  • my fears are many but they are all tied to one constant: capitalism

    • Modern American fascism is seemingly unstoppable. The legal protections in place have been eroded and the heads of agencies have been replaced with Trump loyalists. Deportation of legal residents is currently happening and the administration is actively looking into stripping citizenship from born Americans. Trump has mentioned several times that political and moral enemies would be targets. Nobody is coming for us. Nobody is going to stop this. The average American has been pacified and made powerless; nobody believes in radical revolution.
    • Every single major AI company has stated their goal is AGI (artificial general intelligence; or what we colloquially understand as actual artificial intelligence) and humanity is absolutely unprepared for it. We have no systems in place to prevent misalignment of AGI agents and our focus of profit above all else will only guarantee a misguided path.
    • Genocide is happening worldwide and the majority of the world is living in poverty.
    • I am a gender, sexuality, and religious minority, and my far left radical beliefs make me a target


  • just because someone is “worse” than you doesn’t mean they don’t have value

    very true. however, it does make me less willing to be friends with them. we can be mutually kind and supportive, but i don’t want to know them on a personal level. also, it’s all a spectrum anyway. there are greys between each side, so it’s not like i’m looking for carbon copies of myself. but the radius of my tolerance is low, lol.

    i try to lean forward, i do. i am, to my own chagrin, romantically optimistic about humanity. but it isn’t unrealistic. i ground myself by keeping up on sociological and political trends. shit is bad. shit is worse than bad. shit is worse than worse than bad. it’s all impacted how i see others and their role in the world.







  • It is possible to improve and for things to get better.

    oh sure, i don’t deny that. i have experienced a lot of positive growth over the years and hope it continues. but i am not financially stable enough to pursue psychiatric and psychological treatment, so… just kinda dealing with it the ways i can.

    Does that mean you can’t value someone with different beliefs than you?

    not necessarily. our differences cannot be significant. it does mean i am far more intolerant than most, though, but on a personal level… not as an outward participant in society. i am pleasant to everyone i meet, but developing a friendship comes with baggage for me. i am less willing to talk to people with the goal of friendship in mind because i largely encounter folks who, frankly, i am better than. and that’s pretty sad because i suck.

    What group, if you saw it was starting up in your area, would motivate you to go out and meet people?

    it is unlikely i would go because i am unable to attend events solo due to anxiety. if i don’t know anyone i have no security blanket. i am not in the right headspace to tackle this issue at the moment.
