NWO Once you realize how uncivilized we are it’s hard to look at anything the same way. Ask a college graduate about Beowulf, ask a high school graduate about electricity generation, ask a PhD student about the Magna Carta. You’ll get scoffing, blank eyes, BORING/RACIST

Remember the Arthurian legend where the knight rescues the princess from the kidnapper; whereupon the princess scolds him for hurting her kidnapper? Then King Arthur locks him in a dungeon for hurting the kidnapper. After 10 years in the dungeon he is released, to farm potatoes.

Overton Reactionary memetic_sisyphus Exactly, all of our GDP goes towards totally new suburbs because the city is unliveable, cars to commute from said suburb, child care because your wife has to work to pay for the suburb, taxes to support the people who make the city unliveable

@PantheistRevolt OG Roland Rat (Parody) I believe that no one is in charge and that every decision is deferred to "experts" and committees who further defer to other experts and other committees until eventually someone is forced to sign off on something that no one ever designed

the conservative movement was genuinely conservative in the same way a loyal ancient or medieval chronicler would try to represent a series of conquering invaders as a story of steady dynastic succession

MyFitnessFeelings “The subway’s safe, right?” “Well, it’s safe in the sense that death is the only certain outcome of our lives, and you venturing into those hellish tunnels won’t change that. Nothing will.”

This is why the complaints about boomers are off the mark. There’s plenty of millennials who give the same self serving platitudes and actively bad advice (move away from your support network into a ghetto). Then call you entitled if you want your kids to know their grandparents

This will be the rock that the Ship of Musk will crash out on.

I think the Gen Z fetishization of a distended "normalcy" is one of the darkest harbingers of our national future.

captive dreamer The boomers never had to buy a shitbox and live in one room while they rebuilt everything. The typical house in the US was constructed right when they became homebuyers. They weren’t buying houses built in 1895 when they got started

Scott Greer 6’2” IQ 187 The economy is garbage for young people and the GOP is doing basically nothing to improve that beyond letting people run crypto scams. Letting Elon annoy feds (who live everywhere), tariffs, goofing around with SNAP, Israel. All pointless side quests which are draining energy

Upstream from the "terrible and out of touch job/life discourse" is the fact that this is the first time in history that young White men as a whole have had to stand up and ask "what am I supposed to be doing here in these conditions?"

>longest government shutdown in history >government still importing Indians on an industrial scale

Things the right wing needs more of: -blaming concrete physical problems on abstract spiritual entities -halfbaked economic policy straight from the peronist playbook -fully funded trips to Qatar immediately before adopting the Dubya II line on Islam -prayer and jesus, y’all

Mr. S.T.A.R. Most states are afraid of the US and simply want to stay as far away as possible. The US confers within itself and spits out insane delusions about how they’re all plotting to destroy it The US isn’t the world police, it’s the big homeless guy muttering to himself on the train
