So sick of Americans empty-analysis and ignorance of externalities their society puts on others; overseas colleagues see it as white Taliban. They don't see people in streets over tariffs screwing up their lives, so they've started to tell their politicians Americans (as in the public) are not reliable actors. They don't realize it, but the American publics own credibility is shot, not just their politicians.
I have taken to cutting off friends and family and shit talking anyone in public that wants to socialize; do the politic work to put me on the hook for their healthcare, otherwise I refuse to bother with their existence. Withdrawing from people's lives is a forcing function for self reflection.
You all keep me off the hook caring you exist. I just have to help make line go up. Anything to do with you all as individuals is not my responsibility. That's the choice of the American people. I'm here to profit, not give a fuck you exist.
That's what my fellow Americans taught me through their feckless political effort. Illusory idea some invisible hand gives a shit based upon the gibberish from history they read by people who were wanking their literacy rather than inventing indoor plumbing.
Seems typical for humans; centuries of false belief religion was accurate, now contemporary nation state politics, economics, and the engineered things they sell for profit.
So long as enough stuff is available on shelves to keep people sedate, they'll believe whatever. Our biology couples us to knowing when we need food, water; keep those normal and no one cares about anything else. Riots only occur when biology is threatened. Everything else about humanity is 100% made up false belief, appeals to empty trust in what we say.
Physics makes it pretty clear its all just skins suits pulling illusions out their ass all the way down. We can never change the immutable forces of physics, there's too much other stuff in universe rushing in to correct. This is it for humans; idle about on Earth hallucinating.
