Using ChatGPT to do basic research is such a red flag for me. I really have no tolerance for people who can't think enough for themselves or think enough of themselves to do things the (so-called) hard way.

Listen, I’m not pissed about the state of the world because I have seasonal depression… I’m just over the gross predation done in plain sight that is oligarchic fascism. If you don’t think we need to burn that shit down, then it’s you who failed that 2025 assignment, not me.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Money is a construct … it has no value outside of what we imagine it has. What if we all decide it wasn’t worth anything anymore? Then what would the greedy oligarchs have/do (if their hoarded wealth suddenly became worthless)?
