As an American I know exactly why my country can’t do the same: Because we are ruled by greedy, short-sighted idiots: the voters.

Get out of here with that left vs right nonsense. The voters have no power, we have an electoral college so the popular vote doesn't even matter. What matters is the 1% buying politicians and elections with manufactured consent with platforms like Facebook.

This isn’t a left versus right thing. It’s all voters. They’re all greedy idiots. Including me.

Democracy was a mistake. Sentience was a mistake. Embrace fungus.

I left reddit after I realized that reddit was using an algorithm to addict me to endless doomscrolling--not a good combo with the obvious censorship on reddit rn. The equity running reddit can't convince me to go conservative--but they can incapacitate me in helpless outrage that goes nowhere. Despair is its own insidious propaganda.
