The global economy is the reason I can't take civilization seriously, or even be on its side.

All I can do is appreciate the morbid gallows humor of it.

Billions of people self-flagellating on the false promises of a few thousand capitalist sociopath families. We were conquered by the modern contemporaries of the traveling snake oil salesmen of old. They've got most of the peasants so fucking snowed they don't even have to run away to the next county after they poison you anymore 🤣
