#fatalism
Posting this again because while it's an outrage that tax dollars may have been spent this way it appeals to me that the fools who did it would spend the rest of their days living underground in each other's company with all their wealth only on paper. Think if this kind of wastage was, instead, directed at solving problems that are considered too expensive (unprofitable) to fix.

American Pie

And in the streets, the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

Maybe fascism and killing a few billion (yes) people really is the answer to saving humankind.
I will weep for all that die. And I will hope for the future humans that they rise again and against.
#words ... Help a guy out here. My daughter is writing a dissertation and she wants to put in a word that describes the #attitude a person might display when they're told they have only a short time to live and they respond by going "ah well I may as well go out and spend it all and have fun before I die because you can't take it with ya". #fatalism springs to mind but we're convinced that there's a better #english word for it. Anyone?
THE END - A short story
A handful of decrepit old men decide to enslave the world in #tyranny and suffering.
A few more join them in hopes of getting a piece of the action.
Many more carry out their orders, telling themselves they aren't responsible for their actions, hoping to be slayed last.
The rest sigh and stare at their feet, waiting to be slaughtered.
The End

The average person is extremely unlikely to personally engage and call out #Trump #Musk or #Zuckerberg , compared to doing the same with your neighbors, friends, and family.
If you can't even stand up against fascist #apps on your phone, or that hateful relative at the dining table, what chance is there of standing up to fascist dictators?

To Fight #Billionaire-Backed #Fascism, We Need #Grit and #Solidarity—Not #Hope.
This deeply perilous time requires #realism—but not #fatalism. In the worst of times, #solidarity is most needed.

The best way to ruin my day is to roll your eyes and sigh, "well, it's not really worth trying to make things better at this point"

Meanwhile there's just nothing that can be done to protect ranchers and abbitoir slaves from infected cattle...same as covid, nothing works...except not blowing bottoms.

A quotation from Omar Khayyam:
«
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.

Nothing is #inevitable. #Fascists portray themselves as an unstoppable force of nature to discourage resistance. This narrative is flawed because it ignores the dynamic nature of #society & deprives a lot of people of their agency. #History shows that concerted efforts can overcome #oppresive #regimes and ideas. By ejecting #fatalism and embracing our agency, we affirm that change is always possible, resistance is both meaningful and above all necessary. Hate is a choice,not inevitability.
Nate Hagens now has a Discord server.
Already some quality posts there. 😀
Commented on Reddit that a study has shown that we can solve the biggest problems for most people in the world for a few hundred billion dollars, if the world wanted to.
Apparently people hate the idea that we can make the world a better place. Must be really addictive to believe we are all hapless slaves who bear no responsibility for our existence. Except when terrorizing minorities. Then suddenly we are all righteous and powerful.

I too was struck with this response & took the liberty of answering the same whenever someone asked me that same question.
