I'm part of society and just collapsed from a panic attack.
I''m doing my part!
Cut to a billionaire pushing orphans into the orphan crusher.
I'm doing my part.
Cut to individual in black block throwing a Molotov cocktail.
I'm doing my part.
That's Žižek's dream. "You gotta go out and revolt, but one day, I hope we'll find the big magic button and the whole system comes crashing down at once" or something like that.
That big magic button is the red button that launches nukes.
Society isn't collapsing because everyone keeps driving to work in a crying mess every day.
exactly. we are always one general strike away from big transformation.
My nephew is voting for Trump because "I can't afford a house so I'm hoping he'll crash the economy."
Ah, the President Cheney strategy.
Does he understand if that happens then along with housing market, the job market will also collapse? Unless he has few millions stashed away, he isn't going to buy a house in Trump's second term.
He's not very smart.
So like is it a family thing or is he just an oddball
He's on the spectrum and is a bit of an incel. I think he's fallen into the Joe Rogan and 4chan rabbit homes. So while the rest of the family is very blue, he's definitely the oddball.
If you want to live in a post-societal-collapse there's no one stopping you from squatting in the ruins of an abandoned town or village. There are thousands of ghost towns all over the world.
Give it another 10 days
Hah, I haven't been able to work or function as a person for 15 years. I still feel this way every day, just the basic things needed to survive are bad enough.
Zombies apocalypse when?
We're already there, half the country is brain dead and operating on instinct
Yeah but I still have to go to work.
