    Fascists always lose in the end

    The Kim family has had almost 3 full generations of not facing any consequences for their actions in NK. The Saudi royal family has been living it up in luxury for decades. Sorry, but I think your statement is childishly idyllic and not reflective of the real world.

    Karma doesn’t exist. The good guys dont always win. Some of the most evil people imaginable will die peacefully in their sleep at the age of 90, wealthy, and surrounded by family that loves them.

      You confuse history with karma. Authoritarians don’t outlast humanity. The “real world” bends in centuries, not decades. Your attempt at an argument is myopic and unsophisticated.

        Yeah no, he also has a point.

        Humanity may survive but that is the same as saying not to worry about climate change because Earth will survive; it’s of little help to me here, right now

        The reality of the situation is that you don’t know. Just because history worked in a certain way doesn’t mean the future will, especially with the rapid changes we’re facing today

          Every single authoritarian in history has fallen out faded away. Every single one. Will you and/or I see it? Probably not, although I hope that we are close to a cusp in history. The pendulum has been artificially pushed to the right, the current status has been built on lies and deceit - it can’t be sustained.

            Every authoritarian in history has been a person, and all people eventually die. It’s a good thing corporations aren’t people, cuz it could get really wild with Zorg Industries or MomCorp running things their way with the corporation staying in power even after leadership dies out.
