Might seem generic, so feel free to reject or criticize my opinion.

You do something. Carpentry, pottery, gardening, birdwatching, jogging in the park, fishing, fix electronics etc and so on. If it's something you like or think you could do it, start doing it.

And then you ask questions when you're stumped, you help others when they're stuck and you trade barbs about it with one another. The point is that you don't go out seeking connections, but you go out because what you do finds connections for you.

So find something you like doing. I can assure you there are others who like doing that as well. You'll have something in common. And that's the start of your connections.

Imagine giving someone else full access to your entire finances, which makes sense to rich people as i presume they never handle their own finances.

Can't stop selfish parasitic bastards from spontaneously occuring as they are a natural form of evolution. And constant vigilance is difficult since it also serves as an impetus to find, exploit and create weaknesses.

I guess instilling a near constant sense of activism throughout the generations would be the path forward, but I don't know... Everything has a loophole, just needs people willing to exploit it...

In a better world, citizens would be entitled to sieze their utilities when they're no longer provided.

This is why boycotting fails for real issues, but succeeds for the dumbest imaginable.

Were I to time travel, I'd like to piss into the primordial soup so we'd get everyone ready for microplastics early on.

Lack of Karens asking for a manager. A standing army and a leader willing to start some shit can go a long way when it's time to split the spoils.

Yeah, China does it without masking themselves.

Kind and apologetic, but also cruel and genocidal. It tracks.

Go outside. Meet people. See the world. Put a pause on viewing memes until after experiencing what actually exists out there.
