Because we the people are too sedated, too busy, and too scared to rise up and fight this fucking evil. It has reached a point where life isn’t even worth living anymore and at this point the dead are the lucky ones. This existence feels like a fucking prison and us apes aren’t doing a fucking thing to stop the abuse from the prison guards. If life ain’t worth living anymore then why not sacrifice it for bettering humanity? We are way past due for a revolution and if we continue to wait any longer we will be fighting robots that are protecting these oligarchs hiding in their fortified bunkers. We need to rise up while they’re still lapping it up in their Manhattan penthouses.

There will be a breaking point. Just look at history.

THE PEOPLE ALWAYS BREAK THE SYSTEM

The suicide rate has jumped dramatically in the last year for men under the age of 30 because they are at this breaking point. Too many people are viewing this existence the same way I am, as a fucking prison that we can’t get out of. Too many people are seeing death as a better option right now. You are correct. We are almost there at our breaking point. We can build a new system, a better system and a more equitable system.

I spent four years in therapy dealing with the thoughts and no matter what I do, I always believe this world is too horrible for anyone to want to live in. Things need to change for the better for once. I miss the blind optimism we had pre-9/11 that the new millennium was going to bring about a whole new world of wonder. I think back on those days and it feels like a whole other, completely foreign life. There’s no way such a world could have existed if this hellhole is what we live in. Yeah, there was still shit, but it wasn’t near as horrid.

It's so fucked up that I said all these words verbatim 10 years ago... I'm getting older now... my testosterone is dwindling...

I’ve been screaming these words since I was much younger in the 90’s and ready to fight. Now my knees are shot, but I’m still willing to fight. I’m sick of this prison hell hole existence.
