    The next evolutionary step for the human race is a global equal society.

    We are in the last bouts of fighting against our oligarchs dictators and kings before we curb stomp them and make the necessary changes to start living freely in our post scarcity world.

    It sucks we have to live during the turmoil, but we have to keep fighting.

    Keep fighting.

      I agree.

      This is the billionaires trying to maintain the status quo while the entire world turns against them.

      There’s nowhere safe for them to be, and all it takes is the right person getting close to them to end their reign. That’s why they are paranoid drug addicts building doomsday shelters instead of making the world better for everyone.

      It’s also the last of the boomers trying to hang on to a world order that made sense to them.

      We cannot afford to live the same lifestyle that middle-class boomers lived because they literally destroyed the planet in order to do so.

      Plus, I think we’re all fucking tired of being exploited and being advertised at. We just wanna make art and be at peace.
