#SiliconValley ’s Image Takes a Dark Turn in #PopCulture
In #television and #movies, depictions of #nihilistic #billionaires and #amoral #opportunists are replacing the quirky strivers of older shows like HBO’s “Silicon Valley.”

I'm in a very #nihilistic humour at the moment.

“We have let school #shootings in #America persist long enough that we have created a #culture […]. All of it now is just another #meme you can participate in to go viral. Made even more confusing by a new #nihilistic #accelerationist movement that delights in muddying the waters for older people who still adhere to a traditional political spectrum. Many young #extremists now believe in a much simpler binary: #Order and #chaos.”
@lacybarry I guess there are several posible explanations:
#fake modesty to avoid be asked to care for the world or others "I am just surviving, so what can I do? I can't change anything myself!...I am hardly living". In that way they avoid people asking them for help in the future.
The #System appreciates attitudes of #self #punishment which can be only words or more than words because is a sign of obedience, low self stem or looking humble is important to keep everyone far from their real power and the willingness to organise with others.
#lazy to think and not really needing others due to their privileges, or having this fantasy that they do #all by themselves, forgetting that even their farts would not be possible without a net of people doing all kind of works, activities or being peaceful so there is some order that allows they to go to grocery shop!
#selfishness because they don't really feel something must change as current situation is comfortable enough for them. So they don't really mean their Apocalipsis like ways of thinking, if they did they minimum would be making preparations for it. So eve they can be climate change activists they don't really believe on that as they don't change any behaviour or cut any consumerism apart from poses.
Being #nihilistic uses less brain resources or is more adequate to people refusing to use their thinking devices since they are young... putting your mind to #think implies doing this on their own and organise with other to change all what they diagnose from their sofa as #hopeless and horrible...
Etc.

I really don't want to be a bitter, #nihilistic #misanthrope, but holy shit, it's really difficult. I'm done with trying to interact with people online. It's a waste of time.
On a parallel note, has anyone noticed #boomers and #genx in the US especially, basically behave #irl like a poorly moderated online forum?
Nm, don't answer that. I don't care.
Stare into the #nihilistic abyss long enough and you, too, can become an #Ubermensch.
The @GOP Is the Party of #FYou It was barely a #political #party bef., but now it’s a #nihilistic, #corrupt, #fake #populist #scam. And we are all SO MUCH worse off because of the #power, #influence, #hatred & #corruption they espouse & #legislate - GROSS OLD PERVERT Party!
