No one is reading this, so it’s safe to ramble for a while. Ramble until I stumble upon something new and real, at least.
It’s been 4 months since the COVID shook this shit up and I still don’t have a proper grasp on What Is Going On. The atomization of individual little American monads has made a society-wide action feel alienated and lonesome; despite the knowledge that it sucks for everyone and sucks in a similar way for everyone, I feel more alone than I’ve felt in years. Perhaps more alone than any time since Freshman year of college.
Personal shit aside, it’s been interesting to live through the dying gasps of an empire, the global hegemon. Looking around at the patchwork reaction, the federal abdication, and the people themselves (there’s a whole piece to be done on the COVIDiot), we are a failed state. But we’re a failed state with nukes. So.
On the people, oh la peuple. If I could abolish them, I would! Selfish… gonna elaborate on that
