I feel so out of place
Like I don’t belong here
There’s nothing to tether me here
If I knew it wouldn’t kill all of them and or start white people tourism I would go live in an uncontacted tribe of people
There is nothing that makes me want to stay here, besides the Earth herself
And she cannot sustain me
Because no one taught me how to sustain myself
They beat the wild out of all of us
With this society of theirs
Borders don’t exist
Race doesn’t exist
These are not things you can prove exist
Culture exists
Lineage certainly exists
Generational traumas of the dewilding of the general population so we are helpless but to continue fueling the fires of capitalism and greed until we choke on our own smoke
And when we start begging for air they sell it to us
New and Improved Air
Packaged straight to you for the low low cost of existing
Maybe “competing” air companies pop up
Sexualised ads of men sipping air surrounded by half naked women
“For the intake of it”
Or something saucy and poppy that I can’t come up with because I don’t specialise in the manipulation of people
While around them the fires get hotter
Demand more fuel
The ones making the money are sitting in their air purified mansions and they don’t care if they’ll destroy the world because at least they “got theirs”
People who believe only in exponential gain for themselves should be given the least of what the least greedy person wants
But exponential gain is all that people seem to believe in these days
So many things get too big and then pop
Bubbles, balloons, Stars, allegedly whatever started the Universe itself
And you don’t think maybe just maybe moderation is key?
I don’t know if planets pop if they get too big, but I’d bet they do
There’s always an upper limit
You could push it, but why?
Why when our planet as she is still has everything to sustain us for generations?
Giving a greedy man a currency
Humanity is If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in real time, long run, full codex completion with the added bonuses of racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism, ageism, and hatred just in general
Contempt for eachother
Because if we cared about the people beyond our scope of existence we wouldn’t be letting this happen
We wouldn’t shrug as not only our freedoms, our livelihoods, our families, were affected if we cared about everyone else too because we’d see the bigger picture
And sometimes I feel outraged that my place on this planet is decided by accepted fascisms
It’s all fascism
Law and the enforcement of it are fascism, people just have historically mostly agreed on the laws set forth
Our contempt is shown in how we lock people away for perceived misdeeds without ever considering who those laws served and why
Like sending drug users to jail.
Who are you protecting from what?
So many things in our existence need to be closely looked at and re-evaluated because
Imagine humanity is the first “intelligent” civilization in the Universe (don’t laugh too hard about the intelligence bit)
And we invented a massive blue torture chamber for ourselves
Less some couple thousand people
Out of billions
Are you not embarrassed?
And if there are other civilizations out there watching us who have better technology than we do
Are you not ashamed?
They toiled and broke their bodies every day so they could kick their young out of the house and force them to do it again while the rich prevented support from being distributed to the elderly people who could no longer work because they’d broken themselves just so they could force their offspring to do the same thing
Nevermind what you do to disabled people
And I’m the insane one
Meanwhile less than 1% of the population is partying
If you want to tell me that society’s goal was the exponential gain of less than a city of people
While the rest of the world toils
Humanity has very strange priorities and I cannot in good conscience be a part of them
It’s Omelas in reverse
And I couldn’t stand Omelas as it was
