Political Memes

The weird thing is it's kind of more bizarre than a dystopian society. In dystopia, you know resources are scarce and that you have to defend yourself with violence. But in this actual dystopia, I can still get up and go play disc golf, pretty much without incident. There could come a day when I'm pulled over by some Nazi cop who decides to make an example of me, which face it, has been the case for some time now, but until then for little things like that, it's pretty much business as usual despite the plummet into fascism. Very weird.

Isn't "everyone acting like it's normal" a dystopian nightmare trope?

Even when things aren't all fascist, we're still disposable wage slaves for the elite. And somehow that's what we're supposed to be working to maintain.

I see the housing bubbles all over the world and am glad I wasn't born 10 years later. I'm also screwed for not being born 10 years earlier.

I hate the state of things, but what drives me crazy is pushing it in people's faces and still watching them go back to school and work and talk about whatever typical bullshit they're thinking about.

All day everyday

Do you ever statement framed as a question?

The real question is what can we do about it

And pay the overwhelmed fee, no thanks.

Nice username

Okay, sure, the Faro plague has consumed all of Eurasia, but have you considered seeing a therapist?

I mean, let's be real.

It's gonna get a whole lot worse.

When the weight of the world feels overwhelming, remember this: Everything humans have ever done, every building, road, machine, and moment, makes up only a tiny fraction of this planet’s mass. We are small creatures, clinging to the surface of a vast, ancient, quietly turning sphere. The Earth itself is not in crisis. It simply is. Steady, silent, and endlessly patient. If human noise becomes too much, just place your hand on the ground. Feel the stillness. Let it remind you that you are connected to something far older, far larger, and far more enduring than any headline or heartbreak. The Earth will hold you.

Well people aren't having kids anymore so I guess we're doing what we can

But Momma, that's where the fun is

I mean... It is normal. But that's one of the things that sucks about it.

Yeah. Especially living in a society actively sliding towards some of the worst features described in some of the fictional worlds I enjoyed in novels coupled with a police state. It was never perfect, ever, but the amplification of the awful parts is really depressing.

Society has a lot of inertia.
