Keep your head in the sand. Play on your phone. The world is about to change dramatically in the next 20 years.

I'm not sure about a collapse, but we are certainly on the in the middle of a massive societal tilt. Which sucks too.

ok does posting daily on a message board change any of those things?

so in your view the world is goona change dramatically over the next 20 years....i can only vote...nothing else is changing that, so my choices are

1) Worry, be stressed and overall miserable for the next 20 years because i allowed politics to control my life

or

2) i can be happy, ignore all of that shite except at election time so that i can be happy and enjoy life/family/friends for the next 20 years with the exception of about a week to 10 days every other year when its time to go to the polls

ummmmmm.....which one sounds like the better plan...be the overly political douche bag that everyone hates that treats politics as a religion and is cult-like in his behavior

or I can go enjoy life

what a fricking hard choice!!!

If you ask anyone what is the easiest way to control people, they will say "fear".

And then those same people will say "if you are not afraid, you are not paying attention!"

And its like they can't see it right in front of their face.

Funny, you're on a political message board too. When I said the world is going to dramatically change over the next 20 years, I meant that AI and automation is going to remove millions of jobs, migration will change the landscape of current societies, and far more fewer people will be looking for work.

Not everything people say have to do with who's in the White House. Things change no matter what.. sometimes with help from politics, sometimes not.

Why pay attention at all? Sounds like you don't need to put yourself through such turmoil. You know who you'll be voting for anyway, so why are you here? You seem to despise politics but expose yourself willingly to it.

I didn't read much of your post. You can leave now. Otherwise, I may think you like it here.
