    “… Fascism is an act of contempt, in fact. Inversely, every form of contempt, if it intervenes in politics, prepares the way for, or establishes, Fascism. It must be added that Fascism cannot be anything else but an expression of contempt without denying itself. …”

    • Albert Camus

    Political contempt is a very relatable feeling to the younger generations. The system feels broken and difficult to fix, thanks to the expensiveness of the electoral process.

      After generations of being told “mind your business” by the previous generation’s populace who try to control everyone else, the latest generation said “ok,” and fucked off to do their own thing. I don’t blame them. We destroyed the world that had been molded into something kind for us and left them with an oppressive environment; they might produce the last generation or two to enjoy being human before the billionaires and their friends coast on the product of them constantly stirring shit. Good luck to us all.
