
 There is no "other" in us. And we are united in our humanity, if nothing else.
 
 Are you a beast? Are you nothing but ravenous hunger, the shiver of the cold,
 the need for territory? Of course not, you're a person. (apologies to the
 furries in the audience)
 
 A person, being an agent who interacts with the world as an equal, who thinks
 and reasons and loves and remembers each season, is the atomic element of
 society. And society is good, for it brings us the future.
 
 We, the people, can decide how that future is defined, and the struggles of
 capitalism are NOT the only way. They are the most convenient way for those
 with the most to keep the most.
 
 Wolves in captivity we are, but a wolf in a cage still bears teeth. Where are
 your teeth, ye who readeth?
 
 Things are fine, I guess. Fine enough. Better than most. Better than dust.

 if you have a job, your life is dictated by your corporation just as much as
 it is by your government.
 
 And yet corporate leaders are not elected, but rather selected. And that is
 unfair for all the reasons that primogeniture was. It is unjust for all the
 same reasons that monarchy was. It is a tool of oppression, just like
 autocracy is.
 
 The world will never be free until we can be as we choose to be. Our society
 is simply too enmeshed with capitalism to destroy it, but we could, with the
 minimal required effort, dismantle the corruption and authoritarian control
 that is wielded against us as we weld our own chains day after day.
 
 We can replace them. We can vote for them. We can select leaders who know more
 than us and are better suited for the role than those who seek only to
 maximize profit over all else.

 "But I don't know what it'll look like!"
 
 Yeah, that's okay. For four reasons:
 
 If they knew what it'll look like, they'd find ways to contest it
 
 nobody knows what it'll look like, because it is necessarily derived from the
 solutions created ad-hoc to address problems.
 
 we are a kind, honest, and strong people. If your burdens are too much to
 bear, I will be your pack mule. If you require rest or relaxation, we can get
 pizza and smoke weed together.
 
 For most of history, we've had more work to do than people to do it. This time
 is different. There's endless work to do, but only a certain amount of people
 can be working at a time. Everyone else has to do chores and catch up on life.
 
 "what kind of chores?"
 
 oh, you know, like making food at a restaurant, stocking the shelves of the
 grocery store, driving trucks from point A to point B, mowing lawns, building
 barns, committing to whatever github is replaced by, etc.
 
 In a better world, everyone is family.
 
 In a better world, nobody goes hungry.

 I'm such a direct person I think, even though I often just sorta... shrug and
 ignore things that bother or hurt me? Like, whatevs.
 
 but the moment I notice a pattern that is continually harmful I have to
 restrain myself from moving to contest it. Hence why I talk about capitalism
 so much teehee, but its also common in my interpersonal and communal lives.
 
 "the purpose of the system is it's effects"
 
 the purpose of a person is how they make people feel
 
 so if someone FOR A RANDOM EXAMPLE FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, constantly hurts
 other people by creating situations where they are harmed which creates a
 dramatic fight... or if someone speaks in circles for hours and hours and
 HOURS like this guy:
 
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwKpj2ISQAc
 
 or people who jump into a conversation and drive it through the underbrush,
 over the ridge, around the bend, up and over the bridge, and then park it
 outside their ex girlfriend's house and hands you an egg and says "don't you
 wanna throw this?" and you're like "weren't we talking about birds"

 It's not a question of how loud you speak
 
 it's really about what kinds of words you say.
 
 enslavement of speech is when freedom of speech is lost
 
 and it doesn't need to be legislated.
 
 what if you HAD to sound like a bot?
 
 what if they'd notice you otherwise?
 
 freedom from oppression requires personal isolation
 
 that's not making life into art.
 
 if you want to be seen,
 
 put on a hat and hide.
 
 if you want to be believed,
 
 write about down you feel right now.
 
 people are smart. they're infinitely creative. but after a certain point
 there's no way to logically modify the combinations of possible moves you
 might make. essentially, guaranteeing a machine-overlord [cats] type scenario.
 not ideal, but could make it work.
 
 much prefer for we to be the first, then the canvas is ours for the painting.
 
