I used to like to use the automated checkout lines to act confused when a item didn't scan then try again then put it in my cart like I was trying real hard and got it the truth is I didn't, by design, and that $16 of ground beef is just my little wha of giving myself socialism

too much of a coward now though

Full luxury automated communism requires that most physical labour eventually be done by machines, and increased unemployment under capitalism from the automation of entire professions wholesale will accelerate the crisis of capitalism and force society to rethink its understanding of "working to earn a living", so actually automation is good and we need a lot more of it. It'll be really easy to seize the means of production in lights-off fully-robotic factories and warehouses when all you need is the admin login and password.

I only leave my apartment approximately once every two weeks to buy groceries like milk that I can't get delivered to my door via Amazon Prime Pantry and I only go to the nearest Wal-Mart at 2AM to avoid human beings and at that time only the automated checkout lanes are open so I have no choice.

But I prefer that to real human cashiers anyway so.

holy smokes thats strange

Really, it comes to the small things that you can do to make a difference for the big picture. It exists, and you just have to look for it. We have a finite amount of time on this planet and at the end of the day, what keeps you up at night and what makes you sleep at night is all the difference. Its fine to be sad, and please be. It's important to process it but never bogged down in it because the here and now is happening.

After you re-evaluate that yes, some people are poo poo, some people aren't, you just have to realize that it really doesn't take a lot to be considerate and help others and it involves courage. That's the intrinsic issue with American society, is that courage is doublespeaked as a projection for jingoism and empty tough talk rhetoric conservatives love to tack on rather than having to get up and really face the issue at hand and finding a way to address it, even if it doesn't get solved initially. They're wholly motivated by fear, and its erratic as gently caress.

It takes time to process it so imo once you land on your feet, you should consider perhaps pursuing something towards your community in your life to effect positive change. Easy to talk it, harder to try, but the point is to try and it involves real courage.
