The worst part? It was an electric boat and they had to choose between being electrocuted by the battery and being eaten by sharks

This one sums it up pretty well. Some peoples feet are wet and some are not but we are not ourselves underwater so we pretend we are not sinking.

Bread and circus. No bread, but a whole lot of circus to keep people occupied while they go under.

Me just thinking that my grandparents came here for a better life. Now people from my country get killed by ICE.

But if I leave and go back with cousins in Mexico I have no doubt that the USA government and billionaires bs is going to spread its impact worldwide.

It will wherever you end up, don't put that on yourself.

You get used to it when it’s been sinking since before you were born.

I went to a concert last night and it was surreal. We're just going to sit here and let the train hit us and the world. Mass delusion.

Television affects people’s thinking.

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 28 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Oh come on, TV is so 60's-90's complaints. These days it's TikTok and YouTube rotting minds.

Bread and circuses.

The one on the left looks like she would get offended if you pointed out the reality that the ship is sinking instead of going along with the delusion.

Like a magician accidentally revealing their own secret mid trick and getting mad if you don't pretend to be baffled at how they just sawed that lady in half and put her right back together.

That captain is sleeping. No, don't wake him up! That's when he messes up the least.

It’s not accurate, there’s not enough dead brown people and guns and the water’s not covered in oil and there’s not a giant yacht zooming in the other direction, away from this disaster.

Wait I think I know this boat. I am pretty sure it is a sunk boat in miami that was there for a really long time. A lot of people used to go canoe over to it and take pictures.

But, USA is winning at soccer right now, wooooo! 🥖🤡

[–] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That boat is probably sitting on the bottom. America still has farther to fall, believe it or not.
