Life definitely is ugly though.
Think of all the animals being eaten alive, of all the animals not quite dead yet in mad terrible pain
mother nature is a sick monster
People are exhausted from work and that’s what causes them to perceive everything in an ugly light. Because it turns out, when you’re not doing well (mentally, emotionally), that skews your perception so everything looks a bit more ugly to you.
I am doing extremely well yet everything looks like an ugly light is shining on it. Because the suffering of other people matters to me and ruins my day. Fuck capitalism.
Society is a fully human construct and humans can change it anytime they want. We can create our reality, it doesn’t have to be like this for our children or theirs
We’d have to agree on the cause of the problem and what those problems are but on of the problem is the people who like things the way they are, the people who benefit the most from the status quo, are sowing confusion about those things are.
You can see it when opposite participant in the leftright framework agree on what the problem is be have nearly completely opposed causal explanation and solutions to that problem.
We can tell the billionaire and the mainstream establishment are ducking us, manipulating us, constantly brainhacking us with advertising and addiction grooming us, that they’re buying the politics and the politicians are and aspire to be billionaires as well and have aligned their interested with the rich and powerful against us.
The problem I think IS concentration of information and social power in all its forms, whoever gets the upperhand over all of us should be getting the most scrutiny and not given the space to hide and manipulate us. Power should come with a dispelling of privacy maybe ?
That’s still not even close …
who controls social media, controls the narrative and that makes a big difference. that is why we need community-owned, anarchistic social media alternatives (the fediverse).
May I ask the significance of that symbol? It is lovely and fun to stare at.
That is an informative link. Do you talk to people this way at parties, though? cuz….
I’m a blast at parties and have many friends because of my secret socialising weapon:
Ok, I have to back the truck up.
I tie-dyed a t-shirt at an employee ‘appreciation’ event last week in the colora of the flag of Rwanda.
It was fun.
But but… Money, and land, and power and that person is different to what I’m used to and makes me uncomfortable, where’s my favourite throwing rock?
Pigeons only unclean because they have to stand on our garbage
Pigeons only unclean
Birds are the filthy, degenerate hillbilly cousins of dinosaurs that are constantly covered in shit, dirt, blood and disease. Some are less dirty than others, and human garbage introduces new types of filth and disease, but their natural state (like most animals) is disgusting.
IMO, many humans are only marginally cleaner than birds. Some definitely have about pigeon-level self-awareness when it comes to the state of their personal hygiene.

Nature is pretty brutal too tho
Not if you’re on the top of the food chain or have opposable thumbs (check mate cats)
You don’t explore morbid medical content enough.
There is no top of the food chain, it’s a big circle, and bacteria and fungus are coming for dat ass.
Good luck staying on top of the food chain when you’re old or injured.
Cats are a bad example, as they’re probably the species that’s had the most success because they chose to attach themselves to humans. Dogs didn’t choose, we took them in.
Dogs didn’t choose, we took them
Ancestor wolves:
Yeah, life is super fucking ugly. We just have the ability to create beauty out of it (but usually choose to wallow in shit instead).
That is one huge ass pigeon

Or a tiny bench
Terrifyingly large, I’d say.
This shitpost feels like a hug. Thanks fren, real art
Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt.
Let’s say we lived in an ideal global society. No inequality, no hatred, no pedo-governments, no war.
- We would still be immersed 24/7 in a corrosive gas that slowly kills us with each breath we take.
- Our bodies would still require constant maintenance trough regular and painful excercise.
- Our bodies would still be ravaged by disease: The cold. The flu. Tooth decay. Anxiety/Depression. Corona. Aging. Cancer. Death.
- Billions of Pigs would still be tortured every day so this ideal society does not have to waiver anything.
- We would still work 9-5 doing necessary but boring stuff like cleaning toilets, assembling devices, maintaining machines, disposing of waste, spraying the fields. Because all those modern ameneties require much more work to produce than happiness they generate.
- We would stilk fear the day when this ideal society collapses, even when this society was actually eternal. Because brains are designed to worry.
- There would still be plenty of disabled people. Physical and mental. They would not be equal, even in an ideal society. Millions of those would be in constant pain, with no cure in sight.
Life is only beautiful to masochists and or sadists.
In an ideal society,
- We would actively try to clean our environment and aggressively implement renewable energy sources in every aspect.
- If you want to live long, you need to keep your body fit. Exercise is the cheapest amount of effort you need to keep it healthy.
- Yes, there would still be many incurable diseases but society would be doing the best to find a cure.
- Torture isn’t required to run a pig farm. It happens in a society where profit is the utmost priority instead of rearing and quality. Or maybe developing something like cloning only meat instead of a full organism.
- An ideal society would implement something like universal basic income or something similar so that everyone can do whatever they like instead of menial labour. Menial labour can be assigned to autonomous systems or robots.
- Nothing lasts forever. You can’t do anything about entropy. You can worry for the inevitable demise or live in the moment.
- An ideal society would not discriminate anyone on the basis of disability or anyone’s misfortunes. There would be extensive therapies, rehabilitations, redresses and in worst case, voluntary euthanasia.
An ideal society would do everything in their power to make it an ideal utopia, so why limit it to some pessimistic depiction even in your imagination.
Life is whatever you perceive it to be. You may have a shitty hand, but it still is yours to play however you want.
- True.
- Does not make it painless.
- Would not help those with those diseases that are (for now) incurable.
- If you put a pig in a small pen, prevent it from moving, and slaughter it in the ‘ideal’ moment, the meat will be cheap. If you allow it to walk on grass, it will burn loads of calories and therefore be much more expensive. If you wait until it dies of old age rather than killing it before it becomes a teenager, the meat will be unaffordable in a society where everyone is equal (for not 3 billion live from a few dollars per day). Lab meat is Sci-fi. If we allow Sci-Fi, we can also allow uploaded conciousness, eliminating all biological suffering, but that’s a ideal Sci-fi scenario that no one living today will see.
- If nobody cleans the toilets and the sewers, it will become nasty rather quickly. If you pay those that do the dirty work more, you create inequality and envy. Robots are Sci-fi.
- The human brain has a agenda of it’s own.
- There would still be an insane level of suffering required until someone abandons all hope and chooses voluntary euthanasia.
Life is not subjective because suffering is not subjective. If you really believe that life is what you perceive it to be, prove it to yourself by sleeping on a nail-bed starting tomorrow.
They hated him because he spoke the truth.
And its because life is already hard enough that we dont need the system shitting on us too.
Life is a system of cells eating cells until they get bigger so they can eat even more cells: Life is ugly.
we can still have it all if we wanted to.