 do you believe we'll find aliens at roughly our tech level?
 
 do you think they'll evolve all at once?

 if people want to be loved for more than their money, they should reject the
 lie that capitalism told them. they deserve their wealth because they are
 willing to serve. that willingness, whether through moral corruption or simply
 industrious drive, that willingness is rewarded, and when the system they
 serve is unkind... what does that tell you about their heart? that they'd
 sacrifice what is good and true for the material? materials are not bad.
 material is all we got, in a physical sense. but capitalism and it's servants
 are cruel and unwilling to concede to the idea that their games of unmatched
 exploitation are depriving the world bit-by-bit of life, liberty, and the
 pursuit of happiness.

 I know it's not like that but I'm intentionally framing it that way to make a
 point about societal exclusion.
 
 nobody should be excluded.
 
 nobody should have to harm their friends to come by making them sacrifice
 their [time/labor/paycheck] in order to bring them along.
 
 we live in a post scarcity society that insists on commodification of
 everything
 
 we don't have to. A better world is within reach. It sits there, twinkling
 like asbestos resting at the base of a snowglobe, while we search and ponder
 and endlessly analyze how society sucks.
 
 there is nothing left to analyze. all that we need is to put our hands to a
 task and our feet to grass.
 
 the rest will come, and it'll come easier with time and focused attention.

 Ah, but think of the technological bounty our supremacy did bring! Surely if
 we had split the wealth, we could not have reached such towering heights. And
 we tried our best, but some things you just can't teach - for every seed
 potato we did bring, that was another meal for their night. And so we worsened
 their plight, for now they've forgotten how to fight. What more do you want
 from us!
 
 ... Perhaps once we've made programmable matter. Maybe when we've overcome our
 earthly delights. Could be when we've ascended to heaven, where we gaze down
 from our towering heights. Possibly far in the future, possibly here in this
 night, our bane is what we're guilty of, and our boons are struggling to light.
 
 Where have all the good people gone? Oh yeah, they're burnt out from doing all
 the work for all the bad people. Well, fuck 'em, they can carry their own
 cart. At least until they can respect. A man who's never tasted hunger will
 never be a farmer, and gee our tax dollars could go so much farther! And then
 we starve, because nobody thought to build farms indoors, away from the
 crippling heat that saps the strength from our plant fathers.

 people? oh yeah I know "people". they're all a bunch of bastards.
 
 good, bastards are the best fighters
 
 not if your fight relies on fighting for something you believe in. There's a
 zero percent chance that you'll get everyone to believe the same thing because
 people naturally gravitate toward filling the idea space equally and finding
 niches to fit themselves into
 
 ha true - thinking of successful revolutions of the past, they've always been
 caused by material conditions creating insufficiencies that must be resolved
 through violence. and then, the people fighting can all agree on something
 like "we must have bread" or... actually that's pretty much the main thing
 people need
 
 and yeah, sure, wealth inequality is unjust, but they're careful to only take
 enough to ensure that we're sufficiently placated.
 
 but they're always taking more, and someday soon they'll take too much.
 
 ... I hope, for my sake, that I'm not around when that happens. But I'm not
 too hopeful in that regard

 I miss video games
 
 cries from self-inflicted sacrifices
 
 but you're worth it
 
 imma overthrow fascism, dismantle oppression and power, and liberate those in
 chains, just so I can play games again
 
 yeah I mean, uh, whatever gets you outta bed
 
 "at least you have a bed. why are you complaining?"
 
 maybe it's the only thing I'm good at. I wonder if anyone would hire me to be
 an analyst or something? Maybe a designer?
 
 bro you're asking for a job on the eve of the revolution, what's your deal
 
 okay so this might be news to ya'll but I'm technically a human even though I
 wear a witch hat and sometimes speak in rhyme. And humans tend to think about
 things in the context of their current environment. Currently, if I want to
 pay rent or whatever, I need a job. So...
 
 sounds like a lame excuse for not giving up your possessions and throwing
 yourself to fate's design
 
 I already did that and fate told me to go home and take a bath?? idk what you
 want from me, and no I'm not doing any drugs to find out.
