See? This right here, this is what it should be. Some actual seriously helpful things. This is what I support. 

What counts is if you actually do something about it.

Getting stuff done in reality is already hard enough. And as if that's not enough, you are taking on additional restrictions with these higher ideals. Well worth it imo but it's doubtful if you could make it big.

In a healthy, developed society corporations would place the betterment of mankind as their highest priority and profit as secondary. Until that happens society will be sick and corrupt.

Seems unrealistic no? A company’s goal will always be to maximise profit. Government’s role should be to keep them in check and regulate them

Two souls fractured by the machinery of consumption, underpinned by an unhealthy stage orange. These two are not only symptoms of a sick system, but are mirrors reflecting the ugliness of it. This is the toxic run off of individualism, materialism and domination.

When your state breaks laws and bones abroad, this ethos trickles into the psyche of the people, who end up violently breaking the law themselves vigilante style, and breaking hearts - even their own, in the name of freedom. Their embodying the same creed their empire taught them.

They sell individualism as agentic freedom when it’s sophisticated isolation. We are atomised in urban jungles, ripe and vulnerable for predation by corporations. The same ethos of materialism, individualism and domination that imperialises beyond Western borders, cannibalises its own citizens within its borders.

Luigi lashed out to harm an avatar of the system - the CEO of the largest health insurer. Lily lashed out against herself in an act of self harm - dressed up as liberation and spectacle.

Wow this killer guy read Camus, now this makes sense. If you want to dive into his mind read stranger by Camus.

God this is the most cringe, embarassing post I have read on this forum for a while.

You seem to be in a trolling mood lately dropping in on different topics to dismiss peoples comments in a rude manner. Just like calling Raze a 'bane on existence' and that people like him should be removed form the forum. Cancel culture vulture energy.

Because you are, it's unacceptable that we have to tolerate such drivel on this forum. You're conspiracy brained propagandists who are not even aware of it. There is no arguing or conversing with you guys, you just poison the conversations.

Interesting. It's funny, though, in Lily's case a guy paid her to send him her spit in a bottle and I'm sure some weird other cases. Nobody talks about the weirdos who have these sick fantasies of which I've seen plenty of, but always want to attack the person fulfilling them. Who would request somebody's spit by mail. Only a fucking weirdo. The only reason women like these are able to do what they do is because there's an audience for it, but we tend to ignore that and bash these women and call them names. If that was a guy, it would be a different story, hey man you're the Don, wish that was me screwing 100 women in a day.

Everybody talking about how handsome this dude is. He even has a fan-base. Geesh, shows the mentality of our human race. Go Luigi, go. You so handsome. Now, all CEO's are on edge.

We don't realize that all those materialistic accomplishments that we happen to succeed at, like this guy, when you check his background, don't mean a thing in regards to mental health. Sometimes it even aids in mental decline and breeds narcissism and arrogance and lack. We look up to the wrong kinds of people sometimes. I guess they are a direct replica of other minds, but are too coward to show themselves. Lots of sick people hiding in the closet.

People don't seem to grasp that many big corporate CEOs are essentially just employees of the Board and shareholders.

They are hired and fired based on performance. If you're not willing to maximize profits for the company, you won't last long.

The worst is that these people are all hypocritical neanderthals who should immediately self-terminate given the type of atrocities they commit daily and fully support, like paying for individuals to be literally tortured, raped and killed perpetually on the basis of having a sufficiently different genetic code.

If I only adopted a fraction of their justifications for violence, I'd have to become a terrorist and kill every one of these socialist subhumans.

You know, now that you say that, I refuse to die.

This could make for a nice taoist poem.

To be real though it's ahistorical to suggest that violence is not the answer. It's just that it makes people uncomfortable to accept that and the ramifications of it. Like what if it's used again me unjustly?

What is law? Law requires controlled violence to enforce. Law and courts are entirely about violence. How do you think you are going to enforce death penalty or any other punishment for that matter.

The Gandhi types have convinced the world that you can win over your enemies through peace. In reality nothing could bring down unjust people faster than bombs and guns. Yes it's messy. Because that's where the most growth lies.
