Nothing happening is exactly what I want. I want life to be so boring that I can wake up in the morning and KNOW that no one is scheming yet more ways to ruin my country or stomp on my rights.
Read Camus, go absurdist, enjoy life. It's so easy.
I agree with the premise, but it is not easy to reprogram a lifetime of conditioning.
Sounds like you haven't read enough Camus
Maybe not 🤪
I like my trolley rides without screaming.
True peace is the opportunity to find joy. If you haven’t the means to read a book, or take the time to enjoy a coffee, or take a walk, etc. then everything is not fine.
spoken like a true leftist.
I find it hard to understand how this is leftism.
Is the right supposed to go hunting killing animals while driving their monster truck through a nature reserve? The right couldn't do things like these?

What I wouldn't give for a ride like that nowadays
Screaming is just as exhausting and meaningless as not screaming.
This meme would have worked a lot better a few years ago. Hell, even a few months ago.

Plenty of people are screaming.
Welcome to the good place
Oh, I'm screaming, dw
Maybe we can tie someone down on the tracks, that'll spice things up.
Screaming? That was a couple of miles ago. Everyone on the tracks was screaming. Then they went quiet. Now its just getting warmer and warmer. Can't wait to finally get to Auschwitz and take a shower like the guards said to do!
lies
Go faster damn you!
All the characters in the Neighborhood of Make Believe are just trapped in a trolley problem.
Snowpiercer, except there's no real plot or change. You are in the car you're in, period.
