In 2021 Canada had an election, and the candidate that I voted for didn't even close to win, a party that that candidate was a part of ended up doing surprisingly well in that election, and I strongly believe that in spite of not winning the election and had a strong impact on the politics of the nation moving forward. One of the big parties ended up with a much different candidate shortly after.
To be honest, I had my phase, and quickly realized that while some people do legitimately just need a hand up, some people will take unlimited help and remain exactly where they were.
"How could you have a convicted felon be a world leader?"
Goddamnit Clinton stop standing next to inconvenient people around cameras all the time!

I would also add that the other reason for people to desire equality is that they're doing well and feel guilt for their success while others are not successful.
Which isn't good -- you shouldn't remodel the universe because you have impostor syndrome.

I can understand that actually.
If you see your bosses busting their asses and basically giving their souls to the machine, it makes sense you wouldn't want a promotion, because why would you want to hand your soul over to the machine?
If on the other hand the work culture is such that even if you get a promotion you still get your evenings and weekends and holidays, then the additional responsibility during work hours doesn't sound so bad.
I know I see my bosses literally flying all around the world, and it's like "hey, maybe you could take my job someday when I retire?" hard no. I work to live, I don't live to work.

ngl, I'm a gamer, the last new AAA game I bought was cyberpunk 2077. Which means despite spending money on games, I haven't bought any new AAA games in going on 5 years.
As for movies, the only new movie I actually went out of my way to see was M3GAN, which I actually liked a lot as a sci fi horror that said real things about our current society, but that was a tiny $12M production that did gangbusters, not a tentpole production which I don't know who is seeing these movies...

There's also toothpaste that provides protection against stuff like that. I mean, you gotta eat sometime.
Not to mention, "Oh, the candidate you're gonna vote for probably isn't going to change anything anyway" maybe not, but at least you tried. You can say at least that much, even if you got it wrong. History is written by those who show up.
I'm surprised, I'd heard Venom 3 wasn't that good. On the other hand, I guess it isn't like there's anything any better right now...
People can't afford rent, they can't afford food, they can't afford transportation, but the Democrats only seem to think all women care about is killing babies.
Edit: this was supposed to be a reply to another post. Not sure how it ended up here.

Minetest with VoxeLibre (previously mineclone2) is a great FOSS alternative. One of the servers I run is a minetest server and it's really cool seeing what happens.
Part of the problem in the West is that the managerial class has us so thoroughly trained that we only look to them for meaningful challenges.
In reality, we are at a pivotal moment in the future of mankind: there is an inevitable global Mass depopulation event imminent, and those who take up the challenge are building the future of humanity right now: the managerial class is killing off all of its followers, and who will be left on this planet? Those who picked up that mantle, rejected the incentives of the managerial elites, and chose to have and raise children so they can go on to be successful in the empty World ahead of us.
Of course no one's going to tell you about that, they want you to die out.

Typical socialists, they don't want to create anything for themselves but they want to take everyone else's creations.
The late premodern period is somewhat faustian, we learned about the world to an extent never before paralleled, in return for our souls.
The modernist period was where the devil came to collect, and the postmodernist period is where we try to understand how to live without souls.
The next step logically must be a bargaining to get our souls back, and only by the grace of God can that happen. We won't be able to find our souls in lab measurements, we need to return to seeing ourselves as small pieces of an unfathomable universe which we have only a dim candle to see within.

Despite all the fanfare and the youtuber's name attached and all the marketing fireworks, it looks like a chocolate bar you'd pretend to be happy to get as a kid to be polite but it's like "Why didn't you get me a good one?"
