I think the age of awakening is upon us. All of this awful stuff we are seeing ramp up is like an injured animal lashing out before it gets put down.

I think people are coming to the realization that corroption is all around them and is a pillar stone of world economies that must be brought down. I will always have more in common with a random Arab or Chinese person half way across the globe than the people who run our country.

Everyone believes in conspiracy theories; the question isn’t whether but which.

Personally I believe that the real Avril Lavigne will return and bring us into the age of prosperity

I hear she’s went to the bottom of the world and when she returns will bring definitive proof that the earth is flat.

That's just a conspiracy from Big Conspiracy to sell more conspiracies!

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I used to read up on a bunch of conspiracies but I don't think I ever really believed any of them too much, but if I had to say one specific conspiracy I do believe in it's the tech bro oligarchy. People like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are young enough and have essentially unlimited resources to enact their plan for "the world" as it were. Unfortunately I really believe they're going to succeed eventually.

YOU WILL LIVE TO SEE MANMADE HORRORS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.

Ultimately I think things'll work out ok, though.
