It’s going to take us at least a couple decades to get back on track. At that point I’ll be near retirement age. Yeah history progresses, but for me personally it’s over.

If they could read they would be very upset you said that

Silver lining I guess. But it was more to save the preservation of the Union, there were still slave states in the Union during the Civil War. And non-blacks still thought they were superior to blacks even if they didn’t believe in slavery, and that was the majority opinion long after the Civil war too.

Yup, progressive politics in the US has been an exception not the rule. After about ~30 years we are just going back to business as usual. People forget segregation and women not being able to have their own bank accounts and abortion being illegal (the first time), is not something from ancient history. And before that the country literally went to war over itself over the idea that they should be able to own other huma s as property

They all voted with their wallets. It’s really simple. That’s how these people are able to come into power.

I’ve been learning about the history of the Civil War. Progressive politics in America are the exception not the rule, hundreds of thousands of Americans died because they wanted to own other human beings as property.

I don’t even care anymore

What happens when a nation collectively acts like a narcissistic sociopath trying to gaslight the rest of the world.

Can’t wait for this shitstain to shuffle off their mortal coil

Wealth at that scale is a disease

should have

Exactly, these sociopath dipshits are skirting the law on technicalities but any reasonable person would agree they should be behind bars

Some portions are not easy to listen to

Based on some interviews there is nothing ethical about what this guy is doing. Based on one case I think he should be in jail

But he creates jobs! (that are extremely exploitative and past borderline abusive)

It’s easily one of my favorite movies, and I think the characters and themes of 2049 stay truer to the book than the original bladerunner even though the plot changed.
