Society is dead. Empathy is a scarce resource these days.
Hunger games / Mad Max - what the extreme right want for the working class

It’s not really the extreme right, it’s just a strategy that works now that education is so poor that critical thinking doesn’t exist in most of the population.Hunger games / Mad Max - what the extreme right want for the working class

Yeah, but with reality TV.so keep the population thick and then moan about the lack of productivity from a bunch of thicko's - Jesus we are in the 18th century aren't we?
Had a massive fault with a manager over strikes in 2013, called him out on it whilst others didn’t dare, if ever I see him I just turn my back in him, he retired 3 years after the strikes even now he calls me a **** behind my back because o stood up to him after his excuse for working was laughable he knows he will always be a scab. Fuck him.You’ve got to be a particular **** to be a scab. Not support a strike; don’t lose any pay; reap the rewards of any such action. Immoral. “But who’ll think of the passengers / customers / patients/ kids?” Get fucked blacklegs
The only good scab is a dead scab… and even then, they’re still a thieving ****!Had a massive fault with a manager over strikes in 2013, called him out on it whilst others didn’t dare, if ever I see him I just turn my back in him, he retired 3 years after the strikes even now he calls me a **** behind my back because o stood up to him after his excuse for working was laughable he knows he will always be a scab.

“Get fracking and put green issues on hold.”Just what we need. More short-termism. It’s served the country, the world and the environment admirably thus far.

I wonder how the people who will be affected that don’t realise it yet will react. Will it be in marching/protesting together, or via their Instagram story feed?While it was originally written about the silence of German intellectuals and certain clergy, following the Nazis’ rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, it reminds me of people’s current attitudes towards many of society’s problems…
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then, they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Society (us) has turned a blind eye, and the resources necessary, to many of our collective ills in the hope that they’ll go away, someone else will take care of them, or because they didn’t really affect us…YET!
And here we are…
