Not a troll post. Why is everything shit?
Capitalism/greed, religion/racism & hate, selfishness/shortsightedness
It was always shit. Now we just have technology that lets us see all of it.
There was always a genocide going on somewhere in the world. Cops always brutalized and killed people. The wealthy always exploited the poor. New diseases are always popping up and spreading. Politicians were always corrupt.
The internet tells us about all of it. We no longer have the bliss of ignorance.
Not everything is shit, we’re just in a massive downturn, so all the things that suck are growing while all the things that rule are being downplayed.
There is still beauty in the world, and there is still hope. We just have to work together to make sure it isn’t buried under all the shit we see day in and day out.
Because of the collapse of the USSR. It was the only thing scaring capitalists into giving something to the people.
I genuinely believe this
Same thoughts here.
Without fear of opposition becoming dominant, the ruling powers that be are not incentivised to placate the masses, and instead consolidate power and turn to self-enrichment. Similar to what is seen in autocratic or single-party states, eventually leading to some sort of collapse or revolution when the people reach a breaking point.
Capitalists currently control the world, and they’re not going to cede any of that control voluntarily unless they have something to be afraid of.
Unchecked capitalism.
This is the one true root cause answer.
Yes. The US used to work to prevent and break up monopolies. This allowed some of the optimistic promises of capitalism to work. There was competition that worked to bring prices down and quality up.
In the past few decades we’ve witnessed dozens of competing businesses merged to form conglomerates with little more than speed bumps from government to slow them down, presumably to line the pockets of the would be overseers.
We lost the competition that drove innovation. There’s little need to do anything to gain market share when there’s no real competition. Instead these mega corporations focus on efficiency to bring costs down, because they’re answering to shareholders now instead of consumers.
The result is supply chains have become fragile. One supply chain disruption results in a total shut down, because redundancies have been eliminated. When you have competition, you must have redundancies to ensure you can remain competitive. No need for that when you have no competitors.
and lets be clear that the us only did this for a while because the unionists and socialists were damn about to do a revolution.
then the capitalist world stopped caring about worker well being after the soviet union went kaput, and started slowly dismantling it.
If something bad came from the Soviet dissolution (besides the extreme decline of living standards in many of those countries) is that it completely killed any left-wing ideals in the west. Unions, welfare and common good were seen as “defeated” ideas, because capitalism had won. People still haven’t recovered from the “capitalism won” mentality, so anything that comes even close to left wing is immediately shut down
it isn’t
if you are assuming everything’s shit and looking for justification then i would say it’s probably caused by chakra mis-alignment
Uncheckedcapitalism.
This dude explains(in a couple minutes) why boomers are how they are and why they are breaking down society
The United States Supreme Court decided everything should go to shit on December 12, 2000.
That was just the warmup. They got serious about it on January 21, 2010.
Same reason why Hip Hop sucked in 96: https://youtu.be/yKf40CLF9MU
Corporations. Stop giving them money any way possible.
Because the economic conditions of the modern world allow for tyranny and the people haven’t figured out that we need to unite and overthrow the tyrants to build a better society.
It isn’t. Yes there’s lots of bad stuff, but there’s also lots of good stuff too
Maybe if you’re lucky
Not enough guillotines
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Unchecked capitalism
Why do you delete your posts? Or is an admin/mod deleting them?
Shitposting.
Thank you. Thats helpful. I don’t need to be someone’s disposable foil. I’ll just block them.
“One bad apple spoils the bunch.”
We have a lot of bad apples.
This tree is “Oops, all bad apples!”
Sometimes the barrel is bad, not even the apples (eg. police)
Om a micro or meso level, there is still plenty of good to be found. Look there for your daily sanity check. If you only look at the macro level, you’ll just get more depressed.
