NaBarney Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Can we just have a downer thread for bad moods, bad feelings and lamenting how bad it really is to be alive on this dying planet in the midst of an unnamed perpetual world war and ongoing mass extinction directly caused by us living our shitty lives The shittiest fucking hollow apes destroying the world for themselves and almost every other living thing because they absolutely require AC and cheeseburgers and a dozen single use plastic cockwipes every day Doing "work" that keeps the system of drive-thru cheesemeals and iPhone slave mines going and you can't even absolve yourself by believing anymore that at least by keeping the system stable for now you're doing your part to help set the stage for some segment of the system eventually saving it from itself, saving you People will continue to move en masse to the desiccated and crowded West and survive on bottled Great Lakes water until the caravan of Sysco trucks can no longer move because the record heat and interstate adjacent wildfires have melted their tires to the desert road, but just in time there's newly patented rubber and asphalt techniques which incorporate a synthetic polistirex coating deemed mostly harmless to the endangered grass, shout out to the good folks at the plastic labs, patent office, and the people who pretend to do ecological assessments Your favorite animal is going to be as extinct as clotheslines are in the suburbs and the fulfillment of the stated global mission of exporting our doom comforts, a fridge and dryer in every home, is actually the worst thing that could possibly happen, although it isn't a real goal, as profitable as that would be for the dairy industry and Big Dryer Sheets - Without anyone offering e-hugs or life advice or the suicide hotline or well actuallys or trying to counter with some weird optimism about young people or the power of positive thinking or the Boring Company's advances in terraforming and carbon capture and plastic bottle houses or the power of love or the cold comfort of hedonistic nihilism and binging screen stories about space travel and just having a good time while we're here Bad vibes only. Let this be a space for noticing, lamenting, relishing, acknowledging that it's getting very dark outside.

Codename: Jackass Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 We've fucked it all up. Even for the people who want to change things for the better, it's all too late. It's been too late for a couple hundred years. The control system is in place, and it will keep you in your place, until you die of cancer caused by exposure to myriad toxins all in the name of greasing the wheels of this great, terrible machine. You won't rise above it. You won't make a difference. None of us will. The people who "make a difference" matter not in the grand scheme of things. The ones who wield the true power will either be long dead before we reap what they sowed for us, or they will become god-men augmented by their cybernetics or genetic reconfiguration that they keep for themselves. If you're lucky and prove yourself a good little bootlicker, you might get a taste, but just a taste, like a mongrel dog being fed that piece of cold gristle from the table of your master. Somehow I have this tiny little candle of hope that somehow it will all come crashing down. Some days it's all I have to live for. But then the rational mind tells me this won't happen. Your destiny was determined before you were ever thought of. Make sure to get out and vote Republican in the midterm so we can accelerate this engine of destruction just a little faster. But really, your vote doesn't matter, does it? Our masters have arranged for the right people to be in the right positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSAID Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 It's a bit of a shame that the way things are, it's basically torture having any level of consciousness and if you're naturally messed up by genetics or if anything bad has ever happened to you ever then forget about it. People should be allowed to just not. Everything would work out a lot better if we all didn't. But every day I do and so does everyone else. And given the situation at hand, when you can't it gets worse. It feels kinda mean telling other people they shouldn't, because nobody really wants to, and bringing it up just gonna make them think about it more. I've been watching a lot of anime lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlappyKincaid Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Awake, unfazed Morning light tells of the dawning day Just like any other day Brush off sleep’s touch Clear midnight's haze There’s nothing extraordinary here A flaccid world, unfit, unclear Desperate for something more Something more than getting by Empty faces on the sidewalk Listless and limping to a lie Of a bright and pleasant future Of a blue and cloudless sky A phantom whisper sounds deceiving It brings with it the question “why?” We work until we are unable Then locked away until we die But then it happened Everything changed in but an instant A violent burst of brilliant colour Somehow close and somehow distant From a whisper To a scream To a hoarse, distorted laugh There is no hope of restitution There is no ever going back In dreamless sleep One ponders death Hold back the fleeting final breath Knuckle white, slipping grip Jaw clenched tight, and quivering lip This cannot happen This cannot be Escape a life of anonymity To be a drop into the sea, a drop into the sea Whose ripple turns to tidal wave That sweeps the shores it once forgave But crashing down upon the shore The sea is silent