I'm not sure whose sense of sarcasm is more subtle, mine? But, perhaps yours @valued-customer?
Because this subject is something I'm quite passionate about, let me clear the air and stop with the word play for a moment:
These interconnect, rich powerful scumballs are a shitstain on humanity's collective underwear. Anything other than this exact sentiment gleaned from my previous comment should be taken as my pathetic attempts to find comfort in misery...a little cynical humor may help to absolve some anger, maybe.
There is no meritocracy except in small pockets of decent people acting with honesty, kindness and in true, level-playing field competition with one another. These pockets are few and far between unfortunately. At the highest levels of the global society, the worst elements of mankind manipulate, scam and defraud in order to stay at the top. I hope I'm being clear here. Thanks for your comments @valued-customer
Here! Here!
I do enjoy a good, transparent rant =)
This is exactly why I am sorta rooting for Modi. He did them more damage than I ever will with my pointless angry words. The sooner their citadels of skulls and their mountains of dead men's bones are brought crashing down, the sooner we might replace it with voluntary interdependence and an egalitarian post-market economy; a society built on recognizing each the other's free will and self determination.
Technology bursts at the seams with industry that can perch on our desktops; with godlike AI that can whisper eldritch and elusive truths in our straining ears, that we might work together in peace and harmony, to conquer, not one another, not even the world, but the stars and all beyond.
Thank you for cheering me up!
You boil it down nicely. Chop, chop to the point - root for the most brazen, repugnant elites as they trip over themselves, pulling all their associated down with them.
I will not go to negativetown, WE DO have better days ahead! To the stars :)
