    Five minutes ago, I didn’t care about this guy. Now I’m proud of him for taking a principled stand.

              I swear to God it was the guy who did thrift shop. My wife and I started taking about it and she said that I’m not in the right timeline lol. I even told my fucking daughter like 4 weeks ago he was dead. She is 9 and just heard it for the first time and showed me and I was like oh yeah, that guy was great. And she was like, was?

                Macklemore and Mac Miller just have very similar sounding names. That combined with Macklemore not having any super popular songs in a while so you probably haven’t heard about him in a while.

    I think the world is much darker. So dark that people can only make the change that the rulers of earth allow. Even if they think they won something, the rulers already knew about the losses they’d cut, and nothing changes for them that they can’t write off.

    Think of it like a game. We, the privileged 1st world, are the pawns in a game of chess, with set rules of movement and ability, while the poor are the board, a foundation holding us up. The other chess pieces are classes and even the king and queens aren’t their own rulers. They are getting played too. So, to take action in the game is to be played by the rulers hands.

    I don’t know if there’s hope in humanity. It feels like every gain they let the regular human beings have ends up being social mirage.

    (I don’t know much about Gaza and Israel… This is just a generic rant on life…)

      I agree with you, my feeling is that this board was slowly built by our economic system money rules the world if you don’t want to play in this board made by slaves you are out of the game if you want to be promoted you have to kill others and in the end you become a bigger piece in a greedy game of destruction

      With all of this said I feel you have to stay hopeful, because it’s better to believe that there can be change, and actually good things have happened we did stop dumping dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere, there has been cooperation, I think it’s fair to stay hopeful
