...and instead spent it on ourselves, we'd have the Utopia everyone claims is impossible. I've reached the conclusion that we have no business running this planet.

We elect idiots to rule over us, who just make things worse and then we fall for their same bullshit over and over again and reelect them. Families of idiots have ruled us.

And no matter how much you point it out the obvious, no one can see it.

Things never changed.

From the outset in prehistoric times we fought each other for resources, for riches and for women. We still do.

We're still barbarians, we just dress better.
