    I wonder if we’re actually getting worse or if it’s just easier for the scum to coordinate and to some degree also be more visible due to the internet.

    It is starting to feel like things used to be better, like we’re spiraling out of control.

    There were more and more mass shootings, the alt right/extremists are spreading like a wild fire all over the globe, shit like this keeps happening.

    I mean what the fuck? Where are we heading? And why? :/

      I feel like the pendulum swings on the cruelty (at least in areas of the world we pay attention to…), while the damage caused by human civilization just keeps growing and growing. And it’s definitely easier for the scum to coordinate through the internet, but also to recruit and infiltrate minds.

      I’m just sitting here being nihilistic, “Après moi, le déluge” about everything, and listening to my “collapse” playlist. The relatives I used to love went full Qanon, so I only have my cat to worry about, now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
