Those in power don’t care about the innocents they kill, the genocide their system causes, the suffering, the bigotry, the inequality.

They are simple-minded. To them, the world is a game of kill or be killed, and they won. They don’t care or care to understand that their “winning” will kill them too eventually. They live in a fantasy world where the only rule is take until you die. They will use every tool that the system rigged to favour them has given them. You cannot shame them into submission. To them, if they submit they die and It’s you or them. Don’t try to convince them otherwise, to them your words are a trick to win and become just as sick as they are.

Take, consume until it’s all gone, move on, take, consume, move, take, consume, move.

The only thing they know how to do is take a beautiful creation and turn it into death.

The worst part is that they don’t want to be any better.

They are broken human beings that eat their own children, their own species, a cancer, and if we let them they won’t stop until the species is dead. Until everything is dead and there is nothing left to kill.

    This is why I always stress that I am not a leftist because of some emotional, spiritual, or altruistic reason. The underlying root and substance of my position is that it is in my rational self interest. You could say it’s selfish. Those other things are important but they are not the anchor of my beliefs. I believe a better world is possible because I want to live in it. Safety for myself and my loved ones at the expense of others is doomed to eventual failure. True safety and security can only be achieved through socialism.

      Exactly,my main hatred of these people is that they are plunging all of us into chaos with no plan in mind

      I want peace and security more than anything and capitalism and its attack dogs will do anything to erode every last bit of safety in this world and ruin what we could’ve had

      Also,my hatred is doubled because I am relatively young,being born into a world of promises and somewhat more optimistic outlook on the future,even if it was a neoliberal lie,only to come into adulthood to see it all crumbling down is all the more infuriating

      I think it’s more cruel to give a person hope only to then squash it and reveal it was all a lie. At least those in misery expect things to be bad from the get go
