We are the damned

I wouldn't say it's much of a blackpill, but unironically a hard actual red pill to swallow.

If it helps cheer you, here's Mark Twain's quote again on the 2 terrors...

“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break?

What is swift death by lightning compared with certain death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”

Blood is not the ink with which to write history. It is the wax with which to seal prehistory.

Not need go be, capitalism is planned to eat itself at some point, and we traveling fast to that point. Violence is mostly a weapon of the enemy to keep the capital running, like with wars. I see in a better world, without capitalism, no violence at all from the people who do not care about the tribalism of money and possession.

My next tattoo is of a a giant redwood cone, a reminder that sometimes things need to be burned down before something new can grow.
