Our Current Dystopian Zeitgeist: Summarized

Comment: “I would totally stop paying my bills. But I can’t raise these kids without power to feed them”

Actually, sis, you can. You can raise children without electricity, right? If the defining factor in survival for the human population was electricity for hundreds of thousands of years, we would not have fucking existed. Now I’m not trying to encourage Americans to go back to the Stone Age.

I’m trying to get you guys to wrap your fucking head around the fact that what you are not willing to sacrifice on the front end to make a stand, you will inevitably have taken away from you on the back end when they take full and total control, which we’re only a fucking couple months away from. I don’t think anybody is registering the severity. The current administration has declared the United States of America a white Christian nationalist state.

The Department of War, which was recently rebranded to be called that instead of the Department of Defense, has declared for white Christian nationalism, and so has the president, and they’ve already started putting legislation in place. The FBI is now partnering with the Department of Homeland Security and local municipalities to hunt down what they now constitute as domestic terrorists, which they’ve now broadened the definition to include anybody who doesn’t agree with the political, economic, religious, or traditional family values of the current administration. Are you starting to get it? They are dropping billions of your fucking dollars into AI data centers to build a surveillance state that they’re now training the FBI and municipalities on to hunt down domestic terrorists, and then you have the implications of these AI data centers on the environment.

One man living next to an AI data center reported he lived in a studio apartment alone and his electricity was $651 a month. Can you afford $651 a month to feed your fucking kids? No, I don’t fucking think so. You compound that with the fact that the price of food has doubled, the price of gas has doubled, while simultaneously diluting it so that it burns faster and damages your vehicle in the process because they’re pumping it chock full of fucking ethanol.

We’re not even paying attention to what that shit is doing to the environment or these AI data centers. I won’t even get started on that. Your children’s education system has been defunded.

You don’t have fucking free health care. You can’t even safely send your children to school without worrying about them being a victim of a mass fucking pew-pewing. What are you even saying here? They put $180 billion into expanding ICE detention centers so they can equip them with incinerators to dispose of biological waste, a maximum capacity of 10,000 people, but not to exceed a stay of six fucking months, while also introducing legislation that would bring back the firing squad.

For the Department of Justice, not the military, the Department of fucking Justice wants to bring back death by firing squad while expanding ICE detention centers that work with municipalities. Your wages aren’t livable. Your housing isn’t affordable.

They are intentionally feeding you poisonous food, which by the way, is going to get increasingly worse because they’ve defunded the FDA, the CDC, the National Weather Association, FEMA. You have absolutely no social safety nets at all whatsoever. They want to get rid of Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP benefits, temporary assistance for needy families.

Eventually, Social Security is going to kick the budget because if you think people who take and take and take and take are suddenly going to be like, no, that’s taking it too far. You got things all the way fucked up. You don’t have freedom of speech.

You don’t have freedom of press. You don’t have the constitutional right to peaceful assembly. That’s under attack.

And so is your constitutional right to fucking bear arms. There is no taxation with representation. And this shit is quite literally the most out of control I have ever seen it in the history of the United States of America.

There isn’t a single former generation that would have sat and complained about this shit on the internet or made up excuses as to why they can’t sacrifice luxuries. Because by the way, obviously electricity is a fucking luxury. If it wasn’t, there wouldn’t be a bunch of survivors in tents on the fucking Gaza Strip still fighting for their fucking life.

Do you understand that your government has abandoned you? And then furthermore, it took all your goddamn money, spent it on hurting other people abroad and said, fuck you and anything that you need. And when we’re done hurting people abroad, we’re going to aim it at you because what the fuck else are we going to do with our spare time? If not torture the fucking masses, if the files are not a clear indicator of these people’s intentions, then I don’t know what is. If you have read the files and they did not terrify you, that the current person in charge of all of your fucking money is the most named person in those files.

I don’t know what is going to inspire you guys. I would sacrifice electricity. I would sacrifice my fucking Starbucks, my job.

I mean, you fucking name it. Any luxury I have, I would sacrifice if it could create an indefinite form of fucking freedom for the future generation. But y’all talk about how difficult it would be to raise children while fighting an oligarchy that has already declared war on you.

It’s not even optional. You got to start watering trees. You’re never going to eat fruit from we fucked up the present.

If you’re worried about your kids, then save their fucking future. Jesus Christ.
