    I mean, to be fair, when I was younger my viewpoints changed as often as I changed my underwear

      Yeah well I think I don’t have any real viewpoints which is also a viewpoint I guess. I just adopt things based on a whim or need. One day a commie, another ancap. Do these words mean anything anymore

      I guess all that counts at the end of the day is how well off you are and clear conscience and the paths to achieve that are myriad

      There is nothing honest I can say about Luigi because fundamentally I don’t care. Some American drama, another one in the long streak of news. There is no hate, there is no love. The only constant is indifference

      Let’s talk about something interesting for once like color theory or classical paintings.

      if ideologies feel like temporary costumes, maybe the real focus is the pragmatic pursuit of well-being and a clear conscience. The modern news cycle thrives on manufactured stakes, and indifference might just be the sanest response.

      Don’t you all not feel burnt out from the constant outrage?

        I don’t have any hard set-in-stone viewpoints either, to be fair. I feel like I have a set of core beliefs values, but otherwise I’m fairly impressioniable and feel differently depending on the specific topic. I never understood people who just label themselves by a specific ideology and then just base everything off of that.

        I gotta say I feel a great deal of sympathy with what Luigi stands for though. Murder may be despicable, but if the common people don’t stand up against the unfair system no one will - and I certainly feel no sympathy for the victim. Especially in this Trumpian era of tech-fascists trying to turn all of humanity into slaves.

        However, I do agree with your take. The news are designed for shock value and quick consumption. It’s not a meaningful pursuit - and I’ve personally spent too much energy on Trump… although it’s hard not to since I’m Danish and he wants to invade us…

            Most likely. But when the biggest military power in the world directly threatens you, you’d be stupid not to take precautions.

                  Yeah and I remember that night like yesterday surrounded by multiple screens I have seen the exact moment when Russia crossed the border Live at like 4 AM

                  Since then Russia were supposed to balkanize three times already. Nothing happened. Nothingburger

                  Now Macron says he will send troops. He won’t. Nothing will amount out of it.

                  Even Covid it was supposed to be a zombie virus and we would have a real zombie apocalypse. Nothing like that ever happened

                  Nothing ever happens

                    Tell that to the Ukrainian civilians being murdered every day. Your philosophy is stupid and inhumane. It’s that of a grazing cow who doesn’t care as his comrades are sent to become hamburgers. Maybe you’ll care when it’s your turn.

        No

        Some American drama, another one in the long streak of news. There is no hate, there is no love. The only constant is indifference.

        Don’t you understand this is the precise mindset that is powerless to resist fascism and in fact sets the table for it?

        The point of the firehose is so you stop caring, congratulations you did it! Do you want a medal?

          But it’s really hard to sympathise with anyone here. Someone killed somebody, somebody other killed someone other maybe, maybe not, depending on your beliefs and political stance.

          People kill each other each day for myriad of reasons why is this particular case any more interesting?

          Everyone has some kind of manifesto and stuff they really want someone to read. They think it is very important I am sure.

          In the end it is just murderers doing the killing things not really that interesting unless you are into true crime in which case I prefer mysterious disappearances
