I used to be a finance guy but I’m alright now.
Make compassion your fuel. Then leverage any privilege you have to plant the seeds of change in the minds you meet. Risk relationships. Get uncomfortable.

I was conservative when I thought human suffering was a fixable bug in the system.
I became a liberal when I learned it was a feature needing mitigation.
I am a socialist because I discovered that suffering is the fuel the system runs on.
Abandon greed. Embrace compassion, freedom and equality.

Other than this, life is good.
As I've said, we are all being subject to a civilization-wide nonconsensual human experiment in giant environment-destroying rape culture theft machine technology.
"They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."

I’ve worked the last 30 days straight, so I’m a little pissy.
But most people are blissfully unaware of what’s really going on in this world and it’s very disturbing.
People are more propagandized than I ever remember in my life.
I fear for us.

All you single issue voters who are so hung up on “human rights for all humans” are being petulant children, according to sources.
Help. Both my eyes just rolled out of my head. Could use a hand.
There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

Whiteness is just so weird
Lying is its main function
So funny anecdote about a foster family I was with...
They were German but changed their name to something polish after that whole ww2 thing
But the story thst stands out the most to me was the grandma.
So. She was born circa 1910

Unless the person you are meant to be is an asshole, in which case, fuck all the way off.
Change is hard, but nothing is more valuable than your soul - the person you discover you are meant to be, once true self-awareness kicks in.
If that person is dying, you’re risking your innate compassion, your humanity & everything that matters.
The fight to reclaim your soul is always worth it.
