this is the first line of Lamb of God’s Reclamation and boy does that song get more relevant every year
Thanks for the callout.
Americans after one bad election: “Everyone in the whole history of the world is trash and we should all be exterminated”
No I’ve recognized the virus-like existence of humans for the bulk of my 43 years. We have the capacity to do better, but don’t and that’s what makes us so fucking awful.
No one thinks they’re a bad person, but bad people exist.
Misanthropy is an understandable sentiment, but succumbing to it robs you of the agency to make the world a better place.
This pisses me off. I can’t make the world a better place. We can’t make it a better place. We are the very reason it’s as bad as it is! Squirrels aren’t out there with ponzi schemes. Toads aren’t building machines that destroy natural resources. Scorpions aren’t committing genocide in the name of a made up God so they can take land from other scorpions. We are the only thing on this planet that does not fit into the systems that exist. I know that kind of statement bothers people because you believe yourselves to be good because your aren’t X, but everything you and I do causes suffering. Everything.
So can we start over?
Sure, but perhaps we could find a means different from what he was suggesting.
👀 are we pissing on the moon???
That part bugged me. The partial destruction of the moon would throw off so much of our environment. Tides, gravitational flux…
