“We should content ourselves with being poorer than our parents were”.
Fuck no.
- marssaxman 4y agoYour bravado is charming, but since when is it up to you?
- philwelch 4y agoI always get to choose whether or not to be content.
- marssaxman 4y agoI suppose that makes sense. I must admit that there are aspects of the world I live in which I refuse to feel content about, even though there is nothing I can do about them.
- momojo 4y agoWhat about "We should be content with not being as wealthy as our parents"?
- philwelch 4y agoThat’s just a rephrasing of what I said to make it sound less bad. Also, fuck no.
- potta_coffee 4y agoOur parents and grandparents borrowed from the future in order to attain that wealth. Now we have to suck it up.
- philwelch 4y agoFalse.
- InvertedRhodium 4y ago"We should ignore reality" Fuck no.
- philwelch 4y agoIf you really think that’s what reality is, I feel sorry for you.
- antifa 4y agoIt would be more palatable if it were an objective economic reality we all had to accept, but right now it's marching orders from the wealthy neoliberals holding year after year record profits.
- Amarok 4y agoI was thinking the same thing. The only solution I can see to demographic colapse is far from palatable: Euthanasia, or more specifically ritual senicide. Ättestupa as the Vikings called it.
