Life sucks then you die...

being an archaeologist in tumblr is so funny because I see so many text posts and go. Imperialism pre-dates capitalism. Rebellion against empires pre-dates capitalism. Money pre-dates capitalism. Social inequality pre-dates capitalism. Misogyny pre-dates capitalism. Wealth inequality pre-dates capitalism. Unilateral rule by oppressive rulers pre-dates capitalism. People’s dependence on their job for their survival pre-dates capitalism. Capitalism as an economic system is about 200-250 years old max but these problems are much, much older, and capitalism supports, entrenches, or exacerbates many of these problems… doesn’t mean it invented them and doesn’t mean they will simply cease to be problems After Capitalism.

#saw a post the other day that referred to paying taxes as a ‘modern problem’#sorry man but that’s like one of the oldest problems in the book

we lost the battle when people's main objections to ai were about it not creating "real art" and not how it disproportionately incorrectly identifies black people as criminals and how RATs are then used to keep said people in jail, how it is and will be used in drone/military operations, how demand for ai means that mining operations will increase, and how it wastes so many fucking resources just to run even the shittiest programs. but yes its killing the creativity of The Youth, that is definitely the most pressing issue here

my kink is more subversive and avant-garde than yours. your kink could be easily understood with a few googlé searches but mine requires lengthy knowledge of classical and modern literature. and it’s more taboo as well.

John Cena's social media is fascinating because his twitter is the most generic sounding inspirational messages ever that sound like theyre from an old calendar while his instagram is filled with weird memes that Cena mustve made himself because a lot of them seem like he's the only person that understands them

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.

“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being." — Robert Anton Wilson

People really come into your life and just waste the fuck out of your time
