This reminds me of Derrick Jensen’s 20 premises in his book entitled: Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization.

The premises are here.

LMAO!

And a damn good meme!

LOL

Citizens United v. FEC has joined the chat.

The corruption and income inequality, in this country, disgusts me.

Thank you for being an active (i.e. moderator) part of the Beehaw project. It means a lot to me considering what you are going through.

When I was going through the toughest part of my life (I’ll spare everyone the details), a friend of mine said to me: “This too shall pass”. At the time, I felt like their statement was trite and dismissive.

Once I made it out into the other side of that shit, I realized that this was one of the best things that was said to me.

What you are going through is temporary. You will overcome this. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Diablo IV season 3

HAHAHA! Yeah! I remember that awful noise!

They accept the modern ultra-cluttered short attention span theater moneygrab marketplace as ‘the norm’

So true!

The good ol’ days

Diablo IV Season III

…that multiple people agreed with here…

The admin/mod team here make the final decision as to what is nice or not. Do you have a genuine grievance?

Is UBI = Universal Basic Income?

Yeah…I believe a revolution could, easily, break out in America.

…I don’t see that happening before revolt does.

This has come to my mind many times. I have this gut feeling that a large portion of our population will just come to the end of their rope with nothing to lose. I believe that a massive civilian uprising could begin to dismantle civilization as we know it. It could get ugly here.

About five years ago, I tried to make my way through One Pixel Wealth. It was so disheartening that it took me several months to get to the end. My mind and emotions were so taxed by the experience.

I believe that J.R.R. Tolkien warned us, through his books, about ‘diseased dragons laying on mountains of gold’. The, roughly, 400 Americans (representing the ‘1%’) aren’t human.

I don’t know where America is headed, but this country I live in is in despair and need of great reform.

late-stage capitalism

I haven’t heard about this. Would you mind explaining?

BTW, my brother lives in Portland Oregon. I was able to visit him last year and was impressed by downtown and the shore.

…behave want too nice away from Lemmy?

^^^ Brand new sentence!

We are discussing moving Beehaw off of the Lemmy platform, yes.

Is it possible to have some communities be exclusive to Beehaw users?

I’m, fairly, certain the answer is no.

In response to your second paragraph, we are better than holding our heads above water. We have been planning/discussing solutions for months…we will come up with a way out of this predicament…it’s only temporary.
