    Reddit refugee. After Spez spazzed out, and I couldn’t use Sync anymore, I was gone.

    As for this second? Same reason everyone is here. On a break looking at a phone.

    EDIT

    Also, my first post! Also, fuck /u/spez

    I’m shy but I still have the human desire for social interaction. Written communication with anonymous strangers strikes a good balance between avoiding shyness triggers and fulfilling that desire to be social.

    (Shy probably isn’t the right word. I have no problem giving a formal presentation to a room full of my coworkers, but I won’t initiate an informal conversation with a coworker in the break room.)

      Because we are just a bunch of weird strangers that have limited time of existence so we feel free to share our genuine opinions about the absurdity of life, while maintaining anonynimity hidden behind a username.

    To help people realize that neoliberal capitalism is causing climate change and must be replaced with a planned economy to lessen the impact when society inevitably collapses.

      Were prehistoric animals neoliberal capitalists? Because a lot of them died due to climate change.

      One thing that hasn’t changed from Reddit is the naive politics of all sides. Depressing.

        Your comment proves your thesis. This isn’t political, it is scientific. The science is settled with empirical evidence. To think otherwise is naive.

          Yes, but what does that have to do with the tedious “everything bad that happens is capitalism” trope?

          There’s not much that’s scientific about that.

            It is the dominant political economy in the world at this time. It’s connected to climate change through overconsumption caused by the need for financial growth. I encourage you not to take some randos opinion, and look into it yourself. Good luck.

      Everyone here has already reached that conclusion or they’d be on corporate social media. You must be doing a bang up job! Thank you for your service

        This allows me to vent about our situation. I prefer humor to doomerism. I’m actually quite optimistic about the future. We have the opportunity to evolve our interpersonal relationships and develop a world based on sharing and not selfishness. I’m confident we will succeed. The dystopian vision that is displayed in media is designed to make us hopeless and maintain the status quo.
