You're expected to keep your head in the sand, work for a fraction of the value of your labor until you die, too late for you to realize your life has been stolen.

People who want to know what the fuck is happening around them have to read the news and learn about the world in order to do that.

And when you buy a scooter from Craigslist and it blows your legs off you can bet your ass SCOTUS will protect the manufacturers of the RDM battery bombs.

Whenever corporations whine about theft or right wing politicians overinflate the prevalence of petty crime for elections I really couldn't give a shit.

Because in reality, wage theft accounts for more money stolen than all other forms of theft combined. And that money is being stolen from actual workers instead of soulless corporations.

People are also more poor in general.

Wages have been stagnating for over 50 years.

Independence requires financial independence.

It's not possible to meaningfully participate in society without disposable income.

This leads to the avg person having less power and influence than almost any of their ancestors.

Hydrogen is what the rich are trying to pivot to now that they realize they can't run a fuel racket if we swap to EVs

Want to describe how petty lords with no accountability controlling society is somehow a good thing?

How much time do you willingly spend in public interacting with others?

There was a lot more of it happening before society required everyone to have personal transportation.

I'm an introvert so I am at home, work, or errands. I probably would talk to a lot more strangers if I had to use public transport and it wasn't so expensive to do anything fun in public.

Generally if there is a massive trend in society then only systemic changes will change that trend.

Sure it would be nice if every incel worked out, microdosed mushrooms and became more selfless people, but that's not something that will happen.

One thing that would fix a lot of this would be the government better regulating dating apps, since that's how the vast majority of people meet their partners now.
