21st century Decadence, decline, disease – these are just a few words that immediately come to mind to describe the century I've been living in for over two decades now. I can't think of a single positive thing 21st century has brought us. Capitalism has poisoned the whole world. The west is going back in time to the wild west and beyond, when everyone is forced to fight to death for own life. Money is everything, the only measure of human worth. Greed and shalowness is glorified – the worst villains in history are made heroes, the humble philosophers are made fun of. Just shut up and make money, fuck with everyone, get rich and don't care about ethics or morality, as these get in the way. Only then you will get society's approval. When you try to talk about the bigger pictures, about wider consequences of your actions, you're told to shut up. YOU NEED TO MAKE MONEY YOU IDIOT, this won't BRING THE MONEY. The west doesn't even know what true leftist ideology means, they only know fascism and pseudo leftism, i.e. a pretend leftism that's in fact fascism. "Influencer" is a valid occupation now. And ads. Ads are everywhere, on buildings, on cars, in "your" phone, on your clothes, in the sky, in books, in art. You are constantly bombarded with brands, 24/7 brainwashed and pressured to buy new things you don't need. Under this system, everyone becomes dumb, heartless, egoistic, short-sighted. The whole United States comprise solely of these people. And this capitalist disease is spreading to the whole world. The sane European culture, cultivated for centuries, evolved towards social goals, has been infected by this cancer, and is quickly dying. Technology is the worst in human history. Everyone is spied on by their own tools such as cell phones and personal computers – however, these tools are never actually owned by people who buy them, but by the seller, by the corporation that made them. These tools purposfully refuse to work in ways its creators dislike and they purposfully break once the manufacturer thinks the person should buy a new model. Computers are slower and slower, designed to be unrepairable and non-modifiable. incompatible. The web is slowly rid of its freedom, EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE is based on Java Script, discriminating against users with old hardware, compromising security and freedom, preventing analysis of the site and choosing own presentation of its data. The world has never seen a worse case of anti-engineering. The devices only solve arbitrary problems they themselves invent. They immensely waste resources and destroy our environment. They have bigger screens only to be able to display bigger, more intrusive ads. The worst of all: people do not mind, they are apathetic, they just have an unresistable desire to consume new technology as they consume food, out of a fear of being left behind socially. And indeed, corporations slowly raise new generations of consumers happily. This is catastrophic now when unethical corporations are devouring states, i.e. the entities that were meant to control them. Corporations, the entities without any care of people, are starting to rule the world. Fascist groups are taking over the world. Feminists, LGBT, BLM, metoo, ... they are calling themselves "minority right movements" and operate with force, censorship, braniwashing, emotion, mass hysteria, toxicity. They proudly "cancel" people who merely dare to voice criticizm. They love being offended and then take revenge. They love censoring every public forum, ban words from languages, inevnt Newspeak. As the biggest hypocrites, they preach about their own sexual orientations being equal to others, but happily practice witch hunting against orientation they dislike, such as pedophiles or necrophiles. Politicians arbitrarily create an atmosphere of fear from other humans so that they can justify their wars and other harmful agenda. Revenge, war, fight. These are the values of the 21st century. Whole continents are dying of hunger and diseases and are abused by the rich continents. They are forced to take and process the waste of the rich. They are forced to cheaply manufacture meaningless products for the rich. Little children are breathing toxic gas, working from young age without even a hope for education. And for that, they are called "lazy", they are laughed at for not being rich and told this was their choice. We have the capacity to feed all humans, but we won't. In 21st century, EVERYTHING is fake. Everyone is tattooed, has fake breasts, fake teeth, fake hair, fake smile, fake friends. Absolutely nothing is real, sincere or genuine, because absolutely everything is business. Lying is no longer immoral, it is called marketing and it is taught at schools. Everything, including health care, charity, art, science, journalism, education of little children, religion... everything is permeated by business, greed, money, sponsors, motive of profit only. There exists no real empathy or humanity. Science documentaries, education, sports, everything is faked, staged to offer best presentation in the competition for attention. Every "fact" presented is a lie. All sportsmen take doping and bribes, every politician is an actor with whole teams writing their speeches and directors presenting the lies to the public. This is all an inevitable state of competitive environment – only the cheaters will survive. Nature is dying, air is toxic, people are everywhere. Climate is irreversibly destroyed. Animals are tortured and killed by millions every day, just because people like to overeat on meat, get extremely fat and then go do meaningless labour called "working out" to lose the extra weight. Animals are held in concrentration camps where the only meaning of their lives is to be abused and tortured for profit. People don't like this done to themselves, but happily do it to others. Everyone is a hypocrite. "Christians" happily and without any feeling of guilt take part in business and capitalism. We're told slavery has been abolished, but people are enslaved more than ever, owned by corporations, the rich by consumerism, the poor by being given no choice but work themselves to death. The US says they have freedom, a "democracy", while offering a choice of two parties, both practically identical capitalist evil. We're told we're making progress, but it's only a progress in making a better enslaving technology serving its own ends, not the well being of prople – while social progress made has been, of courese, exactly zero. We're told our technology is "open source", when in fact this has no practical positive effect and serves to give only a false sense of security to the users, serving no purpose besides trying to replace true free software. In 21st century, no one thinks long-term, no one think about others. Everyone is solely focused on immediate profit for oneself only, as capitalism dictates, without any concern about the future or other living beings. No one cares about the destruction of our planet, about the moral values, about our children, about people in third world countries, about animal suffering, about sustainable society. Freedom is dead. A man only lives to serve his role as a machine in a factory, and if he can't fulfill this purpose, then he better just die quickly so as to not be a burden. A man is kept a slave by the technology, bureocracy, laws, social pressure, and his need to constantly make money to be able to constantly replace his items and consume media. If he refuses, he is labeled lazy, and if he has no money, food and health care is refused to him so that he dies quickly. If he tries to critize the regime and propaganda, he is ridiculed, labeled insane, a radical, anti-"progress" terrorist, and is locked up and cancelled. Everyone is only obsessed with "productivity" as everyone knows their worth is only in how fast they can keep producing any meaningless product that's demanded by capitalism. Most jobs are useless, harmful even, only existing to keep people enslaved, to arbitrary create "jobs". Art is dead. I cannot think of a good movie, music or PC game made in the last decade. Everything is a shallow template attempt at trying to appeal to as many people as possible, at making as much money as possible. Music doesn't even have melody anymore. Lyrics are the stupidest mashup of random words a two year old with his vocabulary would be able to put together. Movies have no deeper ideas, just more and more expensive CGI, which also looks worse and worse every year. Every piece of art has a ad or product placement in it. Science is not useful and trustworthy as it only serves politics and business. Scientists cheat to get published, hack P values, work towards results set by sponsors, create unethical products such as addictive pharmaceutic drugs, avoid researching politically incorrect topics. You cannot trust medicine if its interest is you being sick. Public domain is non-existent. Freedom of art and technology is supressed heavily. Those who choose to share and improve are punished by law and society, called "pirates", "communists", "terrorists" etc. Authors that have been dead for a century still own their works. In many countries you cannot even legally put your own work into the public domain. That would be anti-capitalist, a crime against the market!
