  • They're the cult that venerates the rich and famous in a dystopia where money is power. Of course they're powerful. Especially because some of the narcissistic fucks who they venerate have joined up and tithe to the vile organization.

  • Modern headlights are blinding to anyone not in the vehicle using them. Oncoming headlights if you're in anything shorter than whatever is producing them makes it near-impossible to see the road.

  • Yeah. My grandmother sent my father to a Catholic school in part for the cult indoctrination... at least she has enough sense to be appalled about that specific school being one of the Catholic facilities involved in their child rape scandals at the time he was attending.

  • In the American Dystopia factual things are upsetting to some people on the basis of conflicting with their preferred fictions. They are, unfortunately, numerous enough that the sane people here don't always have the time or energy to argue with those who actively refuse to see reason.

  • The owner class don't create jobs. Work needs to be done regardless of their profitability, however their present control over the means to do it limits the work available to only what is most profitable for them and in as few jobs as possible for that profitable work.

  • Well, that and that those same SoBs can leverage their profits to induce scarcity where there isn't naturally to further their profitability.

  • Truly disgusting. The culture of genocide, slavery, and colonialism with only the thinnest veneer of decency haphazardly draped over it and people who could see through the big lie about it become entangled in its trappings for fucking what?

  • No chance Louis XVI would have given the people of France a decent standard of living either. Things change when enough people can no longer tolerate how they are or how they are going.

  • Just need room temp super magnets so that the cars can "float" at a particular level of the magnetosphere. Don't worry Mlon Eusk is about five minutes away from personally cracking that physics problem and will be selling cars utilizing it for generational debt tomorrow./s

  • I'd be more surprised if you told me it wasn't. At this point, living in the American Dystopia, I expect anything obtainable to a Proletarian to be at least partially artificial and likely carcinogenic.

  • And dramatically reducing crash survival rates.

  • Ah, yes another example of the exceptional moral fiber of the religious. The higher standard that the religious hold themselves and their leaders to that makes all of us atheists look bad...

    Oh wait that's never the case. They use their vile faith as a shield from the consequences of their own abhorrent actions. Seriously, can someone differentiate faith and infectious disease for me?

  • How the hell does anyone reach adulthood and not know their sun sign?!

    By simply never caring about this particular superstition when religious and that not changing when abandoning superstition entirely. I don't care to know what my sign is. It'd be a five second google search but it's not worth five seconds to me.

  • I've yet to find any such thing and those that have been presented to me tend to be in the 'we have insufficient information' category for why it can't be clearly determined what happened. People love to wedge the supernatural into those crevices in spite of still not being a good fit.

  • Seconding custard_swallower. Strict naturalism. I see no reason to believe in any supernatural claim of any kind.

    Relatively recently I had a new hypothesis for some of the feelings people attribute to hauntings; bad vibes. I know someone who smokes indoors in their home. Before I had purged supernatural beliefs of all kinds from my worldview I thought there was some kind of curse or haunting wrong with the place. No, it's the ill effects of third-hand smoke.

    Belief in non-theistic supernatural phenomena appears to be a crutch for theistic supernatural belief; it gives a convenient explanation for something so that you don't exercise your rational faculties to find the real reason and then have the kind of experience that can contribute to unraveling god-beliefs.

  • Supernatural phenomina could mean that psychics aren't shysters, that some magicians are defying physics, or ghosts are real. Doesn't necessarily have to mean there's a god somewhere. I don't believe in any of those things but that's how I read this question.

  • They're very consistent about this. It's logically impossible for them to care less about the plight of the people. They've likely never cared to begin with or had conditioning over time to cease caring. No, their only concern is the continued profitability of their donors. No matter how many people that kills.

    E-cigs and legal weed could be competitors to legal cigarettes. You know the abhorrent fucking things so bad they've "banned" them from advertising but would you look at that, they're allowed to air PSAs about how bad they are... and make them so "incompetently" that they serve as advertisements for their vile product.

    They never have and never will care about us. So, why the fuck do we tolerate them?

  • These people weather intentionally or not are just advocates for Human suffering. The more this goes on and the more blatant it becomes the less inclined I am to believe that they're useful idiots, rather that they are willing accomplices.

    On so many levels everything about our society needs to be burnt out. No one should tolerate our openly sadistic society.

  • Yeah,

    I've taken to saying that we don't live in a great country, nor a good one, or even an acceptable one. No, what we have is one that should be put out of our collective misery.
