my political position is that i would like things to be noticeably less insane than they currently are. this is considered "not having principles" by people who think everything should be on fire

@Daojoan

some people saw "the dark knight" in 2008 and took the "some people just want to watch the world burn" speech not as a warning, but a whole damn identity to aspire to

it's amazing how entitled and dissipated so many have become that being a pathetic edgelord is seen as enticing, wise, or useful

@benroyce some ppl read 1984 and thought it was a manual. @Daojoan
@Ilka4You @benroyce @Daojoan Mr Orwell's predictions were pretty much on the money, weren't they?
@EndicottAuthor @benroyce @Daojoan indeed. What I as a teen thought was genious & social critique - a warning what we could become if we fail as humans - has turned into reality.
