dont forget:
Oxycontin crisis, satanic panic, Columbine and the proliferation of the modern school shooting crisis, all the tobacco execs lying to congress about nicotine being addictive and facing no consequences, and the open and acknowledged deployment of weapons of war in space thus opening us up to a brand new version of the Cuban missile crisis... In Space (space space space)
Oh we didn’t start the fire, it was always burning since the world’s been turning.
War on Terror BS War on Drugs BS
It is a rather long list of BS
Oh oh oh, and that one time George Bush collectively cock teased us all by almost choking to death on that pretzel.
We also had to deal with Obama giving us an iota of hope for a short period and then ends up all he wanted to do all day was drone strike poor people.
My biggest tinfoil hat take is that the fent was put there on purpose to punish drug culture, as the public discovered that many drugs that are scheduled aren't really as harmful or addictive as we're told when done in moderation, and they hated that they were losing control of the narrative that the police state is for your own protection.
So they decided to poison dissenters so they could say "See? Told you so." I don't think they quite realized how many opioid soccer moms were trying to cope at that point, but I wouldn't expect much competence from a government that was willing to purge their own citizens for the crime of "going to a rave occasionally".
Huh.
That actually makes sense.....

Don't forget all the climate stuff happening exactly as predicted like twenty years ago.
i thought they did those predictions in the 70s
Yup, like he said twenty years... Oh, wait... I'm too old...
And we need to start calling it, sucking up economics.
Also to add to your list.
10 things we are so passionate about here’s what you’ve done for each, please correct me if I’m being too cynical of you personally, but this applies to most so:
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, and how easy is it to get the ball rolling on union stuff
Nothing, consumed said media
Actively posting our worthless thoughts, we are ruining the internet rn
Voted for citizens united candidate or didn’t vote at all
Nothing
Nothing, maybe made the internet worse about it
Nothing
This is my favorite: nothing but with a sense of superiority for pointing it out
I don’t want you to take this as a personal attack but I feel like that’s what we as a generation are accomplishing in regards to your list.
These things are not some helpless thing we are assigned forever. We can be the change.
