    You’re right, there’s nothing that you can do but give in to the ghouls and take our allotted job, then spend our free time bitterly slinging shit at people who don’t follow in our rut.

    There’s no change possible and anyone who pretends otherwise should be boo’d out of the conversation so we can all return to our miserable lives supporting the corporate boot with our collective necks.

    How silly of me for aspiring to more. Thank you, wise young adult, for sharing the wisdom of your many hours looking at an-cap memes. I shall return to my spatula and mop, lest I upset the rest of the cattle.

      Aspiring to more? Motherfucker, how do expect to do that waxing poetic about ruts and calling everyone who doesn’t buy your im14andthisisdeep rhetoric cattle? Young adult, indeed.

      Here’s a hint: a stack of certifications is going is going to do you more good than some ego-trip pipe dream about single-handedly bucking the system. Save that Crimethinc reality-dodging bullshit for the rest of the trustsfarian lifestylists.

      BTW, I’m a libertarian socialist and a member of the DSA and IWW. Ancaps can kiss my dick.

            Wow, Whateley, your response is a real gem. It’s almost impressive how you manage to dismiss genuine frustration with a wave of condescension. You talk about aspiring to more, yet you seem perfectly content to belittle anyone who dares to express dissatisfaction with the status quo.

            Sure, let’s all just line up for our certifications and play the game, right? Because that’s clearly the only way to navigate this late-stage capitalist nightmare. Your approach reeks of complacency, and it’s disappointing to see someone who claims to be part of a progressive movement resort to such tired arguments.

            You might want to take a moment to reflect on what it means to truly engage with the issues at hand instead of throwing around insults like confetti. It’s not about being “im14andthisisdeep”; it’s about recognizing that many people are struggling and looking for ways to articulate their pain and aspirations.

            So, while you’re busy polishing your stack of certifications, maybe consider that there’s more to life than just playing by the rules set by a system that’s failing so many. Let’s aim for a conversation that’s more about solidarity and less about tearing each other down. Grow up? Maybe you should try it first.

              K.

              I don’t take advice from people who need to be home before the street lights turn on.

                    👍

                    Whateley, your constant parade of condescension and self-importance isn’t just laughable—it’s a disservice to any real dialogue about real issues. Every time you dismiss valid frustration with your smug claims of intellectual superiority, you reinforce a tired, elitist mindset that’s utterly out of touch with the struggles most people face.

                    Instead of taking the high road, you choose to belittle anyone who dares point out the cracks in a system you conveniently ignore. Your rhetoric isn’t an act of mature debate; it’s a display of insecurity, a desperate effort to elevate yourself above others while failing to recognize your own shortcomings.

                    So here it is, plain and simple: Stop hiding behind your certifications and pompous catchphrases. Grow up by engaging with the issues instead of perpetuating an attitude that’s as juvenile as it is self-serving. If you can’t see the harm in your approach, maybe it’s time for a reality check—a step away from the intellectual posturing and a move toward genuine, inclusive dialogue.
