    1990, in a monoculture conservative prairies small town with a Baptist church co-founding mother. I didn’t fall for any of their shit so I felt out of place and wearing a mask to avoid being disowned at an early age. 8 or so years old is when I started to realise everyone was lying to themselves and me.

      yeah its just like politically and socially and economically things got bad in the aughts and then like technology got bad in the teens which was like the only nice thing kinda left to distract. So fi your experience is mostly in this millenium you have not seen it even kinda decent.

        Sure I see it the same way as you but that’s just local to us in our own time. Looking at global history outside of the sanitized lie by omission lessons taught by the school system reveals we’ve always been pretty monstrous throughout all of written history. The only thing that I can’t figure out is how things are ever allowed the breathing room to temporarily improve in the first place.
