Can I just say what a crazy fucking timeline we're on? Like what the fuck. When I was a kid it was like, oh no bill clinton's a pervy asshole but still somehow cool. Now we have nazis, social media is owned by billionaires who manipulate people with memes, the earth is boiling and I'm still getting fucking ads for hair removal.
I suggest we all go out for one day, with some snacks to share, and some guillotines, have a party, then agree we all go back to the woods to eat berries and be happy. I don't even care about the god damn internet and good moisturizer. I would like to sit naked in a bog, eating leaves, and sleep in a tree dreaming of nothing at all.
If we didn't have however many billions it is now of people, I'd be all about returning to that hunter gatherer life. Would it be really fucking hard? For sure. Would people die of dumb stuff? Ok maybe we keep like, antibiotics. But I bet cavemen never sat around like, "why am I even continuing to exist in this neverending capitalist nightmare?" They probably didn't wake up at 3 am every night for weeks because the dread overcame their exhaustion. I will join you in the bog.
I know what you are saying, but consider for a second that the shit we are experiencing today ultimately stems from tribalism. Tribalism existed full well in hunter gatherer societies. In some ways better (no nukes). In other ways, far, far more brutal.
