we've been abandoned by our government (not that they cared anyways), and we're forced to go to work because of that fact. Individualism and american exceptionalism has poisoned the country, no one gives a fuck about each other, and we're all gonna fucking die because of some fucking rich colonials that thought we were special

    I go back an fourth on it. I was really hoping this would be the thing that got all the senators that lived till 90 because we banned smoking. Like, deep down I wanted this to be the big catastrophic thing that broke the back of the world and let good stuff start happening. Like how some historians talk about the black plague being one of the major antecedents to the renaissance. It's blackpilled, I know, but there is no way this is going to have a happy ending so hope feel s foolish.

    It is hard to see the results of it so I just feel numb sometimes just knowing somehow it is churning through people faster than ww2 when I am not looking. Like, maybe if I turn around fast enough I can see the world rotting out of the corner of my eye type stuff. I just feel the pressure building up somehow.

        I think that this does represent some kind of of paradigm shift. Just try figure out what it is, and try to prepare for what comes next. The economy hasn't even finished bottoming out you know? We got climate change putting up some big numbers. Another strain is possible. It is going to take a decade for this to all sort out, easily, and there is no way I know what the world will look like at that time yet.

            Our ancestors thought the same of leopards. I think that most people in most of thr world have felt like tbis for a long time and ws are just learning to remember it.

          Is bad as it sounds, we are only a year into this. I could be wrong, who tf knows, but we are probably just at the start of all this.
