Why is common sense depicted as wrinkly cucks?
2026 isnt a real year. I’m convinced. 2012 wasnt real either. Always felt fake.
Reagan is the devil. His policies need to be rolled back and we need to get rid of the Right.
I think whoever downvoted you didn’t quite get what you meant because you just threw that out there with no context.
Continuing your thought;
Unfortunately Bush, Clinton, W, Obama and Biden continued and expanded policies in the same direction Reagan started. Trump on the other hand is actively setting fire to what’s left of democracy while stealing everything, nailed down or not.Seriously. The fascists want extermination of minority groups, the Christians want to feel persecuted, and I just want to live a life without there bullshit. The compromise that gets everybody everything they want is right there.
There’s no saving this shit show. We need to form a new government with a new constitution
I, gen-x, as a kid in the early eighties, imagined 2026 as either a post nuclear war apocalyptic wasteland like Mad Max, or a cyberpunk dystopia like Neuromancer, Cyberpunk 2020, or Bladerunner. One of those two came true.
EDIT:
One?
Angry nerd neck beards aren’t really the archetype for those resistance to feeding babies or social programs…should be a rich woman wearing Gucci or something.
Bruh same
^((replace 4 with 10)^)
^((make line a downwards parabola)^)History ended sometime around 1990. It was determined at that time that civilization could not substantially change any further, for better or worse. No Mad Max or Terminator dystopias, but also no Star Trek type societies in which both social systems and technology become highly advanced. No, just a Sisyphean nightmare in which nothing meaningfully changes and an infinite, perpetual constant is maintained and managed, forever and ever, until the heat death of the universe. Instead of either dystopia or utopia we have an ever present, oppressive malaise that only the sweet release of death can liberate us from.
Nah, we got a literary dystopia, just not one where everything is destroyed like your examples. We got the gilded cyberpunk future where everyone is tracked, privacy is dead and the lower class is held down by force. The biggest difference we have these days is that we went more heavy on AI than robotics, and the skies are a bit clearer.
Youre exactly right. Ended around 99 or earlier. All future years feel fake.
Fukuyama around, find out.

That sounds like a dystopia to me.
No its great and of you don’t love it you’re a COMMUNIST which is the worst thing you can be and the police are on their way.
Yeah, like if everything was kinda ok, and we weren’t slipping back into global fascism, but it was obvious we were just treading water as a species… that’d be middle ground. We’re definitely not on middle ground.
