Living a lie

We are all. Human hubris tells us we know a lot but we don’t. We sell things for facts that we cannot even know to be true. It’s interesting how we have this narrative that communism has never worked. In 100 years we are gonna say the same thing about capitalism. Capitalism “works” because it incorporates a social hierarchy that puts the people at the bottom of the hierarchy at the expense of the people on the top. People in capitalism have nothing to lose and everything to gain. People in communism have everything to lose and nothing to gain. It is simple, really. We tell ourselves that if everyone does what is best for themselves, this affects society positively. This makes absolutely no sense. Interests of individuals conflict so much with interests of society. I don’t know why this is hard to understand. Ah well, maybe it is because we are indoctrinated? Nah, we would never, only China and North Korea indoctrinate their people, we don’t do that, we are the good side :)

The modern class war

Outsourcing was the weapon that decided the last battle. Outsourcing misery is one of capitalism’s biggest tragedies. Out of sight, out of mind. If you distribute the hierarchy amongst the globe it is easy to keep it because even though global mobility is at an all time high, distance and location are big factors. In much of the Western world we have managed to create a consumerist middle and lower class. Everything they do is controlled by the fear of losing what they have. We have lost the opportunity of a classless society. We can do nothing but sit back and watch capitalism eat itself up in the hopes that after its rampage is over, we can build something better out of what will be left.

The present will be the past soon

Why don’t we understand that this is not wit’s end. We are part of history. Things will change. The world, as is, will not be like this in 50 or 100 years. Strive towards utopia, not dystopia. It’s not that hard to understand. Everyone knows what is happening but everyone looks away. We all know about 1984. I watch black mirror episodes nowadays and it bores me because it is too close to reality.

Fuck all of you

You’re all part of the problem. So am I. But this is my blog so I get to decide who to insult.
