We didn’t realize it then, but kids’ shows used to be this calm on purpose.

Manusia tak reti bersyukur. Malaysia dah layan baik, sampai la geng geng hang start buat taik. Negara Asia lain terima hangpa dengan baik, sampai la depa sendiri tak tahan. Yang problem tu siapa? Tanya la geng geng hang.

A month into our private beta where we're onboarding select users from the waitlist and have just crossed the $300k threshold for amount deposited into Goldsand. That's up to $21,000 a year in interest-free returns for our users and we haven't even launched publicly yet, alhamdulillah!

The saddest part is that most doctors aren't being paid by pharma. They just genuinely believe the propaganda.

The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations. Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders. That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live. It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless. Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains. Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal. Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing. Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships. Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks. Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts. Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so. You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this. And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself. All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections. All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival. This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under. I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us. They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.

I laugh at feminists who actually think the handmaids tale is some living dystopia. It is the complete opposite. Let's imagine an alternate dystopia: women are fed hormone altering pills from teenage years to make them infertile through their prime fertility years, whilst they work to deliver profits for mostly male elite bosses. And if they accidentally get pregnant, the baby is killed so they can continue to generate profit. It's a good plot. It is just real life. Not a work of fiction

And the individual and family say: but how can we own a house? You can’t. What you own is a debt and the interest payments you owe the institution, whether it is straight interest or interest disguised by all sorts of trickery by so-called ‘Islamic’ institutions.

this didn't "happen", we caused it first, children disappeared from daily life most women turn 30 without ever holding a baby (they don't have siblings or cousins, and young babies have been removed from shared spaces), never changed a diaper or watched one up close. you cant want what you've never seen second, we killed the single income. the average family needs both parents working just to get to the end of the month, so raising a family well went from hard to something practically impossible (2-3 months of maternity leave should be considered a crime against humanity). then schools and media, the whole cathedral, all pushed towards the same direction in a systematic brainwashing effort: pushing every girl at the career, motherhood turned into that despicable thing you settle for when the better options run out, "a smaller life". nothing worth desiring, and if you do you must be ostracised social media just finished the job. presented childfree as freedom and ideal life, filmed the worst four seconds of a mothers day and called it a warning or "here's motherhood" and underneath all of it, we removed people from history no ancestors you owe anything, no descendants you're building for, just one atomic self detached from any sense of continuity. one life with no purpose other than its own selfish goals especially for western people who have been taught that their ancestors are the most evil humans who ever existed someone with no past and no future has no reason to see themselves as part of history, and everything they do revolves around their own pleasure why would you carry something you were raised to be ashamed of? so a quarter of women raised in captivity selecting for civilizational suicide becomes inevitable the idea that this was a conscious choice is delusional. we are the first species in history to get everything it ever wanted: safety, medicine, abundance, ninety good years, and the result is suicide. everything else alive still manages to reproduce through famine and plagues. we got paradise and stopped anyone shutting off their own survival drive with no threat in sight is definitionally suicidal and that's where we are now
