      The entire system is becoming more fucked over time and the only way things will get better is when people get pissed off enough to actually fix the problems.

          Remember being a naive teenager before you realized accelerationism fucks over and potentially kills millions of people? I remember

            Hey now, all those people look like they are having a wonderful time in paintings of The Terror after the French Revolution. Truly, that was a people looking to get a head.

              Fascism destroys countries for generations, and you’re just the right age to be drafted for a senseless war cooked up to rally everyone around the dictator.

              I understand this. Just try to maintain perspective while being lambasted and inundated with all the terrible headlines:

              It has always been this way.

              We have progressed through our own adversarial nature and will continue to do so. The older, wiser of us know that. Everyone has their connections turned up to 11 right now just because of how easy it is for outside news to reach us.

              The world and everything is not as crazy as the news and internet would make you believe.

    That was 2016.

    And 2020 is the answer for the other “unpopular opinion” of let-the-people-decide-at-the-polls.

    Actual unpopular opinions get downvoted on Unpopular Opinion. The upvote/downvote system is the only way to actually gauge it. 🤡
