Lately I've had a really hard time finding pleasure in anything.

The world is such a depressing inhumane shit show at the moment. And I'm tired of being gaslit by every government from my local borough administration all the way to the federal government.

Capitalism and fascism had taken a hold on the world's nations the likes of which we have never seen in the history of humankind.

And the worst part is I feel people have been indoctrinated to as point where we're never gong to collectively get out of it. I don't even think a violent revolution is possible because people are too fucking dumb to notice what's wrong.

And the "fuck you, I got mine" attitude that capitalism has brought has ruined any chance of salvation. Empathy and solidarity are ridiculed as being some woke mind virus.

The world's climate is beyond fucked. There's wars and crimes against humanity being perpetrated by the Epstein class in our name. We keep electing wolves in sheep's clothing who win our votes on fake promises to help us then turn against us and double down on policies that make life more difficult and increase our level of misery. Unless you're a billionaire CEO or a politician, your life is absolutely worthless. You're nothing more than a low value resource. And you don't have freedom. Neither of speech or otherwise. Not as long as what you say or do goes against what the elites want.

We're fucked. I don't foresee any future worth living in.

Rise. Get organized. Yell it from the rooftops.

If I weren't so fucked physically, I'd be out there screaming this in intersections.

For what? Only to get beat up by the cops? Possibly get labelled as a terrorist?

Watch what's gonna happen at the people protesting CANSEC in Ottawa. Or those protesting the expansion of General Dynamics in Vaudreuil. They're gonna get beat up I bet. By a bunch of cops in military grade outfits with body armor, gas masks, helmets, clubs, shotguns with rubber bullets, grenade launchers with tear gas, flashbangs, armored trucks, high pressure fire hoses, audiophonic weapons that cause dizziness and nausea, and spying on the protesters with special cellular network hacking devices to intercept messages, see who's there and prosecute them later.

And the thing is, nobody fucking cares. This is going to show up on the news on TV and the average joe and Jane are only going to see a bunch of punks with Palestinian scarves over their face and the news anchor's going to say they were troublemakers and disturbing the peace. Casting them in a bad light to skew public opinion.

The game is rigged, man.

"Rise up!" shouted everyone, not really knowing how and vehemently disagreeing with each other on the goals.

Idk man I'm just not having kids.

Same. Gonna go get a vasectomy.
