this is the real answer. every level of our society is built upon slave labor that never stopped, it just became nationalized. we can't nationalize the power grid, health care, and we're un-nationalizing education, but we can sure as poo poo run for profit prisons with slave labor for the richest people on earth to keep profits soaring.

I'd say it's the pigs with tanks and the people who like the pigs having tanks and the loving tech billionaires giving the proletariat slave jobs through their phones and the daily mass shootings and the people who refuse to give up their right to experience daily mass shootings cuz some twat said something about liberty and safety once. Or how the government is openly paid by corporations to keep things totally locked in place, ensuring that things only get worse forever and also how when you look at the American flag you get the same guttural revulsion to a symbol of evil like with the swastika. Except that there are probably one million times more American flags being displayed right now than whatever peak world swastika flag quantity was/is. And Disney. And the loving ads. And parking. And shopping. And eating. And working. Somewhere, somehow, they're different now, none of 'em are the same, they all got chewed up and spit back out, and they don't taste like living anymore! Don't you see what it's like in this deranged Whirring Blender of a world?! Every day is an agonizing ordeal, like balancing a pot of scalding water on your head while people whip your legs and butt … Aaaah, you never forget your senior prom … YOU think I'm "sick"?! Well the only disease I've got is "Modern Life," a schnutbusting gauntlet of inefficiency and misery that's one long parade of let-downs, put-downs, trickle downs, shutouts, freeze outs, sell-outs, numnuts, nincompoops and nimrods, all making every day as much fun as waxing a flaming Pontiac with your tongue, where even if you do luck into the possibility of some fleeting pleasure, like, say, if some nymphomaniac telephone operator with the muscle control of Romanian mat-slappers agree to a little strip air hockey, it'll be over before it starts 'cuz some vowel-lacking, feta-reeking cab-jockey slams his checker up your hatchback and the cab is owned by some pinata spanker from a Santeria cult in Xoacalpa who starts shaking chicken bones at you and gives you a boil on your neck so big all it needs is Michael Jordan's autograph to make it complete, and even with all this, with ALL THIS, I still drag my sorry butt off the Sealy every morning and stick my face in the reaping machine for one more day, knowing when it's time to flash the cosmic card key at those Pearly Gates, I won't be in the coffin anyway 'cuz some underhanded undertaker sold my heart, pancreas and other assorted Good 'N' Plenty to that same Santeria cult so does anybody really wonder why anybody is hanging onto sanity by the atoms on the tips of their fingernails while life dirty-dances on their digits, and is it really any wonder that I seem DERANGED???!!

You have the technology to peer into the lives of people in other countries and see how much better they have it. You come to realize you're living in one of the worst and most dangerous first world countries and that you could have had it so much better. It's like living in Dante's Limbo where you aren't really in Hell, but your punishment is having to look into heaven and realizing you'll never get there.

I think you are mistaken about the Trump thing.

I mean sure, from our perspective its super hosed.

But none of that had happened yet in the 90s. In the 90s he was just a random business man as far as anyone knew. I think he even talked about a potential bid in like 1988, but decided against it.


I don't think anyone would really be shocked about surveillance either.

Also you all forgetting the US murder rate in the 90's was nearly double what it was today?


Jan 6 would IMO be the most shocking thing to tell someone in the 90s.

Maybe corporation buying up huge swathes of housing to set up as AirBnB "hotels" too.
