Welcome to what younger generations realized a decade ago or more. Most of us will never own a home or retire. I plan to end it when my life becomes unbearable in old age rather than be a slave to the system. That’s why, even though we (spouse and I) financially save for the future, I live for now. We (collectively) have no future. Accepting it is easier than being depressed about it.
Note: this doesn’t mean I don’t do what I can to try to save our (collective) future. It’d be selfish not to try.
My retirement plan is assisted suicide (in Canada, of course). Feels weird to be saving for death, but this is the reality we live in. What else can I do? Wait until I can’t work anymore and can’t pay my mortgage and hydro bill? And then what, hang myself in the barn? Fuck that, I want to go out high af and feeling no pain.
Genuine abhorrence of violence. Even though I think (know) it’s the only way we can overcome the lying, cheating, violent bastards on the other side, growing up in an abusive home makes the idea nauseating to me.
I do believe we’ll reach a point where we have no choice, though I fear that will happen when it’s too late.
I couldn’t agree more. That’s why people love Luigi so much and why there’s no sympathy for the Blackrock CEO who got killed at random. People are happy to see action; they just aren’t ready to act.

Somebody launch my carcass through a billionaires front window please when I’m old.
Only if I can strap dynamite to you first.
Duh. Thank you MeatPilot

Yes! Go full exploding beach whale!
Shove it in my ass please
A noble purpose 🫡

Also, conditioning by mass media over a lifetime.

Inertia
I plan to get a small bomb for when I had enough. Have some issues though so far.

I can’t just search that up, that will raise red flags…

I’d say two decades ago, maybe even three. Pensions gone, social security inadequate, ira/401k sorta a joke.
