    Fun fact, part of what we’re going through in the U.S. today is being heavily driven by antisocial troglodytes in big tech companies who genuinely believe that you and everyone you love (or even remotely like) should die so they can get on with building utopia!

    Idk, I’d personally like to do everything I can not to emulate them or help their goals succeed. That’s just me.

      antisocial

      What you say is true, and yet there’s something more deeply unsettling. The ideology and founding of the U.S. is at its core anti-social. So is the competitive economy (and so on). It’s a dog eat dog structure of things, not just a few dip shits in the <1% (although it is that too)

      I was antisocial before it was cool. they are emulating me if anything.

      besides, I’m not going to be something I’m not just because some rich assholes decided to make it their whole evil plan.

        Sadly their version of utopia an underground vault with workers to do all the dirty nasty work while they live in luxury and complain about anything that bothers them.

        I mean at this point fall out is looking to be a documentary from the future.

        There’s a massive, massive difference between introversion and antisocial personality. One can be a shut in and not be anti-social. One cannot be antisocial and function as a healthy member of society, and like it or not we need society

      At this point, they can have it. They just have to figure out how to upload my consciousness to a computer, load that computer into a von Neumann probe, and fire me off into space. Yes I like the Bobivers series. I’d kick back a few rocks to mine on my way out to pay my way, then take off and start exploring.

      In the realm of possibility just give me $10 million so I can invest it and live off the dividends. I’ll build a nice three bedroom house and keep to myself and just work on things that actually interest me instead of working to survive. They can have their hellscape utopia, I just want to be left alone.

          I’m glad to see others still have the fight in them. I’m in my 40’s, burnt out, no wife or kids to fight for, and my parents are in their late 70’s. I spent a lot of my life fighting to make things better and it’s only gotten worse faster, I’m tired, I’m burnt out, and I just don’t care anymore, I just want to pass the torch to someone who still cares and then live a quiet life.
