Nothing happening is exactly what I want. I want life to be so boring that I can wake up in the morning and KNOW that no one is scheming yet more ways to ruin my country or stomp on my rights.
Read Camus, go absurdist, enjoy life. It's so easy.
I agree with the premise, but it is not easy to reprogram a lifetime of conditioning.
Sounds like you haven't read enough Camus
Maybe not 🤪
True peace is the opportunity to find joy. If you haven’t the means to read a book, or take the time to enjoy a coffee, or take a walk, etc. then everything is not fine.
spoken like a true leftist.
Spoken from a place of true privilege.
I like my trolley rides without screaming.
What I wouldn't give for a ride like that nowadays
Screaming is just as exhausting and meaningless as not screaming.
That's btw one of the many reasons why people want to go to Mars. Adventure and excitement guaranteed.
Maybe we can tie someone down on the tracks, that'll spice things up.
Oh, I'm screaming, dw
lies
Welcome to the good place
Plenty of people are screaming.
This meme would have worked a lot better a few years ago. Hell, even a few months ago.
Life is no longer uneventful, the trolly's brakes have been cut and it is on fire, there are clearly people tied to the tracks and the trolley is already rolling over them.
It was supposed to be space travel... It was supposed to be space travel..
Screaming? That was a couple of miles ago. Everyone on the tracks was screaming. Then they went quiet. Now its just getting warmer and warmer. Can't wait to finally get to Auschwitz and take a shower like the guards said to do!
Snowpiercer, except there's no real plot or change. You are in the car you're in, period.
All the characters in the Neighborhood of Make Believe are just trapped in a trolley problem.
