Elon Musk is doing his best.
After people realize they are continuously enabling the rich and those in power that are holding the pockets of the rich. But before that can happen, people need to stop fighting over bullshit like Target selling rainbow stuff. We as people only truly care about problems when they impact our own way of life. And that’s why we’ll burn with the planet. Nothing has changed and nothing ever will
Many of us have seen it this way for a long time. I think awareness is growing now everywhere, but the USA is at a disadvantage because its people have to overcome many decades of being told that rich people are the most successful and valuable in every sense. The equation of wealth and success has been a core piece of America’s self-propaganda.
Always have, glad to see you’re catching up.
People are disconnected from their own thoughts and feelings, reject them entirely, with zero empathy. “Life’s easier that way”. There is something very fundamental missing. I couldn’t imagine living with zero empathy or insight or emotions, or awareness of my emotions. Those are the things that make life worth living ime. Appreciate suffering for the experience, but don’t let it stand, get to the point and keep pushing. Evolution is a slow process, and I think we are a bit behind the times we’ve created for ourselves.
That’s a big part of what makes me feel so utterly disconnected these days. This utter and complete, not just indifference, but active disdain for empathy and insight in every fucking matter possible. Freedom dies when I’m not allowed to make somebody’s life worse for fun and/or profit. Also, anyone who considers another’s needs is an emotional snowflake but they’ve allowed themselves to be taught that rage, anger, and hate aren’t emotions? Way more “snowflake” IMO.
