Hard versus hopeless …
“Doomism isn’t about the future being hard, doomism is about believing the future is hopeless.” – Dr. Freckles
- They told us in economics classes that FOOD was an inferior good, and basically garbage.
- They told you the SMART GUY leaves home, and you left home … and then you returned one day to find home destroyed.
- They told you “you gotta be happy, if you’re not happy you’re a shit head”, and some of us suffer from actual severe depression, from time to time, and we’re just not going to be fucking HAPPY about any of your wretched bullshit …
- The wars, the prisons, the slaves …
But it’s not hopeless …
Yeah – life has become dreary and ugly, but it’s still life.
We were sold a SHRIMP SALAD MASTERPIECE that turned out to be a turd sandwich van Gogh surprise …
But life goes on – my view of the future hasn’t really changed. I’m just trying to break out of that “what the fuck am I in that future” funk …
I’m an old man, being chased by coyotes …
(and that’s pretty fucking lit)

STATIST MIND FUCK … SPACE: 1999
“The only thing dumber than ‘cops in space’, is the IRS after total thermonuclear war.” – Dr. Freckles
How big of a statist mind fuck is it when a science fiction TV show about a Moon lost in the depths of space, OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING NOWHERE, still have aliens show up, flashing their “business license” … WTF …
It’s like Fire Fly – the one thing about that show I found implausible, and this applies to STAR WARS as well … “cops and business licenses in deep space” …
(what the actual fuck)
In that controversial TV movie from the 80’s: “The Day After”
The IRS shows up, post nuclear war, to explain how folks who are dying in multiple ways still need to pay their taxes …
This is implausible, but it is the narrative the state wants you to believe.
