I am literally as maximally fucked over by billionaires as I can possibly be. The rich are richer than they ever have been, income disparity is at the greatest it has ever been in human history, misery, joblessness, hopelessness, childlessness, loneliness are at their absolute historical zeniths. living in berlin in 1946 was not as fucking depressing as it is being an american today. there is literally nothing we can do wrong in trying to fix it. there is no head that can roll, no institution to be destroyed, which does not stand a non-zero chance of improving the endless nightmare that is our daily lives. a nuclear detonation over washington d.c. would improve overall happiness in the US by 10 points overnight.
