The fact that the US has turned literally everything into something you can gamble on really shows how much of a failure of a society the US truly is.
The social contract has been dead for 50 years and yet people younger than fifty still out there acting like nothings wrong, and all you need to do is “get a better job” and everything will be fine.
Man I’m not sure getting a better job is gonna help me escape climate change exacerbated wildfires, nor the gambling markets that incentivize arson.
You speak as if prediction market gambling started in the US. That’s as much bullshit as claiming it started in your country. Things like this have been going on for hundreds of years.
I’d say I mostly come by it naturally but sometimes it’s the drugs which, I guess, means it’s also on purpose. So both.
I still can’t decide if you’re an AI bot, a collection of users in a Russian (or other country) troll farm, or just a teenage / early 20s edgelord who’s lost their way looking for 4chan.
Like, honestly, it’s almost impressive how good you are at rage baiting folks. So far i’m going with your username being an intentionally ironic joke.
I know you don’t. Just musing “out loud” for whoever is wasting their time reading these godforsaken comments.
I just hope your attitude and demeanor offline are better than what you put out on Lemmy otherwise you’re gonna make life harder for yourself than it needs to be.
nobody said it was a good place. nobody painted a rosie view of it. we can admit when things get worse.
I wonder why do you have the worst takes whenever I see your name. why are you attacking those that are taken advantage of? whats in it for you for attacking this user?
You view this as an attack on the user and not attempting to disillusion as many Americans as possible? I guess it’s more for possible future readers, but it’s definitely not an attack on the user.
I don’t give a fuck about your opinions on my takes lol.

Thanks for the insider info. Someone go put a bet on this guy not escaping climate change or arson gambling markets. /s
It’s the logical conclusion of “individualism.”

Yeah, but not at the scale that apps and the internet allow and with the legal backing of the US government.
And before that 50 years ago, what was the social contract like for a black person, a woman, or a native?
Your rosie view of the past, like America was ever a good place, is telling.
Where ever was there a good place?
A place without slavery, non consentual servitude, any and all injustuce, famine, or disease?
What is the standatd here?
Because the rest of the world is shit doesn’t excuse the countless atrocities of America, lol. Great attempt at deflection, I guess?
Proof you are just a hater.
Do you have any good takes or is your username meant to drip irony and that’s the point?
Are you stupid on purpose or does it come naturally?

Edgelord. Ai bots aren’t so self aggrandizing and show more wit.

Insufferable and pretentious. Oof.

Disillusion about what? does not seem like that user has written anything out of illusions.
but maybe you should when precisely nobody values what you say
It’s funny that you refer to yourself as nobody, if a little sad.
At least he knows he’s a nobody, you’re the delusional one in this case.
Thanks, doc.
