    God, please, just let this shitshow end already.

    Franky, I’m so tired at this point that I feel like it’ll go on like this forever. I can’t imagine going back to normal life anymore. What is even “normal”…

      The more I think about it, the more I wonder if “normal” even existed? Or if we’ve just been young and uneducated, taking the monstrosity of the global capitalism as a given.

      Guess Engels Was right saying pre-communist times are just “prehistory”.

        People might look at our current era the same way we look at feudal Europe and scoff at how seriously they took the divine right of kings.

        You’re right, normalcy was never a thing. At least, not within my lifetime.

        But at least I’d like to live without the fear of being kidnapped and press-ganged into the military, you know?
