What’s going on here is that they’re not allowed to publish data about actual issues under the Trump/Musk coup rules, because that might benefit regular folks instead of billionaires.

    I don’t think it’s nihilism. I mean the idea of the extinction of my species makes me happy. That doesn’t sound like nihilism to me. I’m not sure if there’s a word for it though.

      The word for this is “misanthropy.” In my opinion, it’s not a useful viewpoint to take even if you find yourself disenchanted with humanity’s current performance.

        No, that implies one people wiping out another people. I’m looking for an extinction of the entire species. Equal opportunity and all that.

          When you wipe out your entire species because you are intentionally ignoring and even fanning the flames of a pandemic, that is genocide. It’s the largest possible genocide.

              I don’t know if any people have told you this, but there’s a block button that you can use for anyone you find exhausting.

              Something tells me you’d rather attack me when you have the chance though.
