Utter bullshit. Just utter bullshit. Aging is criminal and we should abolish it.
If aging didn’t exist Kissinger would yet live. I’m willing to die so that the people I hate also share that fate. Just wish it wasn’t so slow and humiliating.
Yes but consider - Countless millions of people victimized by Kissinger would have remained young, virile, healthy, and capable of carrying out unlikely political assassinations. Imagine a world where every old, broken communist could bench their own weight and run a ten minute mile and would bring all their hatred, rage, and sorrow to war with all the vitality they had when they were 20?
There would be more permanently young ghouls.
Our main obstacle is our lack of numbers. Granting eternal youth to all would only magnify that.
So long as death and crippling are on the table it advantages us because asymmetrical warfare and terrorism are our tools: a stratagem that allows a single person to affect hundreds.
Look at that anarchist who had a convoluted shoved and accomplished nothing, dying doesn’t matter unless you get an x+1:x ratio out of it.
Just my opinion though.
I’m ootl on that picture
It's just vaush an "anarchist" youtuber who this forum despises. For good reason, he's basically a liberal calling himself a leftist.
I thought Vaush ID as a different ideology. Good to know next time a certain acquaintance annoys me
Oh God my condolences you have someone in your social circle who watches Vaush.
Worse, a nato anarchist. This bastard had Gulag archipelago on his nightstand the last time I came overs
it's not your opinion it's objectively correct
old age is the only reason we don't live in a perma-giga-fucked up kingopoly of the first guy to ever take power
They had to shoot Nicholaus and he claimed he was Caesar of the Romans, a guy who died 2,000 years ago I do not see our actual situation being different.
Counterpoint I wanna vibe forever and I need to be young and healthy to do it
Counter counterpoint: there are less comrades than ghouls. If one of us being forced to be mortal is true, like a hindered of them have to die too. For the greater good.

What if we make a special exception for me?
I you rock currently, are you sure an immortal you wouldn’t become worse?
I think I’d get really zen with it. And probably could help people better investing and shit long term
Well, I’m that case I hope you get the chance to test it out. A failed immortal comrade is better than no immortal comrade
Thank you for your support comrade 🫡
counter counter counterpoint - it's been 99 to one in favor of re-distributing all the land to the peasants since they invented peasants, it only seems the other way around now because of a fluke of propaganda and, i cannot stress this enough, because all the people who actually lived under communism either died already or weren't old enough to remember it. Plus, there are 1.3 billion Chinese people and while they're not all ideological communists there's still a lot of them. The whole thing with the left is that it benefits the vast majority of people, while every other system by design only benefits like 5 specific people.
All true, I easily grow discouraged living in land of the lumpen. I need to keep more of a global perspective. Thanks for the reminder.
Totes relatable my immediate social environment has been disheartening for a long time now.
For real people not dying is part of the reason society is upset right now, and Altered Carbon takes this to an extreme.
