It's all fucked

Really feels like everything's fucked. We're in a corporate dystopia where our corporate overlords decide what's true and what isn't and cunts are cheering it on, where the last embers of freedom are dying and the Totalitarianism of China is being exported across the globe. 1989-90 the communist countries fell like dominoes, seemingly every few days some new event, a communist government falling, a wall being torn down. The good guys had won, there was hope. I miss those days. And now, China is worse than Hitler's wet dreams and our corporate overlords are helping them export their nightmare. The entire west falling like dominoes, economic collapse and the end of freedom. It's all fucked. We're all fucked. The black pill tastes awful.

Anyway, let's go to the pub.

The Leftist party in Sweden wants to close to border not just to the UK (like the government already will do) but also to Denmark.

The same party who has been REEEing about how there are no such things as borders for years (decades?) now wants to close the borders.

Fuck them and their hypocrisy.

Just wanted to went this someplace and this seemed like a good place.

Keep up the good spirits OP. Sounds like a great time for you Brits to immerse yourself in video games.

In the US, the lack of unions is what makes me sad. Every job you work will likely screw you and your only option is to get a job somewhere where they still use lube.

The price of everything around you will go up except your pay.

Watched this version the other day - the AI assisted coloring felt like I'd had a dose of shrooms:




Comments are are on point.

The Inner Party, Outer Party and the Proles have never been as pronounced as now.

Yeah - we're screwed.

There have been better times, but also worse. We are still in a present where war (in western countries) is rare, with a historic peace between European nations. The standard of living in western countries is high and social security is pretty good in most European countries. Of course it is a constant struggle to maintain the achievements of the past and to not fall for new dangers, but this is not a bad time to live in.

Yep. Actually it's a great time to live in.

I love the 80ies, but I also remember being constantly scared of nuclear rockets from the CCCP killing me and everyone I know.

It wasn't all watching Star Wars, BMX bikes and playing Atari VCS.

I dunno.. maybe I'm just grumpy as fuck. Working my balls off, doing 4 fucking people's jobs, I'm shattered. Mother-in-law is a fucking idiot who for the second time has nearly killed my cat. Did a 7 hour journey to Scotland on Saturday in a mad rush with borders closing, cat puked after 30 minutes and in the rush we'd not packed anything to deal with it, aquaplaned at 70mph and saved it but shat bricks, I've had fuck all sleep, maybe the problem is me rather than the world. Nerves are frayed beyond belief.

Seems bad maybe but for us is is great. We are still poor but we are homogeneous, still value our culture, family and country. We might still have corrupt as fuck politicians but our countries are our own.

And the best part was each muslim or refugee family the EU cucked Latvia into taking, as soon as they got their residence permits they moved to Germany for better gibs, the news papers were even keeping track and seeing how long it took each one to leave.

But we do have Russia as a neighbor.

still 100% better than the UK or France situation. A great shame that the west has had the idea of being proud of your country and culture as bad thing, it really helps you weather the bad times knowing worst come to worst you are home and proud.

Good luck friend

Try to find a moment for yourself to calm down.
Maybe find your happy place..

Not that exciting. Wife's Scottish, we were planning Christmas in Scotland but weren't planning to move quite yet but then Sturgeon decided the borders were closing so we bundled everything including two cats into the car (one puked - the smell was horrendous but we didn't have anything and services shops were closed - managed to blag some blue roll), definitely forgot a whole bunch of stuff, and I drove like a complete asshole to get over the border before midnight - the most exciting bit was probably being sideways on the motorway at 70mph. Turns out I didn't need to bother as the police aren't enforcing shit.

Social media was a big problem, but the biggest problem of the internet age has been giving China a means of influencing and subverting our culture.

True, they also use social media for that though. In general big corporations and shit countries like China have way more influence on us compared to the good old days where you just went to the shop and didn't hear anything from them.

Wait, those are some communist or some right wing nutters, normal leftist probably does not want shit like that. Things could be different in Sverige, tho.

..on the other hand you could have been born to a generation where you ended up going 'over the top' at the Battle of The Somme or having to storm the beaches at Normandy at 18yrs old.

Have u thought about using this anxiety to fuel something else, like a creative outlet? Be it music, art, writing etc

This maybe a better use of these thoughts instead of posting on here
 
I think there's definitely scope for a sci-fi series about a black market smuggling ring that transports disgruntled modern era people to the 80's where they can live out their life in 80's happiness instead of the modern woke nightmare.
