  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

systemic issues that have no end in sight

Some would disagree, just ask scientists how long the current trajectory can remain.

It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 2 points 6 hours ago

Yes, because science can be used to show measurable ways the world is actively ending right now.

It's more that capitalism is causing "the end of the world". Between now and the total deaths of all life on earth, I remain hopeful that there will be some positive systematic change before it gets too far.

My moneys on us getting revenge during the death rattle.

The US is normal is now as old as ((the average lifespan of a civilization))

We can hope, and make our moves for something better

That was probably true about the divine right of kings, hundreds of years ago. Things change

It changed because private citizens were able to join together and accumulate enough wealth to match the private treasuries of a local monarch and fund private armies to act as revolutionary elements that threatened their local monarch with overwhelmingly disproportionate strength and forced them to capitulate.
