 Endgame to who? 99% of humans are poor & slaves to rich. I wish we would band together & demand 1% pay their fair share. How to do so. 

People have been systematically brainwashed to fall into and us versus them mentality. Many in US still won’t speak with another of a different political mindset. That only benefits the super wealthy. 

Few take part in local civic duties but rage online about the world. Heard. The world is bad, what are you doing to make it better. 

The only reason I’m online is to bring humanity to it. Genuinely. 

Humans already admit to having few IRL friends. Prevalence of Loneliness is pervasive. 

Truth is I loved life completely offline. Stayed there for years. The rise of influencer cults & culture is disturbing. Who will fight for humanity? I’m trying to bridge gaps. 

My hope is humanity will prevail but it’s a long convoluted journey.
