The perfect storm

Ever since 2020 started it has been ever more clear that this is
going to be a hell of a decade. Four years in and we're already
becoming quite comfortable with a world in absolute chaos. Old
farts like to say that this is the "glass generation" (or something
like that idk), but I think we're getting pretty good at facing
wave after wave of absolutely batshit events. There's a global
market collapse looming around the corner? Well, bring it fucking
on, what else is there? The threat of a third world war? Ecological
collapse? A new pandemic!? We laugh in the face of everything
they're throwing at us, the absolute deranged madmen. Who was it
that gave them the reins of the world anyway? A looney shot the
Trump (probably at the orders of someone in the military-industrial
complex tbh) and Biden dies, isn't it ironic? I would have liked
him to live a little longer, to really soak himself in the
humilliation of having lost the race before it even started, not
just that but he successfully managed to take the whole empire down
with him! Oh wait, he's not dead yet? He's dead to me lol!
Who cares about the US anyway? They keep showing up in the news, I
would think by now Somalia is a far more interesting and relevant
country. In fact, I have made a new resolution, that I will no
longer consume anything coming from that gerontocratic, no,
senile-o-cratic third world shithole. It should not be too hard,
they hardly produce anything at all! Of course I am mostly talking
about "culture", not that they have much of that either, it's all
entertainment industry, and it has devolved into a bunch of youtube
critics going apeshit about the skin colour of the lead in the
latest remake of a 50 year old movie.
In a way I regret being still a mostly english speaker and being
stuck in the internet anglosphere, where I still get to talk about
all of this. But fret not, as ol' Jim used to say... this is the
end, my friend :-)
To be honest, I am very amused looking at the absolutely
devastating collapse of the whole illusion that they have built
through their declining "propaganda machine" and the loss of
confidence and belief in everything that they say have said or will
ever say again. I am nothing but happy to see every aspect of their
global hegemony being wiped in the face of a new reality that they
refuse to acknowledge, as they stick to tactics and methods wrought
in conditions that are no longer (and haven't been for quite a few
decades!) present, or real. It seems to me like they have actually
ended up believing all the make-believe they put forward in their
endless movies, all with the same script, about their might and
their high moral ground. I would usually feel bad for a lunatic
who's living in a reality of their own making, but not for
genocidal maniacs, for them I can only laugh as I see them end up
pissing themselves somewhere in a dark alley while everybody passes
no longer paying attention to the old lunatic.

This is not quite the comfy post, but, hey, whatever, I haven't
posted for a while, I might as well hit 'submit' when I get a rant
through to the end. Criticisms are welcome :-)
