I bet it would feel quite good to torture and brutally murder the people responsible for the currently ongoing end of the world, but there’s literally nothing that can be done to them to will put things right again, so it’s purely revenge. A sadistic pleasure if you will.
violence “isn’t the answer” only because the system has been able to weather all the violence previously thrown at it. you can’t just kill one person and magically put things right (except for yourself, unless something worse awaits us beyond death. who is to say?)
it’s a network of people who are sometimes legally required to be replaced, the only thing they’d need to do is find someone else who is just as eager to make money without regard. power is a game already rigged in favor of power, the only way to win is to kill all of it and end the game
@fiore there is not an inch of this world that isn’t already tarnished. the only way to not play is, again, to commit suicide. that’s another reason it’s so pervasive—you can’t just not play it. going off-grid and all that is a fun little pretend game you can play but countries are unfortunately still a thing, reguse to play all you want but you’re still in the game.
@sierra isnt flipping the board and pointing a knife at your opponent also “not playing”