evermore Awake, unfazed Morning light tells of the dawning day Just like any day. Brush off sleep’s touch Clear midnight's haze There’s nothing extraordinary here A flaccid world, unfit, unclear Desperate for something more Something more than getting by There’s got to be something more than this It sounds so deceiving Begging the question “why?” Begging the question “why?” Why do we work until we are unable? Why do we work until we die? Why do we work until we are unable? Why, why, why do we work, why do we work until we die? (A drop into the sea Whose ripple turns to tidal wave, And sweeps the shores it once forgave) The Sun, the Moon, the Earth Conversed and agreed The people of the world must pay for its atrophy But crashing down upon the shore The sea is silenced evermore Evermore… But then it happened Everything changed in but an instance A violent burst of brilliant color Somehow close and somehow distance [4x] The sun, the moon, the Earth Conversed and agreed The people of the world must pay for its atrophy (What unknown face now breaks the silence?) (What tipping force disturbs the balance?) (Swift and sober, comes a voice, offering a bitter choice) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poof Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Here's some gloomy doom for ya An economy reliant on debt for its growth causes our interest rate to jump to 28 percent when we are late on a credit card payment. It is why our wages are stagnant or have declined in real terms—if we earned a sustainable income we would not have to borrow money to survive. It is why a university education, houses, medical bills and utilities cost so much. The system is designed so we can never free ourselves from debt. However, the next financial crash, as Prins points out in her book “Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World,” won’t be like the last one. This is because, as she says, “there is no Plan B.” Interest rates can’t go any lower. There has been no growth in the real economy. The next time, there will be no way out. Once the economy crashes and the rage across the country explodes into a firestorm, the political freaks will appear, ones that will make Trump look sagacious and benign. And so, to quote Vladimir Lenin, what must be done? We must invest our energy in building parallel, popular institutions to protect ourselves and to pit power against power. These parallel institutions, including unions, community development organizations, local currencies, alternative political parties and food cooperatives, will have to be constructed town by town. The elites in a time of distress will retreat to their gated compounds and leave us to fend for ourselves. Basic services, from garbage collection to public transportation, food distribution and health care, will collapse. Massive unemployment and underemployment, triggering social unrest, will be dealt with not through government job creation but the brutality of militarized police and a complete suspension of civil liberties. Critics of the system, already pushed to the margins, will be silenced and attacked as enemies of the state. The last vestiges of labor unions will be targeted for abolition, a process that will soon be accelerated given the expected ruling in a case before the Supreme Court that will cripple the ability of public sector unions to represent workers. The dollar will stop being the world’s reserve currency, causing a steep devaluation. Banks will close. Global warming will extract heavier and heavier costs, especially on the coastal populations, farming and the infrastructure, costs that the depleted state will be unable to address. The corporate press, like the ruling elites, will go from burlesque to absurdism, its rhetoric so patently fictitious it will, as in all totalitarian states, be unmoored from reality. The media outlets will all sound as fatuous as Trump. And, to quote W.H. Auden, “the little children will die in the streets.” As a foreign correspondent I covered collapsed societies, including the former Yugoslavia. It is impossible for any doomed population to grasp how fragile the decayed financial, social and political system is on the eve of implosion. All the harbingers of collapse are visible: crumbling infrastructure; chronic underemployment and unemployment; the indiscriminate use of lethal force by police; political paralysis and stagnation; an economy built on the scaffolding of debt; nihilistic mass shootings in schools, universities, workplaces, malls, concert venues and movie theaters; opioid overdoses that kill some 64,000 people a year; an epidemic of suicides; unsustainable military expansion; gambling as a desperate tool of economic development and government revenue; the capture of power by a tiny, corrupt clique; censorship; the physical diminishing of public institutions ranging from schools and libraries to courts and medical facilities; the incessant bombardment by electronic hallucinations to divert us from the depressing sight that has become America and keep us trapped in illusions. We suffer the usual pathologies of impending death. I would be happy to be wrong. But I have seen this before. I know the warning signs. All I can say is get ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I drive now I am gently reminded of the intensity of the planet's anguish, though the full account of it is obviously withheld from my biological form -- by the mercy of God or by some science, or by chance, we are still here. Spared. But I'm sweating more and more and over time, death appears more imminent. Further more, my debts climb, I don't get enough nudes, and I am growing older and more out of touch. Chaos Reigns.
