“Try to relax. Slow, deep breaths. Let go of your physical shell. Reach out to grasp the threads that bind us, one to another. Every action sends ripples across the galaxy. Every idea must touch another mind to live. Each emotion must mark another's spirit. We are all connected. Every living being united in a single glorious existence. Open yourself to the universe. Embrace eternity!”

Chemical dissolution isn't that intensive. The cartel famously had a guy who just him and his assistant were able to dissolve hundreds of bodies over years in a small hideout in a construction site.

I don't live there, and Americans should clean up their own mess for a change. Aren't there like 11 guns per American? Remind me the reason why Americans allowed kids to be smashed to pieces by AR-15's in their schools?

Citizens too. If you're an American, you're not safe. These people are actively threatening your lives, what are you gonna do about it? Voting won't help you. Holding up a sign or marching on a Saturday won't stop Nazi 2.0. Remember what it took to stop them last time and get it over with already!

Yeah I'd put it up there with MTV reality shows of the 2000's.

I would say it's the dominant western neoliberal culture that accepts corruption as an "Oh well what can you do" type thing. Not all cultures are so accepting of corruption. We need to start treating corruption as great of a sin as murder or pedophilia, perhaps more so.

Only because people misuse it. As people of Earth, born and beholden to the dirt itself, technology and science should be used to better connect ourselves with nature and help facilitate relations between all things, for the benefit of all things. Instead, we use technology and science to distance ourselves from nature, coming from the false assumption that we are somehow seperate from or above nature. It is beyond human control, always has been, and it won't be long until the relations and environment will cut those arrogant humans down to size in what they call "a catastrophe of global proportions." We are not special, unless discussing how especially weak humans are - weakness to provide food for ourselves and relying on reason and intellect is what makes special. Humans only survived as long as we have due to our ability to understand the relations of our world, and our ecological niche is to help facilitate those relations not just between people, but the mountains and the water and the birds. Instead we turn that mountain into gravel and call it "development", pollute our water by using it as coolant for a factory, silence the bird songs more and more each year, and reduce human beings into "workers." This is true whether you're right or left, capitalist or socialist, there is no "revolution" within that mindset, only continuation. Industrialism at all costs because "science will find a way" will doom us.

There is another way, a way that understands we have no right to take from mother nature. That wealth is meaningless unless you give it away. I dream of a solarpunk world where buildings are grown, where food grows literally everywhere, with massive urban metropolises that resemble rainforests, where cities are built to clean water instead of pollute it, where technology can genetically supercharge trees so that they grow solarcell leaves to power our homes, where education is exploration, where all animals have right to roam, where we understand our living biosphere so well we're able to replicate that process on other planets. Why are we even considering space travel if we don't even know how to live on our own planet? Why do we create these gadgets and gizmos only for competitive profits and not the betterment of mankind? Why do we require people to have money for food and teaching them how to obey their superiors at a workplace, instead of teaching people how to grow their own food and learning about the relations of natural things? Why aren't we investing as much into lab-grown meat as we are into killing animals? It all goes back to our attitude towards nature, and this horrible religious mindset that thinks we are god.

Where are the Luigi copycats hiding?

They wouldn't be very good at hiding if anyone knew where they were.
