there is not a single thing to save in the top half, this shit is far beyond any recovery

the horizontal axis is basically whether you want to cooperate and act as a whole, or individualize and act as one

i can sometimes enjoy the right because that's what it does. it's enjoyable when you're privileged enough to try it. it exists around personal fantasies.

we need the left because the only reason we're alive and that more advanced is through cooperation

as the most concise comparison i can think of,

the right is scamming each other through capitalism and an infinitely divided global efficiency for artificially rare cocaine and a few lords

the left is covering half the country in weed and sharing the yield with everyone, not caring who gets more because everyone has far enough

honestly i wouldn't hesitate a second and go build community-funded weed collecting machines

and the comparison goes on:

nobody cares who collected 20 grams more than average.

everybody cares about that one who collected hundred tons and now asks you for something in exchange until his family is the richest for many generations.

imagine now someone passes a law and hurts you if you grow it yourself. o

a few greedy assholes can turn a very practical utopia into hell. and profit.

WE COULD ALL HAVE FREE FOOD HEALTH HOUSING EDUCATION AND WEED

it's not a technical challenge, it hasn't been for a long time.
scarcity is a lie to make you work for a greedy fuck

there are free lunches if people are willing to give free lunches.

people will give out free lunches because that's how the specie has always survived. they're naturally made to cooperate and feed each other, not eat each other.

unless you take away so much from them that they become forced to take, and start a mutually destructive cycle of greed where people don't work together, but against each other. call it capitalism, or special failure.

@CobaltVelvet I take it you've seen Steven Hawking's last reddit post, it's very relevant:
