Back to the Carlin quote -

He was on point as per usual and one of the first people I can remember openly talking about 'woke' subject matter and conspiracy theory in comedy. I think that type of stuff is easier to swallow when it's mixed in with jokes because most people would otherwise get uncomfortable and cognitive dissonance would have them checking out of the conversation so they can remain in their little comfy reality bubble, that kind place where beliefs aren't questioned and everything is more or less okay.

I used to care. I used to get so mad thinking about the 'elite' and how we're lied to and manipulated constantly and now I don't f@#!ing care at all. I don't care because I spent so many years trying to 'wake people up' and open their eyes to what is really going on, and that time spent was a complete waste. What I've learned over the years is that most people (and by 'most' I mean the vast majority) do not give a shit about anything that doesn't directly affect their personal, day-to-day lives. They might claim that they do but they are lying. Most people aren't interested in learning anything that they aren't compelled to learn about and even when you can find someone who seems willing to listen, they really just are trying to set you up to 'prove you wrong' by asking you to cite specific evidence and facts that you obviously aren't going to be carrying around in your back pocket, and it doesn't matter what you're talking about because if they call for facts and you can't immediately present them, they have won in their own minds... even though everyone has smart phones these days and can look up virtually anything. They never look up anything though. Never.

This is why I am inclined to let the world burn. This planet needs a giant douche. Everywhere you look it's a bunch of predatory scumbags lording over a bunch of consumeristic sheeple retards. These people can tell you the scores of the most recent games and what happened in that one episode of Game of Thrones but can't provide the names of people in highly important government offices in their own respective countries. It's beyond pathetic. 

As far as the conversation about wealth goes, I do think that a certain level of opulence / extravagance is completely unnecessary yet at the same time I don't think that it is morally right for society to impose some sort of limit on others as to how much wealth they can attain, and what kind of luxury they can have. Unfortunately I can't think of a better economic system than capitalism, but capitalism definitely has its faults. Truth be told, if I were filthy rich I would indulge to the max and probably be a horrible human being. I don't think that money necessarily turns people evil, but I do think that it can lead people to become largely amoral. Conventional morality is for the slave class and doesn't really apply when you have so much money invested here and there that your money passively makes you far more money than someone with a normal job could make, all while you do f@#!ing nothing aside from get your dick sucked by a porn star.
