Political Memes

I love how it only recognizes the "recessions" as those that impact rich people. The metrics are fucked. We've been in a recession since 2008.

Probably not better if you were born in 1900. You were born in an European Monarchy. Life is not exactly free, but stable and prosperous.

Some psycho stabs a queen, and all of a sudden all of Europe and a lot of the rest of the world is at war. Most of Europe is razed to the ground and millions of soldiers return with heavy PTSD.

The monarchy is done, you got a completely new system in Europe and a communist revolution in Eastern Europe/Russia.

Times such, but stability returns for a few years until the Great Depression hits and boom, we got Nazis, holocaust, and yet another world war, which is ended by a literal science fiction weapon that can raze whole cities to the ground at the press of a button.

And now your country is occuped by a foreign army, while everything has to be rebuilt.

Seriously, the phase from 1955-2000 was an anomaly. That was pretty much the most peaceful time in world history. Before that, constant wars, pagues, starvation and general horrors were the norm, not the exception.

We watched the second plane hit live on a shitty CRT in my Geography class. Shit was insane. I'm so damn tired...

I just joined the Bundeswehr (the german army) a couple of weeks before 9/11. I still remember that I thought "You idiot really have managed to join the military right at the beginning of WWIII..."

I can't remember why but I didn't go to school that day. I remember finding out because I was arguing with my brother about what movie to watch, then complaining to my mom, and her freaking out going "You're complaing about this when there's a national crisis going on?!"

Don't forget Columbine. People always leave that out, but as far as historical milestones that shaped how awful American society has become, it was a big one.

...and they hardly notice anything because their eyes are glued to TikTok..

I'm 40

Some of us proto-millenials were already on active duty in the military on 9/11

That shit was insane

I'm so fucking over this shit yall. Don't forget the corporate takeover and surveillance dystopia created by quite possibly the biggest dork losers that are alive. What the actual fuck? Need a genocide. Check. Civil rights collapse? Check. Financial meltdown? Check. Pandemic that kills millions? Check. Collapse of the dollar for shitcoin scams? Check pending. Terrorist attacks that convince your country for 20 years of wars? Check. No more war excuses, and need more? No worries, we'll just recycle the same one from 25 years ago because y'all couldn't do shit about it then either. They have nukes so we have to attack.

Now, go be a good citizen and participate in some blind nationalism and virtue signaling with your pledge of allegiance to an inanimate object while simultaneously and intentionally starving brown kids by the thousands.

Can't a giant EMP come and save us? I'm so tired.

I'd rather getting all out of the way before I'm 30, so I can rule the wastelands.

I guess millennials forgot the 90s where ww3 was just lingering around the corner.
