I think it's really more of the case that people feel no kinship, we've been programmed since birth and since basically centuries to only see ourselves as islands, working only for ourselves and to "get ours", believing the lie that if only everyone fends for themselves then everybody will benefit in the end... Somehow.
Nothing can or will change as long as we are shackled by capitalist rule.
Not the first totalitarian government people have felt like that about...
They develop IC on iPhones?!!

Half the passengers want to do just that and install a captain who is hell-bent on chasing a white whale and wants to institute forced cannibalism for anyone on board with navigational skills

Joke's on you, they were already depressed!
Current state of the world: "Should we build another boat, or should we take the train instead?"
This guy plugs holes.
This is how you combat bullshit like a pro- "don't answer the question you get, answer the question you wish you had gotten".
"Look, in a democracy we also have to give a platform to the people who want to abolish it"
According to a tweet from Flightradar24, approximately one hour into the flight, the aircraft was in cruise flight at 29,100 feet when it abruptly lost altitude, entering a steep descent. The aircraft appeared to recover briefly at approximately 8,000 feet, then it reentered dive.
Some sources claim the sudden nose-dive was intentional because of manual crew input, but to me it sounds like the crew reacted to something extremely strange happening and tried to correct it ("let's click the AUTO button and get some rest. Oh shit."), especially since the aircraft "appeared to recover briefly at approx. 8,000 feet". Sounds a lot like all the other Boeing 737-x crashes where the pilots were surprised by the sudden nosedive, wrestled manual control back, only for the systems to kick in again into a dive.
I post this not as news, but as a point of interest for me personally.
Too tasty?

Got this from (allegedly) Twitter
So right off the bat I can tell for sure that it ain't me trying to log on to that shite, but it doesn't leave me much choice either now does it?
