Consequences are the only way out of all this.
And the consequences won’t come from the same system that put them into power.
i used to have the impression that grownups were competent
It turned out confidence and competence are mutually exclusive.
Mine is that people think punishment will come after death, so there is limited reason to bother seeking justice now. Extremely apathetic world view.
Mine is that for a surprisingly large amount of people, the threat of punishment in the afterlife is all that’s keeping them from raping and murdering.
Thoughts and prayers are easier than change

*wealthy bad people
Poor bad people get disproportionately punished to be made an example of.
Lately I’ve been telling myself “no war but class war” whatever a dickhead in a shitty car cuts me off or rides in the shoulder or something, as a reminder that “poor bad people” are victims too.
Basically it helps direct my anger at those who deserve it more, not the misguided thin blue line jagoff who probably will be homeless if they miss a paycheck, etc. (And don’t get me wrong, I wanna strangle them but we have a common enemy even if they don’t know it!)
My experience with shitty managers tells me that it’s not just rich people.
Richer than their workers
It’s about the wealth-gradient.
Shit always moves down the gradient.
Temperature gradient. Pressure gradient. Wealth gradient is the same.
That’s why they say “shit rolls downhill.”
Yeah but I’m guessing the shift manager at burger king is not going home to a mansion.
But that’s the game. Keep the poors fighting over scraps.
Poor “perfectionist ethics” good people get punished even worse.
People who are ethically normal and average but poor are usually content. People who operate on vibes are fine. I’m surrounded by them.
But if you are stupid and selfish you are fucked and if you are smart and neurotic about being a good person you are double fucked.
My favorite adult discovery is that anyone can make them pay with enough effort, even if they can only do so once.
All praise saint luigi
I don’t know what you mean by that. On December 4th, 2024, Luigi Mangione was having apres ski hot chocolate (~4:30 PM Mountain time) with my wife and I in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Luigi is a fucking hero but FUCK THAT AI trash. Fuck is that creepy and weird.
Yep fuck this shit
The face always morphs so it looks like them from the corner of your eye, but like an off brand version when you look closer.

Disappointment? That shit shoock me, I had to mourn the good of man after adolescence.
Yeah but they go to hell after they die though /s
Meanwhile, prosperity gospel: “LOL. LMAO”
As long as they have the power they can shield themselves from consequences.
And good people always get fucked over
“Grab em by the justice. When you’re rich they just let you.”
