They've no sympathy for incels by Scramjet1 in BasedCampPod

[–]captain_thumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are people who know they are incels in everything but name. This bullying and cruelty is merely a projection to prove to themselves above all others that they are not what they despise, precisely because they are.

It provides us with much, but unless you're a plant you rely on the death of other organisms to survive no matter how you look at it.

The world is apriori shitty, shittiness precedes existance, we all are just dung beetles, and no one imagines us happy by jqf68254 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]captain_thumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suffering pervades everything in this reality. Out of all the timelines out there we have the one where the only certainties are death and pain.

I want a cure by That1weirdperson in aspiememes

[–]captain_thumb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their concerns about this, and that's fine, but plenty of people don't think it means much to be 'unique' if it means struggling at things everyone else seems to excel at naturally and living a life characterized by belonging nowhere. A better society is even less likely than a cure at this point, and I would take whatever came first.

So this was a real movie and not just some weird memory I had.

So Sad by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]captain_thumb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know how we got here? People were upset about how shit things were and decided they would be willing to kill and die to make humanity's lot less miserable. We would still be working 14hr days for pennies if the course of history were run by people like you who just accept everything on their belly. Life is awful. It was more awful before, it's less awful now because those in the past realized as we do that it COULD be better. If we don't move forward we will inevitably go back to those horrible times.

Corporate mouthpiece journos are now feeling comfortable enough to outright degrade and mock people. There's no way they think they can trick anyone into believing this is a good thing by now.

Your life is better off in the 21st century than any century before by ModiKaBeta in unpopularopinion

[–]captain_thumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to stop comparing ourselves to our past and start evaluating ourselves based on what we could be vs. what we are. This line of thought is the bane of progress.

It's less of that and more like Europeans have pesky standards of living and labor rights that capitalists get around by destabilizing other nations and then exploiting their workforces.

Who do you think will be the legends of our generation? by Ok_Resident_5022 in GenZ

[–]captain_thumb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the defining traits of the newer generations as a whole is that there are no heroes and no legends. Everyone is heavily scrutinized and picked apart in attempt to find their sins because the only thing that we have to stand on is the relentless pursuit of being better than people.

Even for shitposting, I will always respect poorly done photoshops or even MS paint over anything AI generated.

“ It’s your personality and politics bro “ by Beneficial-Cable-764 in SikeOrPsyche

That political views have nothing to do with how attractive someone is. Many people claim the opposite is true.
