I watched it, truth be told it makes me want to give my xbox and gaming in general. I mean really, what's the point anymore when the fascists are winning and are now coming for our video games too?

Bread and circuses, man. The only things keeping the masses at peace despite the fascism. There's two problems though.

1. The bread is becoming more expensive.
2. The circuses are being shut down or heavily regulated for having degenerate content.

Know what I mean?

Sadly I do... I remember watching a video about the "Bread & Circuses" tactics in Ancient Rome. It was designed to keep the citizens from revolting against their own empire, and it didnt end well for the Romans.

Maybe as a modern society we're becoming too dependant on these distractions?

A paradox I've realised in my life is that sitting right on the line between poverty and wealth actually makes you poorer than any other class of citizens (apart from the homeless maybe but I'm talking about people living in homes).

FFS, I think I fancy Keir Starmer when he doesn't have his glasses on. That doesn't mean I like or idolise him though, I can't help who I fancy, so please don't kill me.. :lol:

I swear the USA is going to drive me to an early grave. I know it doesn't care about anyone but itself, and if it had its way everyone in the world would be under its control and forced to be exactly like it. :evil:

I have, however, seen the USA save the world a number of times. But it was only in Hollywood movies. :twisted:

I wonder how the massive march is doing in London today. I would have thought there would be video updates online to watch but there isn't. It should be all over the news, if it's that big. Unless a lot of people chickened out.

Edit: It started at 12.30. I wonder if it'll be on the 1 o'clock news. So glad I'm not there.

I'm watching it live on the internet, just for the drama really.

They should retire the Nobel Peace Priize. Peace is not a 21st Century concept.

I admit that I never heard of Charlie Kirk until what happened to him back on Wednesday.

I also admit that even though Charlie Kirk was a far-right activist, I feel very bad for his young kids because they'll have no memories of him as time will go on.

After finding out that many occult groups are heavy into taking drugs and that cults use narcotics to control their followers... I don't think I can take this stuff seriously anymore.

Now I got nothing left to cling to AND I realize I'm a delusional fool. :(

But drugs destroy people. I want no part of that s**t

I heard there might be a civil war in the UK, right Vs left. If so, what would happen? I mean I just want to stay neutral, I'm scared to even have an opinion these days, and I just want to get on with my life. What if I have to be evacuated from my home? What if there's lockdowns? Will I still have to carry on going to work as normal? Me and my partner are poor with no savings, so I need my job to survive. Will there be bombs involved? I'm scared.

^I wonder if there's actually going to be a second American Civil War soon, given with all the crap that had happened for the past year. >:/

No, I hope not, because I'm terrified of a nuclear bomb. They don't kill everyone on Earth instantly, only some are killed instantly while everyone else gets radiation poisoning and dies a horrible, slow and painful death, with no medical treatment. It makes COVID look like a breeze.

What is the point in WW3 if nobody's going to win? And how would anyone survive when all you hear about online are convincing conspiracy theories, and just lies in the media? At least in WW2 everyone just had radios and newspapers as their only reliable source, and so it was easier to follow government guidelines and support each other.

In 2025 if we were asked to build bomb shelters in our backyards half the people would be saying "no, don't build a bomb shelter in your backyard, the government only want you to do that so they can watch you, I know because I heard someone say it in a YouTube video I saw the other day. Don't be controlled by the government, be your own person. If you do build a bomb shelter in your backyard then we are going to take pictures of you and turn you into a meme, telling the world how stupid you are to give in to BS."

That's what it would be like. It'd just become a joke.

Well the jokes on us humans for opening that pandora's box during the last World War when we told ourselves that dropping nukes on Japan twice was a great thing because it "ended the war and saved lives" (lol).
