How?????
Futurama s6e7 (or just 95) "The Late Philip J Fry".
Now get off my lawn.
I'll have to take a look
I wish I could skip 1000 years ahead. Either we fixed thing or humanity has died out. I win either way.
Or, it's the same, we're living and shit sucks.
True, but 1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more. Now we have some advantages. Even access to the internet is a good quality of life improvement compared to 1025 CE.
So maybe instead 1,000 years the inequality still exists, but technology has made things a little nice for the working class. It's all about perspective.
Or the climate crisis and subsequent environmental collapse lead to a Mad Max hellscape
I'm hoping it's like "The Year 2525"
What about the year one million and a half? Giraffes might treat us better.
Can I get everything I need from the bottom of a long glass tube?
Yes but everything is shot straight up your ass. Food, news and entertainment. Straight up the ass through a tube.
1 man, 1 food, news, and entertainment
man. tube. food. camera. TV.
Reminds me of the pilot episode. When Fry wakes up in 3000 and says 'everyone I know is dead... YES!!!'
Well, the 2020s so far seem to resemble the 1930s surprisingly closely. So if we haven't destroy us by then, chances are things won't be that different.
How do you recognize a slave? There is no need for chains to make people work against their will.
Whoever dreads monday morning doesn't have to be worried about slavery anymore.
But we live in the 21st century?
That is correct
Futurama came out in 1999
You only enslave yourself by learning to do absolutely nothing against what you see as oppressive.
I'm so enslaved! Waaahhh!
You really don't see what's happening around you?
Let me just make sure we're on the same page with a little maths problem: you have nine people and a Nazi eating dinner at the table together. How many Nazis are at the table?
That needs to be followed up with "Are you at that table?".
No need, the answer tells enough.
But this makes it direct and forced self reflection on their part.
With what you said 1. Someone doesn't have to be a good person, or be right, to coexist. Sitting at the same table as Pol Pot or Hitler isn't enabling them.
Unfortunately this is incorrect as far as these ideologies go. They're fundamentally incompatible with the principles of a free democratic society and so cannot be tolerated by anyone who claims to uphold the values of a free democratic society. If claim to uphold those values, and you're sitting at the table with those people: No you fucking don't. "Good person" and "correct" do not enter the equation at any point.
It sure is enabling my right to think you're enabling them. Unless you leave the table once you know who you're sitting with, I'm judging you. Hard.
What if you're sitting at the table with them, Nuremberg style?
Then you'd be on trial for crimes against humanity.
... i meant on the other side of the table?
Are you saying you're a nazi?
The correct answer is "Ten Nazis". We are clearly not on the same page - yours has a swastika on it.
Not everyone who believes in capitalism is a nazi. You aren't helping your cause by acting like this. Nobody should have to tell you this.
Capitalism has nothing to do with Nazism. If you find a capitalist throwing a sieg heil, they're a Nazi. If you find a Buddhist or a Marxist or a Christian or literally anyone working with people who throw sieg heils, they're a Nazi. If you (the general you, not you specifically) find yourself continuing to voice support for a president who didn't immediately get rid of Musk after he sieg heil'd on TV TWICE, you're a fuckin Nazi.
Nobody should have to tell you this.

Nice
This is how I, as a European, feel.
But I am certain that it must feel very different if you life in Afrika, China, one of the Koreas or, since recently, the US.
