i'm dead fucking serious, no one has any kind of original thought process or even the ability to synthesize the information they take in because no one is ever taught to be their own person and to create their own worldview. it's true of most people here, even. just regurgitate a bunch of sources or dismissively tell someone to read this author or that one or get all huffy and act like you aren't privy to some kind of knowledge that, of course, everyone else regards as old news. everyone everywhere is undeserving of life because you non-people don't even know how to basically live it.

what's the alternative? even if you have a thought that's original to you and your experience it's not like someone else hasn't already had it. it might be a personal failing but it might just be a consequence of livig on a planet with 6 billion people. goes without sayin but what you're saying here sure as fuck doesn't escape that

yo, let me explode your brain for a second.

you can have an original thought even if it's been thought before if you come up with it yourself, independently of the previous thinker. simultaneously using your human brain to come up with a truth is better because it's evidence that such a thing should be obvious to everyone (that communism is correct) but has been thwarted by external factors (the capitalist system we're all born into). i'm not holding people to some insane standard, just asking that they think for themselves once in a awhile. but we can't even do that, and we're making this planet unlivable for everyone, rather than just for the third world. we're too stupid to even save ourselves when the answer is right in front of us. good riddance

I'm stoked.

You know that really perverse and messed up excited feeling that tickles your proto-funny bones, the feeling of excitation you get when you watch something horrific and awful happen, like a giant pileup on the highway, or 9/11.

That's been this whole election to me.

it's clear that we're just spinning our wheels, without a mass political group we can only fight the battle at work, or at school, among friends,isolated. we objectify the sufferings of others, which is wrong, and seek to be the wittiest person in the room, which is wrong, with simultaneously the best "politics", which is a delusion.

History has shown that going all Endlösung on thread topics doesn't actually solve any problems.

don't forget about the self-righteous narcissism involved in thinking you're the only person in the room who isn't a Little Eichmann.
