I saw this :reddit-logo: post and it got me thinking. Maybe it's the intense sleep deprivation, but I can't even muster the energy to be angry. I'm just sad. I know that individual choice is largely a psyop, but if at least a third of the populace actively wants things to be worse, how can we change things for the better? I know that there are many, many loving and wonderful and kind people all around this country. But as we're continually worked harder and harder and grow more and more impoverished, even the kindest souls will burn out. And what are we all up against? Not just the :porky-happy: elite, but the average swine whose main enjoyment in life is pissing off and upsetting anyone who wants things to be better. What can we even do against this?
I’ve been watching the Netflix show Beef with Steven Yeun and Ali Wong. It truly is the encapsulation of American culture. So fitting with all these stories of people shooting each other’s families over road rage or paranoid boomers killing people who cough on their lawn. The show is literally about two complete strangers who had no purpose in life until they met each other and now they can only think about spreading misery.
If I had to choose 3 pieces of media to show a foreigner what American culture truly is, I would show him Falling Down, Borat 1, and Beef.
Oh shit I'll have to watch that
