The only mature and adult course of action is to sigh and resign yourself to getting fucked at every turn, as wise and responsible adults throughout history have done. Any action beyond innefectual snark is a childish tantrum. This axiom somehow does not apply to the actions of the already powerful and those doing the fucking on their behalf. That is simply the natural way of things. Do not ask how they became powerful in the first place.

This is the exact same shit they said about the Viet Minh while incinerating millions of civilians in Southeast Asia. Fascist propaganda never changes.

Meanwhile, Isreal hides behind it's entire population and uses the conflict it drafts them into as an excuse to commit genocide. Suck a tailpipe, genocide lover.

That's 2Password2Remember, they sign off every comment that way. It's surprisingly relevant a lot of the time, though: America has had an almost unrivaled hand in shaping the economic landscape of Japan, from the San Francisco Treaty to the Plaza Accords

I am hearing more and more stories like this that collectively add up to a very bleak picture of terminal institutional rot beneath a nanometer-thin facade

Also I live with one of those bootlickers and all their opinions are exactly as myopic, contrarian and self-aggrandizing as you would think

One time in middle school a kid who had been messing with me jumped me on the way out the gates at the end of the day. Neither of us was seriously hurt, but both of us were taken to the office and suspended. When I told them he had attacked me, they responded with "Yes but what did you do to de-escalate the situation?" And it's like, motherfucker my introduction to the situation was a foot in the back!

That was one of the first times even my parents, who I had struggled with as well, took my side against some school bullshit.

This also applies to international politics

Hell I'd say your double right, accidents are definitely influenced by the system that precipitates them. Redundant safety features, emergency protocol training, protective gear, preventative maintainance...under our current system, all of these things cost money, and since profit is the primary motive, they will be the first things to be slashed when say, the price of energy goes up and they decide to maintain profits by cutting overhead.

Half the episodes on Well There’s Your Problem are "this vital part was removed or left unmaintained for legal or financial reasons until it caused an explosive train derailment."
