It's downright awful out there

[get the red out]

26. I am with you

I'm not one that believes in the end coming soon for humanity, that would be too damn easy. I think everything will just limp along and before long even the veneerer of democracy will be dropped and people will just accept that we are to do as we are told and maybe we can have one or two shiny bobbles along the way. What's the point in even doing anything except trying to care for ourselves and what we cherish, and others we encounter along the way? No point in trying to change a world that is already lost. I don't think any big positive or sudden negative (to wake people up) will happen. People will just accept less and less freedom and happiness in exchange for more lies and control. So long as the cable works why should they care? If there needs to be fewer people there's another "war on terror" to be created. There are always bad guys of some sort to be conjured up to hate on, then they can just be left to die on the street because the TV said they deserved it.

That's the way I see the world, getting worse and worse without even the satisfaction of the final "oh shit" moment.
