nothing, people have never been better than this. You are making yourself feel better without doing any work.
By complaining the world has gone to shit, you are implying you are seperate from this. You are implying you have, through some means, transcended this decline and are looking down at it, shaking your head.

You are not better than people because the walk with their phones out.

Go lift weights and make money. Be proud by making yourself great, not by convincing yourself the world sucks. It is what it is and there is no great decline.

People like you are the new bitter grandpas of our generation, who sit in brown wallpaper rooms with their fucking hifi, telling anyone who will listen about how much better shit used to be. Fuck the fuck off. If you want to sit in parks or read newspapers or drive standard transmission or whatever the fuck people like you do "because otherwise it's the death of society", be my guest, but don't act fucking condescending to those who text, gets their news from the internet, and drive automatic. We are not zombies, we are not killing civilization. And by the way, before you go and claim people are "dependent on technology", do me a favor and smash every lightbulb in your fucking house. God knows hypocrisy is bad.

there is like no solution to this because it's way too late to live without social media. and you can't start to forbid it now.

>>551636134

I was, kinda, but now I'm happy. Because, when faced with a coherent argument against your ideological position, you resort to stale memetic 4channery. You're worse than your original picture or anyone like it.

In my opinion, technology is conformed to the existing economic, cultural, and political institutions.

So, cell phones, although they have the potential to be a center of enlightenment, are used as sources to inculcate robotic vanity amongst the populace.

I think what is best is to first understand that whatever we as a mass society do, is morphed to maximize the profit of a select few people that have, throughout history, coercively monopolized the ownership of capital.

Cool.

I think the solution is to localize production so that we, the workers, finally have a say-so in the things that determine our wellbeing. Build local food gardens, water sources, learn to build shelter, beds, etc.

>>551636990
I think you have a good point about the time thingy. That's what makes us seem like zombies all around--the way we're just glued to it.

>>551636990

Is it lonely having no friends to chat with or news that impacts your life to check or any real hobbies or interests to check up on? Just sitting there on the bus, staring at graffiti?

because a newspaper doesnt update every 2 minutes.

you know what people did in those days when they walked from place to place? they fucking walked. they were literally less productive and less interactive with their environments than they are now

"Autism" is a buzzword meant to marginalize the authority of anyone that doesn't conform to existing norms and dominant narratives/perspectives.

It's meant to discredit any dangerously radical opinion.

Well, you're both kind of right. Things haven't changed, most people have always been zombies. It's just easier to see it now that we're all connected.

uh huh.

>>551637783

>>551637509
>we, the workers
Sounds kinda commie-ish to me. But, I do agree about the individual responsibility thingy. It's what our forebears did to build our nation, or so I'm told.

You're point about 'inculcate robotic vanity among the population' is, i think, the main point. We're like this because it's propping us up emotionally. Prolly won't be long till 'A Brave New World' is upon us.

>>551638078

The way it's used today, it is.

"Ooohhh you don't wanna go clubbing, you want to sit at home alone and play a videogame? Well you're a little autistic, ain't'cha?"

Autism is a serious, debilitating mental disorder. It is not a synonym for people who don't watch American Idol. That's why it's a buzzword. It has basically degenerated into a synonym for "not mainstream".

>>551632038
nothing's wrong. things are great. people are more beautiful than ever before. crime is down. more mouths are being fed. materials are lighter, easier to produce and ship. we have greater out put with less input from our agriculture than ever before. the average person is more informed about their world and can travel to any part of it easier than ever before. there's a part of us on mars. things are fantastic.

It's dangerously radical to even mention the exploitation of the lower classes, let alone solutions to them, which is also what I proposed.

So, you're just being sarcastic without considering the whole of the idea. Which mean you really have shit authority on what I'm proposing, which is changing the system in a radical way, without involving the government or capitalists or any of that shit.

why would i want to "radically change the system" if i benefit from it as it exists?

>>551638357

The working class definitely exists. They're are the ones who take orders from the owners of capital. Take any person that has to take an order from someone in order to live, or to live humanely, and they are pat of the working class.

My idea is to get rid of the boss system so that people can live in peace and cooperation with one another while producing what they need to whatever their desire is.

>forebearers, so I am told

Exactly, so you are told. But, in reality, "our forebears" were genocidal colonialists who created political systems that perpetuated their privilege, mainly under the power of the federal state the U.S., which they also created. I recommend you check out pic related.

I agree, though that we're moving closer towards a system where people are mainly controlled by petty pleasure rather than brute force.

Because it's fun, could get you women and friends, and could make you money, if it's strategic, which unfortunately it usually is.

It only gets dangerous when we build enough local power to be a a threat to the legitimacy of the state's services and their cronies, like local drug lords, pimps, hustlers, etc.

Then, we'll enter the militant phase, but only the real motherfuckers are going to be around, then.

Simple things to keep a safe distance from the herd. For example, I seldom read emails on my phone, I never use it to access my bank account and I have a monthly 200 MB limit that forces me to use my 3G only when necessary.

>>551632038
