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.

You're expecting a perfect candidate. This is not how politics works. You need to reject the worst party at every turn until they're dead, and the window shifts a little more toward "dispensing collected resources as per the wishes of the people" kind of management. It's not gonna happen overnight.

But if you're suggesting it's all fucked regardless of whom we elect, then I suspect you're in one of those areas who get gaslit a LOT and are used to politicians immediately going back on everything after the election. Lougheed wasn't the first and he definitely wasn't the last. I bet you don't have a coastline.

Right now, voting is more "harm reduction" than "great strides", even if the latter's required. We're just not getting that kind of leader, so our choice is between "harm reduction" and "faux-ristocracy".

At least we can protest the one we got over the idiot idea of the week.

The only candidate I have faith in is Avi Lewis and the NDP.

But the media keeps manipulating public opinion against them. In fact the media has a huge part to play in all of this. Never have the masses been so thoroughly manipulated.

Avi needs to accept we need fossil fuels as a bridge before he will have any national success.. but he might be ok if he can come around on that issue. Farming and industry still needs to be able to operate and provide.
