A Boring Dystopia

The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

The problem is, it's not just Hegseth.

It feels very 1933 outside all around.

Feels like we’re a couple of months away from the dissolution of congress and totalitarian single party dictator rule.

The concentration camps are there to go after anybody suggesting resistance or saying things contrary to the party… and the mass subpoenas for identification on social media are the preparations for it.

When it happens the line will be that they are correcting political prosecution, injustice and corruption by “radical Democrats”

I'm expecting a Reichstag fire rather than relying entirely on the last election rhetoric. For those who have never read about the 1933 German election, I recommend doing so soon.

What a wild time.
