Volcel Police having a (lonely) orgasm right now
This is much more terrifying if you also know about just how strong the Korean incel movement is.
We're going to see a Korean Ecole Polytechnique in the next decades.
South Korea feels like the only country I would want to live in less than the US. Utterly futureless place
100%, undoubtedly, without question. I got high off of a person saying hi to me while I shoveled, just because it was an interaction.
This just seems like an unambiguously awful idea straight from some dystopian scifi story that's just a bit too on the nose
look at this shit and tell me the occupation by the North was an "illegal invasion"
No need to look at the subtly unsettling today if there's an entire fascist military dictatorship in the past
Is this something weird, or just automating away potentially "bullshit" jobs and framing it as being "weird"?
It sounds like it's increasing the amount of labor done by having workers race around behind the scenes to make consumers not have to see them at all. It's like those "automated" sandwich kiosks that were big for a time where it was literally just a big cubicle kitchen that unseen workers were crammed into to make sandwiches and slide them out into little compartments people outside could pay to open, but applied to society and service work as a whole.
It also removes workers from the wrath of customers and let's customers vent without hurting anyone's feelings as collateral.
Just locking everyone in a cage so no one hurts each other’s feelings
So when the birth rates collapse even further, and they start to get a bunch of people to come to Korea to do jobs for them, what is going to happen when they run out of people willing? Natalist fascism? Imperialism to keep the flow of migration ongoing?
They definitely don't have to worry about that, climate change will create more than enough refugee migrant workers.
At that point, DPRK will be developed enough to make re-unification on their terms. Don't forget that they have the 3rd largest standing army in the world.
Based AF, this has always been my dream and vision of where communism will take us: a world where you never have to interact with another human being for any reason other than "I want to".
Taking the train in US cities is not that dangerous in general, but it's understandable that people would rather not take the risk of being stabbed, assaulted, spit on, etc by unhinged people they can't defend themselves against.
“Let’s just assume all my sensationalist violent assertions are correct-ish. You get on the train and it’s like Fortnite with people shooting and bashing each other. And each stop, there’s a Wall of Death so only 1-4 of the passengers arrive with their lives.”
This is copaganda, anti-poor bullshit. It doesn’t correspond to the real world. It only demonstrates your own paranoia.
No one said that, and dismissing any concern people have as "copaganda" is bullshit.
I’m saying the concern might be felt honestly, but why does the person feel that way?
Did they have a bad experience on public transit, or maybe they had several bad experiences that drove them away? Sometimes. Mostly, the people who tell me how bad the public transit are people who haven’t taken it in years.
Around here, only poor / lower income workers take public transit. I’m told about the most heinous shit that I never see in all my days of riding by the people who wouldn’t take a bus as a last resort. For these reasons, I feel that the concern over public transit is a way of disciplining poor people and calling them criminals.
Public transit is not like this. You are buying into sensationalist propaganda,
Living in a communal society means interacting with people and caring for their needs even if you don't "want to"
