My theory is that Covid killed everyone and this is purgatory. (TikTok screencap)

“I just got a great idea for a new novel! It’s about the end of humanity, but with a twist, because the humans don’t even know they are done for yet. They think it’s just a bit more aggressive flu, but in fact it’s highly contagious and each time you get it, it damages your brain a slight bit more. Everyone keeps getting infected and so they slowly get dumber and more aggressive until civilization collapses in wars and economic chaos.”
“That’s stupid, something like that could never happen.”
The flu is one thing, all of the toxins we are exposed to from companies trying to save a buck is everywhere as well. This is like some 1984 shit we are heading right now. More dangerous chemicals than ever being allowed into our water, our air, and our food. The flu and the covids are just icing on the cake. And I think I have noticed people getting Dumber from the 90s. Not starting in 2020 starting before that.
agreed, except that the “getting dumber” really only started around 2010 or so…
*2016 was the last normal year.
Let’s not forget the chaos and societal upset during the first term.
Edit: I guess it would actually 2015 as the last normal year. 2016 started with Harambe and ended with the far-right winning an election and a Nazi parade honoring trumps election.
Bruh we as Americans have such a short attention span/memory I stg.
His first term was “BUILD THE WALL”, “CHECK THE BAFROOMS”, “SHUT DOWN BASES IN EUROPE” and “NO MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS ALLOWED!!!”
None of these ideas he’s espousing are new, they’re just more hateful and damaging. He just got slightly better at understanding politics/government, so now he’s more dangerous/efficient.
Yeah, there was too much infighting and incompetence for him to do as much damage in the first term. His cabinet was dropping like flies the first term and we’re almost 8 months in and nobody’s been fired yet
“With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.”
It was Harambe. We didn’t reload.
We were saying this elsewhere, and someone posted a link claiming the real cause was like a week before Harrambe, a rat I think it was crawled into the Hadrian collider I think while on, in switzerland I think they are accelerating particles to study Physics bullshit, higgs boson something.
There was a theoretical possibility they could have started a chain reaction that would destroy the world they were saying when they were talking about building it fyi.
Anyway though this rat got in there when it was on and they are saying that through the timeline off, a week before harambe.
Harambe wasn’t marked as Essential, but he was truly essential for all of us.
2014*
1975 is the beginning of the end for the US Empire. The treasury spent on a dumb war in SE Asia, Reaganomics and his trickle down BS, Gulf War I & II (wasting more treasure). Krasnov, COVID and fucking Krasnov again.
1972 was the genesis, there was a business Round Table where the rich and Powerful companies agreed on a long game to overthrow democracy and undo the gains from the New Deal. They have since refined the game, and destroyed any organized opposition. Also obviously had worthless conservatives on their side take over the Democratic Party.
2016*
We will make any excuse for these issues to not be deeply rooted in our civilization, huh
The vaccine was really just a sedative; they kidnapped you and plugged in you to the matricksssssssss
2018 for chile
In 2010 they tried to create micro black holes, since this hat not worked the probability for extra dimensions is somewhat limited, at least that is what we believe. But maybe something went wrong back in 2010.
Ah the good old Futurological Congress by Lem. Read it, the movie is a mess.
There is a movie?
Barely.
It’s called mass psychosis.
In a very real sense we do li:e in a fantasy world, where the pervasive oppositional disingenuous bullshit and disinformation have poisoned us, and we trust the shit we made up to process stuff as high level abstractions without necessarily tying them back to anything remotely near bare-metal material reality.
And tyen when people find exploits in tjose abstractions, there is no recourse, nothing to check them against.
Reality is happening, but we do not comprehend it.
Edit: if you want fiction about this, the book ‘echopraxia’ has this running through it, or the film ‘eddington’ which is entirely about this.
At this point, anything remotely near bare-metal material reality triggers such a cognitive dissonance in a lot of folks, on account of all of the bs they have in their heads, that all of that bare-metal material reality is discarded as too painful.
I know it’s cliche, but i think capitalism deserves a lot of the blame.
What we have now is capitalism, but it is other things as well. Some say late stage capitalism. It is a plutocracy. It is becoming even more of a kakistocracy, rule of the worst. It was borderline fascist and now becoming moreso.
