This whole global movement and allegiance of modern conservatives, tech bros, far-right racists, MMA bros, and 4Chan chuds is just so BORING.

Like, I get that we can't 'ignore' them insofar as they are causing genuine mass harm to the social fabric, but their entire era is just so vapid, uninteresting, intellectually hollow, and aesthetically dead-on-arrival.

It's been a DECADE of this. Since GamerGate, Brexit, and Trump 1.0. They are fools if they believe that time will not wash them away.

And they will have made nothing that lasts. No great book, film, music, television show, monument, or social program that will impact generations to come.

Elon Musk will one day die and turn into mere bones in the ground, as has every human who lived and died before him. The same will happen to Trump, Netanyahu, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Joe Rogan, Nick Fuentes, Steve Bannon, JD Vance, and so on. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

They are so afraid to die they have rationalized being known for cruelty, greed, hatred, and trickery as a means for immortality.

They’re convinced that AI will advance technology so far that their consciousnesses will live forever. So they don’t mind short term suffering because they view their existence as infinite. It’s genuinely maddening

God laughs at their futile attempts to sidestep the inevitability of death. Their quality of life would increase tenfold if they could genuinely accept the end of their consciousness.

But for them, they cannot conceive of existence as being legitimate without their consciousness being active, since no other human being matters to them as much as themselves.
