I couldn't give a wet fart about power. It comes with too much attention and responsibility. I'll take that truck load of cash though please and thank you.
Anyone who actually wants power should not be trusted, with it, or in general
Do you believe that humans intrinsically lust for power as an essentialist point?
EDIT: for a dropped 'm'
See, I think that's where we disagree-- because I don't see it as an intrinsic codified that far back. If anything, I think that's just part and parcel of being socialized under the dictatorship of capital; where we're literally raised to prioritize competition against our peers, and more importantly, winning that competition. I only see 'power' as the means to the end of accomplishing the objectives we were socialized to chase from birth.
tl;dr change the society, change the socialization, eradicate the common, but not all-encompassing desire for power over another.
You must live in a sad world. I feel sorry for you.
Yeah such a world of utmost happiness and truth. Only people in a perfect world say things like that.
Did you go browsing through someone’s post history elsewhere on Lemmy to try and dunk, then report them when they argued with you? Absolutely pathetic. Have threes days off to touch grass.
Clown behaviour. Have a week off, champ.
Truly a person in a world of utmost happiness
So you just like spitting poison at people for no reason, huh? I hope you can get the help you obviously need. Life is not as bad as you think it is.
This community enjoys being positive. You should look somewhere else to spew venom around.
