  It’s depressing to notice just how much pop culture from teh 80s onward was trying to warn us about this coming shittorm. It’s like, as soon as Reaganomics came on the scene, there were those who immediately saw it for what it was and started fighting. (Punk Rock, Literature, Movies, etc…) and it wasn’t enough. No one paid any attention and we are now where we are because as a culture we got sucked into chasing more shiny shit at the expense of our own good.

      …somewhere between 1984 and 2014, peak dystopian satire became peak aspirational lifestyle…is it any wonder that balls-out cartoon fascists are celebrated by half the planet a decade later?..
