I'll be honest with you folks. I try to be an upbeat guy. Accentuate the positive. Avoid dwelling on cynicism
But I see shit like this
I give up
All I'm thinking about is parallels to the fall of Rome. The same absurdity, excess, cruelty
My country is fucking toast. The entire country is an abused toy of incoherent plutocrat bro clowns now
Something is going to give. Something else is going to push back. None of it is going to be pretty
We're going to a dark place

@benroyce Y'know, this crap isn't too far off from trump demanding to seat one of his horses as a US Senator. It's Caligula shit.
We're an empire in decline, and history tells us how that usually goes. The question is, are we going to remain at Caligula-levels of screwed, or are we going to see Nero-level fuckery in our time?

Oh man, not sure what direction to start venting.
- Americans [the white ones] losing their sense of privilege "we're not a third world country" is a sign that things are really worrying, even if most still don't seem to care and will be too late when they do.
- Getting into some 1984-shit where two or three superpowers take over the world.
- My President
, being yelled by the opposition (voted for neither) for "caving in" to trump when she's doing her best to deal w/it.
