They can't even be assed to make the masses gawk at their fortune. They lock it in an overpriced vault and wear all grey every day.

Obviously both and/or either

I'm trans with far fewer resources and I'm planning on duking it out here. I spent my meager savings and a good chunk of my mental health to move from a deep red state to California. I have practically nothing left and I'm out a support system since I had to leave most of my friends behind to get out. I feel kinda naked being unable to legitimately arm myself, but the only people I actually feel in danger from are police so its an improvement overall.

I've looked into moving abroad, but western influence is massive and they've been demonizing us for generations. There are trans people everywhere, but you'll have to get a lot more comfortable with risk. Personally, I can't really justify it. The most I could do is move to my mom's home country to try to make a stand with my family there, but my ties and responsibilities are in the Americas either way.

I am afraid, but I've run as far as I can. What's left is putting down roots and finding community. I can only afford to resist.

Nobody burned the library of Alexandria it probably died from neglect, but Europeans did burn ~every book ever produced in central america and extinguished hundreds of unique cultures and languages. Western culture is a dark age IMO. And I'm not saying dark ages don't exist elsewhere. Europe may be fanatically xenophobic, but they aren't entirely unique either. Just the most successful at spreading darkness.

rapidly losing access to the biome that supports the enormous increase in humans that gave us the brain power to innovate our way out of the last dark age.

the last dark age only happened in europe. most of the world was actually thriving at this time. sad it didn't last a little longer actually. would have been really interesting to see a globalized world where europe is left out until late in the game. i would suggest that western culture causes dark ages, that's what we've been living for the last 500 years or so. almost everything has been erased. for a lot of us, the collapse of empire is a light at the end of the tunnel. it'll be horrible, for certain, and was completely avoidable, but you know white people. crawl out to the fallout baby, when they drop that bomb

I'm not about to train myself to feel good about other people suffering, even evil people. I'd rather figure out how to make them irrelevant and dismantle the systems that produce them. We live in a world molded by trauma, inflicting trauma on abusers doesn't change them, its just more of the same old thing.

I don't feel bad, I just don't see the point in celebrating misfortune.

idk how productive I'm going to be atm, but I'd be down

I don't feel great about laughing at the misfortune of others, but its pretty ironic that this family preferred to throw their own children into the literal gutter rather than surrender their property and privilege to the people.

that's what we call "t h e F e d i v e r s e" though it could be cool to build something more specific

dot org even smh

If you change everything about a system, is it the same system? even if it has the same name? can you imagine reforming the CIA, like what would a communist CIA even be?

in spanish, you pronounce every letter. la-teen-eh, for the anglophones.
