What's your objection to depopulation? It's overpopulation that makes all this possible and necessary. There's no problem we currently face that wouldn't disappear with a sustainable population level.

Granted, we ourselves might die too, but everyone dies sometime.

I don't object to a global reduction of the population. I was referring to the unvaccinated and those that refuse to go along the status quo. Those that possess a minimum amount of critical thinking skills left around would ensure that the future generations would have decent cognitive abilities while the rest of the automatons would've culled themselves through natural selection(i.e: mindlessly accepting any not-thoroughly-tested medical procedure). But that's not how it's gonna go down. The Elite wants docile sheep. Although population control makes sense in terms of natural resources availability, it puts me in a bit of an ethical quandary. If the vaccine roll-out was part of a eugenics program, it seems to have failed so far.

I guess I was trying to say that I want to perish on my own terms. But that's wishful thinking.

In current world, docile sheep makes total sense. But in a right sized world, you'd kind of want it to be functional.

I'm finding it hard to guess what exactly their plans might be.

I believe Black Mirror is predictive programming and they were giving us a taste of what's to come.

It's the gluttonous ruling class' bullshit definition and subjective limits that automatically assumes their centralized manufactured culture of duress, exploitation, and endless consumption is worth pursuing and living with artificial meaning, decadent purpose, and elusive fulfillment in serving their hierarchies instead of our communities. Who the fuck are they to make us suffer or decide when we die?

While I suspect they intentionally fattened up the herd in the first place, they're also the only ones with the power to cure. All we can do is pray for a comet, or hope the earth catastrophe cycle is real. I certainly can't do it, alone or otherwise.

Anyway, if the vax is the cure, it's a fair selection process. "Please inject me with whatever that shit is, despite the damage I see it doing to so many others"

You relinquish your own agency that easily? We all have the power. But most are hypnotized. Also, what do you mean by "cure"?

My power level has never been high enough to cure the overpopulation problem. Plus, I kind of think everyone deserves whatever consequences they create for themselves, whether it's becoming wealthy, or getting squished by the rear wheels of a bus. Same goes for our species as a whole.

But if made king of the world, new baselines would be set. :)

Ignorance is bliss, but it's no excuse.

If made king, I'd decentralize my throne until nothing remained but my harem and a handful of Earthships.
