As people who want to eat, love, and not die screaming in a ditch, we cling to our opinions like life preservers in a sea of stupidity. We’re biased by comfort and raised on truths so warped they should come with a surgeon general’s warning.
And when someone dares to think differently, we don’t debate them. We burn them alive at the stake of our own self-righteousness, feeding the flames with Facebook rants and dopamine hits of moral outrage.
Common sense took the last train out years ago, and the people who claim to have it are usually the ones who shouldn’t be trusted with scissors.
Now tech layoffs are piling up like driftwood in a flood, and half the people watching are stunned that the shiny dream machine just chewed them up. The other half, the ones muttering in the shadows, saw it coming. They’ve always known the CEOs are sociopaths with better suits.
Corporations are not families, they’re meat grinders. “Progress” is a marketing slogan slapped over an economic Ponzi scheme. Every so-called revolution worth remembering started in a garage with some lunatic covered in solder burns and caffeine jitters. AI isn’t a reason to fire people, it’s an excuse to not feel guilty about it.
And don’t kid yourself, the corporate class isn’t stupid. They’re hoarding cash and whispering to each other about the Great Depression 2.0, while you’re still arguing over whether pineapple belongs on pizza. The economy’s predictability just got vaporized, and when the music stops, millions will be standing without jobs, healthcare, or dignity.
The monuments will crumble, and we’ll call it “creative destruction” while the same bastards buy beachfront property in cash. So no, government won’t save you. They’re too busy bickering about whose version of incompetence is more patriotic. I don’t kneel for governments, worship CEOs, or high-five the doom prophets. But I’ve got enough sense not to walk into traffic just because someone told me the road’s clear. And if I see clouds gathering, I bring an umbrella, because I’m not stupid enough to call it “weather resilience.”
