Good times create weak people. Weak people create bad times. Bad times create strong people. Strong people create good times.

Repeat.

Otherwise - because you are being absolutely nuke-blasted by negative news all around the world. If you wen’t offline for a month, you wouldn’t see any issue at all.

Because evil is loud and self-important, and people doing good have learned to be mycelial, underground, quietly building the new world in the shell of the old.

Because people say stupid shit like “but they have laser-guided drones and you have a rifle!”

Fucking idiots do not understand how revolution works and dont know that the US military has failed every invasion.

We need more violent good guys

While times seem bad, and they are worse than they used to be, especially with the election of Donald Trump, imagine what it was like during WW2. Nazi Germany invaded France, Czechoslovakia, and half of Poland (with the Soviet Union the other half); Britain stood alone. Spain was under fascist dictatorship. Now Russia barely controls 1/5 of Ukraine, and has suffered many thousands of losses in tanks and armoured vehicles. Modern Russia is now weaker than the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany was (for their time period).

Because it always has been. It’s called capitalism. This system will literally destroy the planet and enslave all live for the profits of a few ultra privileged man babies.

Because people have become comfortable enough (can’t remember the downside) to flirt with populism.

Once they get the short sharp shock of what it actually means to be governed by these people we might recover from it… Maybe

That is the eventual conclusion of capitalism, the way it is currently set to play out.

The only forces that could act against it depend on the distribution of critical information… And those are owned by the same private interests… Soooooo. We’ll see. Doesn’t bode well at all.

Because most people are either stupid, evil, or stupid and evil.

I don’t know what the solution is, I can only hope its mostly just the “extreme ignorance” type of stupidity and not evil or “willing ignorance” stupidity and after experiencing the suffering they’ve enabled for themselves that they put 2 and 2 together and things maybe recover partially or enough to prevent the end of human civilization as we know it.

The rebels in Myanmar are winning.

There’s a new miracle drug for addictions.

That’s all I can think of.

One aspect is that mass media is overall owned by those people and is propaganda. If you don’t have ways of seeing what’s happening on the ground, you miss a lot of the good news. Even your twitter/bs/mastodon feeds won’t give you the full story, you have to (where possible) get involved in a real community organization.

Evil was winning, we’re watching the collapse of the evil empire from within.

Because we have been taking the high road. Time to play on their level. Have no shame!

Because they are.

Can I reccomend for you Vlad Vexler on utube. He is a polital philosopher in the UK, whp spends most of his time dealing with this topic. He has some wonderul content which is both educated and humane.