We had capitalism in the 1950s through the 1970s, and we had a pretty prosperous society, for whatever faults the system had, anybody with a job could live a decent life, which is the overriding concern of everybody, not living in destitute poverty.
They have changed the way inflation is measured a number of times to understate it, and now we are compound fucked by 50 years.
Social Security checks would have been worth $1,200 more on average a month just in 2008 under the unchanged standard. We are getting robbed everyday by inflation and we believe the ivy league suits on TV that tell us our wages have never had more buying power.
capitalism in the 50s
Weird, because in china they call what we had in the 50s communism (it’s what they’re doing now). They’re not more or less correct than you are.
Tgough i should note thatvwhat youre saying is true for white men.
inflation is the problem!
The concept of ownership being valued over labor snd basing our economy on a nonsense points system we equate with virtue is a bigger problem
The minimum wage applied to everybody outside of agricultural work. So the minorities that did not share in an exalted social status, still had enough money to live a dignified life.
I specifically addressed that so I would not have somebody discounting the lessons from the post-war era because not everything was perfect. It’s not perfect now either by the way, so you can discount everything from today or any period in time with that logic.
We are being robbed and you are addressing some abstract concept, and not the means by which we have been robbed. Inflation is a real measured thing we could reset our wages and raises on. I think you are wrong headed on all of your points here.
Capital being valued over labor is not mutually exclusive with addressing us being robbed by dishonest numbers.
You act like a shitty unjust system of exploitation can ever be made just.
Like the abstractions youve been trained to hold dear are ‘real’ and not abstractions so many fucking degrees out. ‘Money’ and ‘inflation’ are fake. We made them the fuck up. Outside of systems designed to value them theyre entirely nonsense.
Yes we’re being robbed, thats the nature of labor when ownership is valued above it! When accumulation and centralization is the fundamental incentive! The very system was designed to lie and exploit, yes, of course its doing that. Why do you tjink the fuckers lying to you and exploiting you love it so much?
You act like you can fix a bisection with a band-aid. Like you can fix something so thoroughly broken without fundamental systemic change.
Like, metaphor time: combustion engines are bad, but switching to electric cars powered by coal power plants isn’t really better. You get that right? We need trains, ideally powered by overhead wire renewables, so we arent hauling 2-10 tons of vehicle around for every hundred pounds of human. And maybe more local production of heavy shit.
Like, you sre right. There is injustice. And im not, like, a fan of tjose things, but i think the system is much more fucked than you think it is.
You have no cause to accuse me of not seeing things like they are first of all.
Second of all you just refuted my own point while agreeing with me. You could have just added to my point, but you refused it and then expounded on the same subject.
The inflation rate is a real tangible thing people can understand, that shows how full of shit the system has been for our entire lives.
Sure, but I’d wager it goes beyond the singular manifestation of power as money. Plenty of other manifestations, and all lead to similar places.
Its not about the money directly, it’s about the alienation from things like labor and value, plus absolutely insane shit people need to believe to feel okay in it.
I think 2016 was the last great year.
It got better in 2021 for a bit.
The moment when Harambe died was when the timeline split.
Nah, Bowie.
I still remember listening to Blackstar when I heard he passed. There was something so weird and ethereal about that moment I tend to agree thats when things went from bad to shit.
Listening to that album with the knowledge that he wrote it knowing it would be released posthumously broke me
we all know Harambe split the timeline. Nothing was the same after that.#neverforget
Shits been weird since Leonard Nimoy died. So make that 2015.
Basically at long as taco is in the office it will be miserable.
The bad things is that in first term there was that there were still competent people around him. This time he fired everyone and replaced with lackeys. Unless he is stopped, US might not recover from it.
Just looking at the recent meeting in Bejing shows how quickly USA is losing its power. And it’s been only 7 months.
I think it’s the other way around actually.
The first time nobody expected Trump to win, so they didn’t have a plan what to do if he did.
The second time they had a plan called Project 2025 and they are going through it more or less point by point now.
It was kind of a meme that 2016 sucked. Then Trump got elected at the end and everything magically got better for everyone and we all lived happily ever after.
(Do I really need to include the /s here?)
For real, how short is the meme maker’s memory? We went truly off the rails during the first Trump admin.
I relate 100% with this. How funny. Like, that’s perfect.
