  • I apologize for answering your question a question it is not a cop out I will tell you I don’t have an answer and will argue no one else does.

    Do you know what Russians need to do to get out from under the yolk of Putin? This is what is happening in America. Do you see Russia changing any time soon?

    It’s scary because what is happening can happen anywhere and trust me when I say as a Canadian we are not immune.

    So you’re right with your critique, but what’s currently being done is not the answer. We have real world evidence proving that.

    Edit - did forget an important thing. This is in Switzerland NOT America. I’m not saying it’s not happening in America I know it is, but a protest in Switzerland is not going to fix America. If that was the case 30+ million Canadians would have eagerly steered America from the current disaster they are in.


  • Hear me out.

    All these people are going to do jack shit when Trump does what every other dictator does and holds another rigged election in America.

    “See the election happened! I won!”

    And the media will be silent. And the people will scream from the fringes. And America will have finally fallen.

    Downvote all you want. I’ve seen enough to know for this to not happen things need to change now and that’s not happening.







  • Being an optimist it’s waves throughout humanity and this is merely the most recent one. We are better as a species though still not perfect. My gut tells me we will make it out of this but like many times before the old thinking will need to die.

    We are going to look back at the greed rampant today for the mental disease if truly is and address the underlying issue that makes people like Elon or Bezos not only exist but thrive. We will come to the realization that people like that are not normal and we will no longer idolize or encourage such destructive individualism.




  • The elephant in the room more people need to pay attention to that many of us who work in IT are painfully intimate with.

    Many IT people are hardcore libertarians who believe in some warped idea that they are where they are through their intelligence and hardwork while completely ignoring many of them come from backgrounds that afforded them the opportunities they are taking advantage of.

    100% many of them are sexist, racist and bigoted pieces of shit that hide it at work because they’re adept at masking the fact that a lot of them are borderline autistic at worst and neurodivergent at best.

    This is also why you see such a deep investment in idiocy like AI, Bitcoin and other paradigm shifts. They all have their heads up their asses and feel they’re better than everyone else.

    Couple all this with the demographic being primarily white males.

    Fuck talk to any woman who works in IT. It’s changing yes, but Jesus Christ it’s a cesspool in many ways.

  • I will argue this is not the problem. It’s that vaccines were too good in their effectiveness. A victim of their own success.

    The problem is not and has not been science. The problem is messaging.

    This is the same reason why anti-vax is so popular, you think that’s about science? It’s idiots like RFK Jr and Trump have the ear of people. It’s all messaging folks.

    A person is smart. People are dumb.
