If we're close, a lack of emojis/lols trigger me. ๐Ÿคท

I know what it means but I'm repurposing it because, well, it sounded nice. Perhaps I shouldn't have. ๐Ÿคท

That's a very deep, generous and insightful post. Thanks. ๐Ÿ‘

That we shouldn't care about anything besides our own worldly/ material whims.

Billy Big D is very implicated too... this is way deeper than MAGA, it's part of the daily life of the American political and otherwise powerful classes and has been for decades.

I don't care about it simply because I know nothing useful or moral is gonna come from it, it's just gonna be used for more spin... but it's still good that at least some people (some Americans in particular) are aware of the horrors and depravity of the upper echelons of (mostly Western) society.

If weed is your only/wildest vice after trying a lot of shit out I think you should be proud of yourself. ๐Ÿ‘

Now this is a proper reply. Fair enough. I wasn't being hostile, more like ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜”, certainly not too positive. It's annoying that people can be this blind, it's a big reason why the world is so shit and why the West cranks and exports villains who are loved locally... it's triggering, for lack of a better word.

But at some point, when virtue doesn't taste as nice as forgoing it, you'll fall. And you might have not had you had some form of moral framework in place and not just our inner "noble savage" nature.

Pretty normal expectation from a rich white guy in South Africa at the time, ngl.

At some point your hedonistic desires clash with moral frameworks and you don't do the wrong thing, best case scenario. "Nothing matters so just have a good time" erases that paradigm/doesn't allow for one to exist in the first place. You're going mostly on vibes and maybe more money means you could get nicer things and comfier toys and have more fun so you start your OF/sell drugs/scam your way into millions and now you scam more because you're the prez of the free world (lol)... get it?
