Exactly who are you to tell me I’m “wasting my adulthood”? The same could be said about literally any pleasurable human pursuit.

Rampant consumerism and tech saviourism are not solely the domain of “nerds”, nor are they true of all “nerds”. The group you are looking for is “people”.

Plenty of people you would never consider nerds will throw away their old phone just to get the newer model. They will assume they have no responsibilities to the world or to the community because government/science/jesus will sort the big problems out. They will live in their own tiny worlds never even considering the bigger problems at play.

Why do you think this is a problem that only affects nerds?

There is a solution.

Read marx, lenin, and other socialist philosophers and politicians of your liking.

You live in a capitalist world, an inherently hostile ideology created by the few to rule the many, and you think you haven’t been fed absolutely bullshit and lied to about socialism your entire life? Everything you know is a lie. They divided and conquered us a long time ago. Their lies are just housekeeping.

You must be awake. There is either barbarism or socialism and I’ve made my choice.

I made it to the first black bar… Am I having a stroke? It doesn’t make sense to me

What utter nonsense.
