The heatwave in my area and the one on the opposite side of the country has me spooked. It feels like shit is speeding up and within a few years I'm going to look back on 2021 as the good times. :doomer:

      Pretty much this.

      I don’t even think the future will be that “glamorous” for billionaires either. We don’t have the infrastructure or tech for these fucks to run off into space. Most will die with no regrets in their walled compounds, a few might die from random suicide bombings etc. The coolest we’ll get is stacking burning tires in front of bunker air intakes and butchering a few as they emerge.

        It just floors me how us, the rabble, are expected to lay down and die. Neoliberalism is a fuck and has poisoned our minds. Jesus, how is there not constant riots and political upheaval over this?

            Logging off just isn’t an option when you have no other community to fill the voids in your life.

            This reminds me of something that black red guard on youtube once said, about how you have to get everyday people in your life, not just online, talking about socialism. I guess I have a bit of hope in how much leftism has made a comeback in the states, at least online, a lot of people are talking about it, enough to get the right nervous.
