I get excited during wildfire season.
Maybe my house will burn down and I’ll get to go on a road trip for a few months while it gets sorted out…
oh come on, haven’t you seen Elon’s new car? It’s all like vrroooom skeeeerrr pssshhh! Finally a solution to all those half pipes out there.
So there’s hope.
It’s clear these people aren’t thinking big enough. We need a very large asteroid to hit the earth. I don’t want society to fall apart, I want it all gone. There won’t be an apocalypse to survive because everyone would be dead.
Bonus points for enough dust in the air to reverse global warming
I’m in this post and I don’t like it
Just getting silly here, but what if the people who are harmed by the system come together and abolish the system, because they are the majority?
That would require a level of solidarity that doesn’t exist and a solid plan for what comes after, which no one has.
Most likely a bunch of stupid, selfish, assholes will co-opt whatever rises out of that and things will get just as bad only with worse infrastructure this time.
They can’t; they’re too busy posting online daring someone else to do it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some 90 Days of Real Housewives of Whatever to binge.
There’s a word for that, but whenever I start typing it into my phone a bunch of police drones start to buzz my building.
I hate it, but I’ve been feeling this for a while now
The thing I love the most about The Last of Us is the silence and nature
COVID, TAKE ME AWAY!
I think one of the biggest issues is that nothing is real anymore. 90% of what 90% of us do is utterly meaningless. For the average person, life is entirely solved. Our problems are mostly by choice, be it ours or someone else’s. The only real things in our lives are tragedies that we’d never have been able to prevent or resolve anyway.
An apocalypse is enticing because then our actions would have direct consequences. Right now, the consequences of our actions are filtered and diffused through a trillion layers of bullshit where the positive and negative effects are basically invisible unless you make a ridiculous amount of money very quickly, or like, kill someone with your car.
“We’ve reached a point where Americans would rather the world fall apart than get off their cowardly asses and do something.”
It’s always the same
The fact that plenty of them, most famously that poster-boy for 'Murican shit Henry Ford was a huge fan of Hitler and his bullshit gets glossed over
They sat out the war until they were pushed
And it will happen again and again, even when the problem is in their own house
yeah this motivates pretty much every isekai anime series.

Watch for when Zombie/apocalypse movies start getting popular again.
It’s absolutely a sign of mass despair at “the system”.
Zombies make everyone equal again. The executive actually becomes dead weight compared to folks who have spent their lives doing physical or practical labour.
Me in France right now.
My therapist told me that, in fact, it’s not normal to wish to be hit by a bus on the way to work every morning just so you could escape from going to work.
I am bad about not looking when I cross at crosswalks. Someone asked me about it once, “If they hit me hard enough it won’t be my problem anymore.”
