STOP RESISTING!! 4

Humankind resists each other in all sorts of ways. Pitting brother against brother, humanity is growing increasingly divided.
Our corporations are entities that sink tons of resources into competing with each other, the media point us to who to hate, who to fear and why, we have militaries to fight each other on the state level with whole industries using the best and brightest minds and greatest manufacturing capablity into technologies to kill one another.
People resist each other on all levels, people waste resources on all levels on pushing each other away, on getting ahead on all our expense.
Get that: getting ahead at all our expense.
So now we have COVID-19.
Did all the world come to the rescue of China? Fuck no. Would China even let the world assist them? Fuck no.
We and our Wall and the barbarians at the gate, we will never surrender!
Now people are DYING, DYING, DYING.
We keep fighting each other. We keep resisting each other.
Fighting Unity, fighting cooperation.
No contingency plan, no contingency hardware, no contingency budget.
And it KILLS and KILLS and KILLS while we resist each other, obstruct each other.
One World, One People, One Responsibility over that World and our Destiny.
And we're blowing it, royally.
Resisting, obstructing, hindering, preventing.
Competing.
COVID-19 does not compete.
Each of them will do the utmost towards the species goal.
Infect 3,4,5 hosts, or 50 at once if your host is on an airplane.
COVID-19 marches in iron lockstep to subdue us and we run around like headless chickens, competing, resisting, preventing adequate action against it.
Either we unite as a species or suffer very bitter casualties.
Very bitter indeed.
Not just by the disease but by the situation it creates to fight it while fighting each other.
Either we unite as a species to fight COVID-19 or we unite in grief over our loved ones and economic depression in a world we wrecked and keep on wrecking by resisting each other.
UNITY. It's no longer optional.
The bridge to the other isn't that long, if COVID-19 crosses it with ease.
We must Unite, not just against this virus but in all things.
This virus is a learlning tool for us all to come together like never before.
In honor of those dying, let us do that RIGHT NOW.
UNITY.

The human race is currently at plague proportions. Things are just balancing out a bit.
Sure it's not fun to be dead, but this outcome was inevitable and predictable. I predicted it years ago and have repeated it many times since then. It's actually less dramatic than I thought it would be, so far. I though %50 of us would die. Early days yet still I guess.
Don't fear the reaper.

The biggest pollution humankind causes is because of us fighting each other at every turn.
If there was a "manhattan project" to invent the best, longest lived, most economic energy savings lamp, that lamp would be developed, last a human lifetime and collectively the world over saved so much energy that we could close a lot of energy plants.
See what I'm saying?
We create INFERIOR PRODUCTS with INFERIOR SERVICE LIVES just to COMPETE.
THAT is why this is a trash planet by now.

Somethings probably should be resisted tbh. Also recessions happen, deaths happen. I'm all for cooperation and what not but it's really not like a "we must unite or were all completely fucked" type of situation. There's so many people creating so much panic over the current world situation. That just clouds the mind. Urgency is important in some situations. The excesivly anxious and panicked and-in some cases-exaggerated speak from people just causes more problems.

Human nature is to fight and compete. You see resistance, I see biological and genetic programing to survive even if it means others do not.
People fighting for that last roll of tp are expressing the primal urges that have always been there hidden underneath the thin venear of humanity.
With all due respect Asante you're looking for humans to suddenly not be humans and well, that is a pipe dream

Competition and struggle makes us all stronger.
When trees compete for sunlight they grow and grow and grow and grow.
Same with weed plants.
The weed plants are interesting because you end up with the strongest, most flavorful, amd most potent plants by beating them up and intensionally inducing stress in various ways.
I know we're not plants, but competition and struggle makes animals stronger as well. It isn't pretty, easy, and doesn't feel good when you experience it.
But the good medicine never tastes good.
A lot of people have been cushioned for a long time from experiencing much pain and struggle. I think that's part of why current events aren't going well. Everyone is used to being bailed out or thinks they can depend on other entities besides themselves for their own wellbeing when really we are all ultimately responsible for ourselves. Including preparing for hard winters like this one.

And it doesn't even really seem like that hard of a winter. I honestly don't know why everyone is at the level of stress that they are. I'm at a homeless shelter all my plans with my workforce manager and almost everthing else i try to do keeps getting delayed or not working out because of the virus and the fact that I have very limited access to a phone or internet there was a 5.7 earthquake in my area just a couple weeks ago and if you want to talk about conflict that's all some homeless people seem to want to do lol. I'm doing just fine. I'll still get a job and an apartment and get back up on my feet things are just a bit harder. But it's not the end of the world like a lot of people keep acting like it is. Even if your a bum like me lol. And I wish people were more united and that but like I said it's really not the end of the world.

Perspective is everything.
I'm glad you're not feeling too hard hit. Nor am I. Was planning on hiding out and growing shrooms anyway until at least June so I was pretty well prepared to go full recluse already.
A lot of people weren't ready for this though. That's why I call it a hard winter. I read the average American would be considerably financially set back over a 500 dollar car repair. That's crazy and what is making it so hard for a lot of folks.
Time for people to reassess if they need that thousand dollar phone and a car payment. I've felt like I was way behind the game for a long time because everyone around me seemed to have new cars and clothes and the newest phones and tech.
I realized the difference is that I don't have credit cards and don't buy cars with credit. So my possetions are perhaps a more accurate depiction of how productive I am vs someone who buys now and pays later.
I'm straying though- you're right, not the end. Be safe out there. Good luck getting things back together.

So true, the concept of saving up a 6 month safety net is so foreign to people that it seems impossible, as impossible to them as not getting that new phone, nails done or unnecassary lift kit for their bro dozer truck. My wife and I have an agreement that we will not have 2 car payments at once, so yeah i could be driving a leased bmw m4, but instead I am driving a 11 year old honda accord w/175k

Fuck yeah! My honda is 19 and I don't give a hoot. It drives well and starts every time. I think I have like 180k or thereabouts.
I like it because it's low key and not appealing to thieves.
