"Media" won't be interesting to the masses anymore, who already don't have the attention span to sit through a full-length movie, but rather recreational drug use will go mainstream (even more mainstream than it is now). People won't watch shows, they'll go on soma vacations.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta@esotericdoge What else are they going to do? They're locked in prison under worse than third world conditions, they're treated like zoo animals by left and right alike, nobody is coming to save them, their great leader sold them out for nothing and for no benefit, they really don't have that much to live for except a vague hope that "things will get better someday."
@xianc78 The real problem is that people these days are so uncomfortable with sitting in silence that they absolutely MUST fill the airwaves with something, anything, to avoid having to silently think and wonder what others are thinking.
@jimmybuffettfanaccount@Solbera@SuperSnekFriend@WashedOutGundamPilot The worst part is that it wrecks not just the person, but the whole friend group. Inevitably there's a schism where some "affirm" the delusion and others try to reason with the freshly-minted faggot before ultimately and reluctantly rejecting him.
@jimmybuffettfanaccount@WashedOutGundamPilot I'm less concerned with the status of trannies in 10-20 years and more concerned with whether I will survive the collapse or be violently murdered by thugs, uniformed or otherwise.
@spacemanspiff@wjmaggos@nam Nearly? The whole thing is rigged five different ways. Anyone who saw what happened in 2020 and still thinks this nation has real "elections" is delusional.
@WashedOutGundamPilot I think veterans (especially those who recently separated to avoid the shots) are increasingly shy about flaunting that status. Many had no idea what kind of system they were supporting while they were in and wish they could tell all the people cheering them on afterward that they are all part of a collective brainwashing and that the military is not the institution it used to be.
And, in some sense, the military didn't even "used to be" the system it used to be (that is, its members and supporting public have always had the wool pulled over their eyes about what the military actually accomplishes). That's not to knock the good intentions of the enlisted and junior officers, though. Most are only told a small part of the bigger picture, and it's always spun as a "freedom and democracy" thing.
