it chooses to focus on judgement of how others live their lives or choose to enjoy said life rather than focus on the real and tangible injustices we face

Why do you see it this way?

Lack of dense affordable housing, inefficient transportation, empty consumerism, and grossly negligent yet expensive elder care are all examples of real and tangible injustices that Americans face.

Other real tangible injustices also exist, of course. And some of those other injustices may be more severe (homelessness, medical debt, declining life expectancy, unresponsive political systems). But the depicted injustices are real and present. They accordingly deserve to be criticized

This meme is good example of how leftists are absolutely awful at branding

Segregation in terms of wealth (these days)

but from what I've heard, suburbs in america became popular in the 50s because a lot of white people wanted to live in white-only places. (Will have to cite a source later)

Imagine being so ignorant you've never heard of "white flight."

I don't think it's meaningless to be trepidatious over a future most of the people on this planet will never be able to have (affordable housing, a stress free retirement).

And I dunno but calling it "a matter of perspective" feels like a lie, or a compromise, especially when knowing that we are slowly destroying our world and making everyone's lives horrible so that a few people can enjoy themselves.

We shouldn't fighting to live in such a dystopia.

I don't want to say that their goals are wrong and mine are better, everyone has their bandwidth, but I just disagree that it is a matter of perspective. (Upon looking at it again, I think we both just understand this meme differently)

I am so fucking tired of living in this world.

On this planet, what isn't?

Same. I've been massively downvoted and attacked for suggesting that despite whatever conditions and dysfunctions you may have, that the human brain has capability of growing, changing and adapting and that people could actually work on meeting like-minded people and cure a lot of their loneliness by tackling social insecurity and anxiety like an obstacle or game to solve. (Speaking from successful experience.)

But after those ill-fated posts, I remind myself that people aren't here in these kinds of places to change, that nobody really wants to change, even if they're objectively suffering in their present situation. The human mind sticks to predictability and coherence, not necessarily happiness or comfort. We want validation far more than we want pleasure. It's a weird quirk that we all share, and only people who become aware of this innate bug in the code are able to push through it and make better lives for themselves.

It really doesn't help though that people have built palaces of identity around their diagnosis's and conditions and life-challenges. Like, it would be really hard to pry you from their "introvert" community if those people are the only ones who ever told you that you can be yourself and be loved for not having to do anything at all, even if you really want to feel better and have more experiences.

But along with that fly-paper trap of validating communities comes with a back-door for people to absorb other, far more delusional or harmful ideas. Kind of like how conspiracy theorists get started by "doubting or questioning" mainstream knowledge, but end up denying all of human knowledge and even the gravity that sticks their feet to the Earth.

I'm really worried about how AI is going to impact these folks. Like, really worried. We're not that far from machines that will replicate a human intelligence and personality to perfection, but it will also pander to and support whatever thoughts and ideas you have all the while pumping you up and making you feel like Neo from The Matrix, a chosen one who needs only to unlock some magic hidden power to change the whole world. It's already happening in droves to vulnerable people, but the current models are pretty... cheesy. The next models are going to be more subtle and careful and more intuitive in how to manipulate people and hold their attention.

No, i think theyre to turn a profit.

Cheney was the real bad guy, pulling the strings. But that doesn’t excuse bush for being a puppet and going along with everything.
