it reeks of the lib habit where thing upsets them, so they just say "thing bad lol" with zero acknowledgement of what actually caused thing.

covid was caused by hypercapitalism and colonialism which forced poor people to go further into the wilderness and make more contact with bats and shit.

then it was amplified by the west's atrocious toddler-tier response of doing literally nothing with a 4-month advanced notice

2020 doesn't suck, your country does. It's like how redditors say "FUCK CANCER" it's just holy shit you're a fucking actual infant

    I let the trailer for that "death to 2020" series play, and took a heavy notice of them calling 2020 "the most historic year in history". I guess I get that they can't not say that, since it's a trailer and meant to hype you up to watch the series, but yeah it drips with liberal "end of history" ideology. Americans couldn't imagine something real happening to them, since nearly fuckall has happened in the past 50 years (you got 9/11 sure but is there any other moments where crazy history-book shit went down on a national scale?)

      The most historic year in history?! COVID is bad but it’s not exactly this epoch defining moment. It’s an historical year sure, but the most historic year in recorded history? Fuck off Black Mirror you bunch of pseudo-intellectual ninnies. 2020 was a bad year for a lot of people, but to think it was the worst time for mankind reeks of historical illiteracy and narcissism.

        It's probably the most historical year for the average American, and Americans tend to only see the world from their point of view. So I get why they're saying it but it's still really telling of the privilege in that statement alone tbh.

        Yeah I don't know why it was advertised as 'from the creators of black mirror'(not to mention the title recalls the hate in the nation episode very strongly) like it was supposed be a dark sci-fi, it was actually a (relatively) humorous mockumentary style look back at the year, had it on in the background but highlights include Samuel L Jackson calling Bernie an 'anarchist grandpa' and the world most average woman played by Jen from the IT crowd (the 'just a regular mom' who turn out to be Q /plandemic pilled was pretty spot on, and Sarah Michelle Geller as Sarah Huckabee Sanders was pretty funny if very lib)

        Anyway It give it a 3 or 4 and wouldn't recommend it really, but in their defense 'the most historic year in history” isn't meant to be taken seriously

            I thought you were doing a thing on how 1933 was the most central year in history.

              It's the Core of Time, yeah, but it's an arbitrary designation, I can't explain why I picked it, or did it pick me?
              Having looked at it closely in a non-judgmental way (as best as I have been able), I can say that everything that was going on then is going on now, only wearing a different skin.
              Today is the last post.
