I’ll believe it when I see it. Someone has to maintain the buildings and people as they age. Without people you don’t have a society. Norms break down, culture breaks down and then some other group will come in to fill the void.
Looks around, fuck your society and your shitty fast food, gas station, Amazon Warehouse buildings.
If you look at the world through gray shaded glasses, you might think the world to be dull.
If you look upon reality and then deny the truth you will only decive a fool who dooms everyone.
Whose truth?
Dumb ass comments like this is why we have trump as a president twice. Just keep playing the game it should end up great for a few.
For each one of you, there are 1.2 people on the other side of the aisle who think they’re just as right as you think you are.
If you want to reach them, may I suggest you try honey rather than vinegar.
Honey has the added bonus of converting to mead.
Lol yeah if the Democrats would just lean a little more conservative, they would have won the election absolute 🤡.
“Have you ever thought about just kissing the asses of people who want to subjugate you? That really would make it easier for them if you just roll over.” - You. That’s what you sound like.
If Bernie can cross over the aisle and author a bill with a Republican, then I think all of us could gain from a little humility.
Progressives cross the aisles all the time, that’s not impressive, mostly because it is never beneficial to progressive politics. How about some conservatives cross some fucking aisles every once in a generation instead of playing to party politics like it’s a god damned sporting event. Fuck off with this.
We've seen it over and over throughout history and it's always been positive. The Black plague. Most recently WW2 depopulated the West of the most able bodied workers. The result wasn't a collapse but a boom. Those remaining had cheap housing and were paid more for their labor because there were fewer workers.
When population declines enough that everyone has resources, population will go back up again.
I’m not sure that we should celebrate the deaths of millions as a boon to society. I Imagine all the beautiful contributions to the arts, innovations and society that we missed out on.
Nobody said to celebrate, just that we should learn from history.
If we could recreate the effects (higher wages, lower living costs) without the cause (millions dead), maybe we could reap the same benefits.
