dear fancy, terrible future world we live in,

go fuck yourself. you are so dumb. there are a lot of awesome things about you, and how easy it is to communicate with friends using mini devises that fit in our pockets. but there are so MANY MANY dumb things about you. here is my list:
*working in order to eat. instead of learning skills like hunting, farming, plant identification, we work. i work at a job which wouldn't exist if people learned how to grow and make food themselves. in order to feed myself and my cat i feed other people. in order for a lot of people to eat they have to feed other people. we don't have the same access to learning gardening, cooking and hunting as we use to. in this crazy future we live in we're losing skills it took thousands of years to perfect....
*cars. they make loud noises, smell bad and are pretty dangerous. while i know that using horses for transportation is kind of fucked up, i also know that horses eat things that come from the ground, and cars eat things that we have to destroy the ground (where we could be growing our and our horse's food) and pollute our bodies to get to. cars eat things that give us cancer. that's not to say i don't appreciate how fast motorized vehicles get us places, or how awesome it is that they play music or other things about them, that's just to say that our dependence on them is killing us and taking away valuable beet growing space. AND ROBING MY LIFE OF HORSES. we don't need at all as many motorized vehicles as we have in this crazy future... bikes are also cool.
*tv. don't get me wrong, i love the x-files. but i think we need to be honest that only purpose is entertainment. entertainment is not bad, it can be good to relax, to make us think about things in a new way, to pass time, but it can also distract us from taking care of ourselves and each other. the sheer amount of resources that go into developing tv shows, filming tv shows, paying actors, paying writers, the money, the land used (that land could have been used to grow food on), etc is completely insane. we're spending so much time, energy, money and resources on entertainment while people are starving in our communities and around the world. we could half the amount of money, time, resources, etc spent on tv shows and still have hundreds of tv shows to choose from and maybe use some of those resources to feed people and build housing... also, if we didn't spend so much time watching tv, think of the skills we could be learning and the experiences we could be having.
*sky scrappers. they could fall on me. i know this is irrational. but my irrational fear is this crazy future's fault.
*businesses, business parks, sky scrapers, etc that have pictures of beautiful nature scenes hanging inside of them. we live in a future in which we appreciate nature by destroying in order to build buildings for business (not even for housing most of the time) and then putting pictures of the nature we're destroying in the buildings. so, while we work at mostly pointless jobs which wouldn't exist with out capitalism and the stock market, we can be reminded of the nature we're missing out on by slowly destroying all of it. but hey, we have this painting of what use to be here... do rich business people love irony more than hipsters or something?
*hipsters. even hipsters hate hipsters, and themselves. they're just like rich business people who make money off of oppression. i'll explain this further sometime when i'm drunk and in an art bashing mood. not that i don't like art...
*electoral politics. come on! people represent communities? these just become popularity contests, and a chance for the elite to convince us they want to fight for us. and a chance for the elite who do want to fight for us to become bogged down and bitter while they fight.
*internet comments. instead of discussing things in person we can say whatever the fuck we want with zero accountability. much like i'm doing right now...
*a lot of other things, i'm sure.

so, again, there are things i like about you. but a lot of things i don't. we can have a further conversation some other time, when i'm less mad at you and how lame you are, future.
