It might be a good deterrent, if some dipshit kills another person driving drunk, maybe we should just chop their head off in the public square?

mark fisher predicted the current cultural stagnation and how it would infect people's thinking too: a society where the populace is hyper-judgemental, rigid and rejecting of any true deviance from the norm. but even he probably didn't anticipate just how blind people would be to their own lameness. at the time he talked about how leftist spaces had turned into moralizing purity tests that would suffocate discourse, but this mindset isn't limited to the libs anymore, everyone is in on it now too. the political consists of fake resistance; libs calling people names and nazis (drumpf, elmo), chuds spamming wojaks and pepes like its the 2012 reddit rageface era.

the culture industry isn't exactly new either, but it's impressive how it keeps optimizing itself. the biggest pop culture movement is swifties - the most boring, anti-art, corporatized fandom phenomenon in human history. mediocrity has never been more carefully distilled and refined than in her person. rap, once a supposedly vital genre, is currently making headlines for rappers having small peepees and being addicted to bussy and porn. the best youth culture can come up with is either idolizing already dead millenial culture or mass producing brainrot.

mass culture has been trapped in endless nostalgia loops for years, but even the internet - which used to be a wild, chaotic place - has finally been reduced to either hyper-policed, corporate-moderated mush (reddit dot com) or irony-poisoned wastelands where every conversation either degenerates into the same three wojak memes (ding ding ding, this is where we are right now) or is suffocated by asking of the reader to withhold their habituated responses.

this isn't just stagnation, it's full on social decay. if it took on physical form we could observe the brain worms slowly digesting our frontal lobes. I thought I could deal with cultural stagnation but I honestly didn't expect it would become this authoritarian and that its rulers would be this lame.

Any good places to start?

This one has a gun AND a crucifix.

NEW NGO report: I investigate the "antifascist" trans terror cell linked to six known homicides.

Who is Jack LaSota/"Andrea Phelps"/"Ziz," its mysterious leader who faked his own death?

He mostly sneeds about Trump, Musk, the German AfD, Slavshit and other modern Social Media brain rot.

@Bananamine A new, Germposting competitor arrived

Like WTF does this even mean

She messaged me asking if I want some old telescope, and perhaps a gun.

As of right now I'm uncertain if it's actually a functioning old gun, or some old replica, but she claims it has been actually used for rabbit hunting (a shitty pistol for hunting rabbits?).

If it's a replica, that's cool.

However, if it's an actual gun I may kitty out of getting it. Poland is very restrictive when it comes to weapons, and if that's not risky enough my grandma does not live in Poland, so this thing needs to go through two (Schengen) borders.

Anyway, this came absolutely out of nowhere and I'm kind of befuddled.

If any gun experts can assert if it's real from this picture that would be appreciated.

they're going to make it a lot harder to register to vote, having failed to notice that THEY'RE the low-propensity voter party now and are leading in new registrations. married women who aren't already voters will be hit even harder, and that's one of the most 2025 republican party constituencies you can imagine. this would usher in total Elite Human Capital ascendancy.

Graduated last year and have a useless degree now. I'm technically doing my masters but I'm thinking of dropping out (haven't told my parents yet). Still live with my parents. Never had a real bf. Don't really have any friend. Is it over?
