If we can’t, then we’ve already failed. You mentioned climate change in your response, so you should know that U.S. imperialism is the biggest driving factor in it. And if you know about that, then you probably know that they’ve given us basically until 2030, at the very best, to keep the temperature of the planet from hitting 2 degrees Celsius. Because we’re already at 1.6 degrees Celsius in temperature rise. And I don’t know about you, man, but I don’t want to live in a world where the polar bears and the elephants and the tigers are all extinct, because we didn’t have the nuts to do what needed to be done. I mean, Lenin already told us what needs to be done, but every time we try to do that shit, well, see Fred Hampton… And so I’m just, I don’t know, maybe I’m the crazy one in Omelas.

I mean, we’re already at the point as a country where the murder of children is acceptable so long as those children meet certain qualifications, like, do they live in Gaza? Are they Muslim? Are they brown? If so, murder away. So we’re already at the place where human life has no intrinsic value.

What’s disturbing to me is I know this is only going to continue to get worse, and there is absolutely zero chance that things ever get better within my lifetime.

Every day, I go to the convenience store, and I get an energy drink, or maybe a pack of wraps if I got some weed. And you know what II see? every day, dozens of people. Sometimes they’ll be lined up, getting scratch-off tickets. You know what the odds on those scratch-off tickets are? Not very good. But they play anyway. So that should be our logic. The odds aren’t very good, but we gotta play anyway. Because you can’t fucking win if you don’t play.
