There’s something endearing about a young person trying to look cool by being edgy, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone sees through their facade.
not really

you’re smart and correct, but i stand by my assertion that without immediate bold action, things are going to get bad and we are going to wish we had done SOMETHING when we could. we need more people like you committed to a by any means necessary approach. i’m only here to get people on board with the necessary steps. we need great minds to figure out how to implement it.
if we don’t act, we’re still headed right for those things. tell me how to save the world any other way.
i don’t have to have a post revolution plan because i’m not applying for the job of being the leader of this thing. you’re making a straw man out of me. i’m not the revolution. WE ARE THE REVOLUTION. it takes many minds to sort this out.
you don’t have to agree with me, but you really do need to have an alternative or this shit is going to get so ugly in your lifetime you’ll wish you had done something while you still could.
people are so desperate for an identity these days.
no, i just see big picture stuff instead of the trees in front of my face like most of you children. my conscience tells me that if i let the conservatives win, i am essentially dooming untold future generations. if you take the sheer number of people that will suffer because we were too kind to remove the broken members of society, it becomes obvious what is truly being conscientious. it’s a simple trolley problem, my guy. wake up.
thank you OP. ffs, open source. we get it. next.
or perhaps i’m surrounded by a bunch of children who don’t understand the gravity of the situation and are too cowardly to do anything about it anyway. of course they reject my ideas because they’re not comfortable ideas. most of you are coddled infants, so i don’t really expect much, but i’d like to connect with some people who have a spine and a conscience.
i’m really sitting at a computer desk trying to have a conversation in the real world. how does having a conversation with a smaller audience accomplish anything?
lol. surely you’re not serious. you realize that climate catastrophe is here NOW. we needed solutions 3 years ago.
we’ve had those for decade and they’ve done nothing. next.
at least we agree about one thing: time is slipping away.
i don’t claim to have any plans for post bloody revolution, other than the fact that existing ideas about how to mitigate the problem will become possible.
i’m honestly here to understand how we can make the changes we need in time to stop the coming dystopia without violence. make me see another way.
why does a trolley dilemma not represent real life? why is the problem not a simple thought exercise? genuinely, GFY.
of course they do. that’s my entire point. debate is useless. if you don’t start fighting for the society you want to live in, somebody else is, and you’re gonna be living in their ‘perfect world’. you need to decide which side you’re on.
what i’m bent out of shape over:
corporate overreach environmental destruction income inequality R&D focused towards maximum profits instead of altruistic solutions rise of fascism religious dogma restricting secular thinking focus on individual liberty over public welfare etc.
I fantasize about: eliminating enough voters to make democracy works towards humanitarian goals removing corporate influence over society making the sociopaths scared of the people
no. i’m not going to seek help. this is a simple trolley dilemma, and if you don’t understand that soon, you’re dooming billions.
stay on topic. i understand that you’re probably of the shorter attention span variety, but you asked a question and i answered it with an in-depth response. don’t disrespect me with petty remarks.
what a cop-out response to well thought out statement. you come off as vapid and shallow. i’m old enough to be over getting laid. i’m married, son and we’re both as happy as we can be. would you like to address my points now, junior?
not really. want to elaborate on your thinking here? i promise i can have a nuanced talk about it.
lol. who is morally justified? please explain.
the meat of it is concerned with property and ownership, which has little to do with the general welfare of sentient beings, so i think it was alright for the time, and totally outdated now.
