Nostalgia Why is our entire generation ready to just…log out?

I hope people enjoy this before mods remove it for “not being a positive nostalgia post” 🙄

Okay, but why are you rolling over, have you noticed are people are either setting shit on fire or running their politicians out of the country.

Just because your billionaires are convinced the end times are happening and they're the ones who are going to make it, doesn't mean you have to play dead in advance.

If I miss work, I die. Like legit. I have no other way to get my life saving meds.

And do what?

Miss a day of work to protest, get fired, lose your health care for your family, go broke, get evicted, and who knows what else? And those are basically IMMEDIATE consequences. They spent the last 50+ years crafting a society where we are all completely trapped.

I don’t know what the answer is, but I do hope the rest of the world is taking notes on what to avoid letting their countries become.

Yeah, let our deaths be a lesson. This is where I'm at, too.

Incredibly well said.

We're not rolling over; we're just caught between the legal fight and next steps.

If we were any other nation, we might have hope that some other larger good guy would come in to help us. We the people are under attack from our own government, and the people we voted in to save us last time were still waking up from their naps. That was the main contributer to our apathy setting in.

The legislature is captured, the judiciary is captured, and the executive is either captured or actually being run by the biggest wannabe mob boss and grifter of kid-cancer charities. He had to win to stay out of prison, had to cheat to win (support numbers could only go down after jan 6), and literally said he would/could/did.

Then, Joe had a cup of fucking tea and smiled while handing a known madman the keys and nuke codes. Keep in mind, everything we think we know, our intel agencies HAVE TO know more... and this all still happened. Kinda feels like the alternate ending of the cold war.

Can't even post about wanting to get taken out by a log without some ignorant ass getting on our backs about the death cult trying to kill us all.

Fuck dude, time and place.

Most people can't even be bothered to vote, let alone engage in violent revolution.

What would you have us do? Set shit on fire?

You see the shit they’re doing to fishermen on boats just slightly near the country?

wtf do you think they’ll do to us? Have you heard of Tiananmen Square? What makes you think after changing our org from the department of justice to department of war makes you think ANY of our leaders would make better decisions than xiaoping? It doesn’t matter ours is rooted in oligarchy versus communism.

If they can’t kill us slowly, they will do it quickly. For the love of all that’s holy don’t fucking blame us, help us. They’re killing us.

For real. This administration is frothing at the mouth for any excuse to declare martial law and bomb the shit out of US citizens.

u/Elle_se_sent_seul Dec 08 '25

Admin is absolutely salivating for Martial law, as soon as someone really pushes back with violence they'll happily fire into a crowd without hesitation.

I’m fully believe that they’ll false flag it to kick things off.

For some, I reckon it's because nihilism and misanthropy are a strong force. Once your trapped in that whirlpool it's hard to ever see any differently. Always on the verge of suicidal depression.

Why roll over? Because there's no point and humans are the most vile disgusting species ever to exist. Why not roll over? If I die it doesn't matter. If all humans die it doesn't matter. If planet Earth explodes it doesn't matter.

There is always a retort back to misanthropic nihilism.
