Sometimes, when I am feeling good, I just think it's all the bullshit collapsing.

Just decades, centuries of bullshit being laid bare in an ultra connected ultra fast world.

We all know the people in charge are rich assholes who've had the game rigged for them by history, money, and fawning sycophants who won't hold anyone accountable.

Feels weird to wake up to the fact we have been fed a line of bullshit forever, but now it is just too painfully obvious for anyone to ignore and pretend anymore while the world burns under our technology.

The reality is they're still afraid of us, so don't give up yet. Almost all of their power comes from our anxieties and a paper currency they've reinforced, but you need to remember they are the ones building bunkers.

What keeps me going is knowing that the fear of having their wealth taken absolutely destroys their happiness. There are so many invisible prosperous and successful people WHO KNEW WHEN TO QUIT and go fishing.

The sad monsters who won’t have the epiphany they can easily afford to indulge need intervention for their sake and ours.

lol, like bunkers are impregnable.

Great movie!

Reference please?

The Dirty Dozen

I’m glad they did it. Great picture.

Thanks I couldn’t remember the title.

With each passing day we lose more rights. Considering tourism, don't. You'll get locked up and sent back. I'm so ashamed. If I could afford it, I'd sell everything and move to mexico

What is this picture?

and sent back.

...to El Salvador. Nice beaches there.

Are they though?

"We" broadly sit out here and post memes and then choose not to debate our friends and family who can't hold a conscious thought because it's so much easier to retreat to discord and argue with people already on your side.

We're not doing anything. Marches were fine, great... we didn't keep it up though, and nobody exploited that momentum. We don't purge our Democrat leadership who are not actually opposing anything, and we only pay attention to politics when it's the WWE theater spectacle of federal elections and utterly ignore who is on our school boards and who is running our county and towns.

We scroll endlessly for dopamine hits and escapism while learning to turn off our conscious thought and medicate our discomforts instead of rallying together for broad-scale change. We are ineffectual at best. Most of us are dumber than shit and have no interest in anything past celebrity gossip and clickbait.

I would argue the wealthy, corporate nazi-loving assholes in the world might be miserable inside, but they're absolutely not afraid. They are so massively overconfident that they sell you things you didn't ask for every day and have no qualms about openly supporting fascism so it makes their profits go up.

It's exactly because they're not afraid that things got to this point.

I remember back after the 2008 Crash how the UK Government just went for Austerity and gave the money to asset owners (i.e. the rich) so that in the subsequent years the bottom 90% of the population in average saw their income falling at 1% per year in real terms (per the official figures, which themselves tend to understate Inflation) whilst the top 10% saw their incomes in average go up 23% per year.

Meanwhile in France the wealthy were actually telling their Government to tax them more (I kid you not!).

Britain never had a Revolution of the masses (the closest, was the Barons rebelling against the King, which resulted in the Magna Carta, which was just the elites redistributing power amongst themselves), whilst France is well known for their use of the device favored by Monsieur Guillotin.

Couple of storm chasers having fun with a moderately powerful tornado.

For reference, that tornado is likely to be at least 4-5 km away from them for them to be that unconcerned
