it's genuinely psychological horror that's being displayed in our current timeline.

the fact that everyone (not the literal everyone, but generally speaking) is experiencing some kind of mental illness, alongside with the echochambers that some seemingly can't escape, the mass hysteria that's quite literally destroying not only the social atmosphere of the world, but also destroying the message for any hope there could be for a peaceful world.

It's a genuine piece of (could be fictional) horror, Far Cry 5 did a great job at depicting this sort of lunacy (as far as my media is capable of comparison) probably super irrelevant to compare the two, but it's weird how even with media like that, and the history that is easily accessible to study, that we somehow manage to keep falling into the same loop of degeneracy.

I say this speaking from the view of American society, from what i can see so far, it's also starting to spread into europe as well, maybe it's been here this whole time, and we're all experiencing another world war like moment, who knows. I think it's safe to say that it's not really such a coincedence that the world became (even more so) divided than it ever was in such short notice since the pandemic hit, this degeneration is deliberate, manufactured.

And that's even another thing in our current history, the pandemic, it may have seemed short lived in hindsight, I mean it happened 5 years ago, but it's a piece of history that should be written about just the same as the dust bowl, the many famines across the world, the plague, but we seem to be so overwhelmed by our media, and our surroundings that we are ultimately bombarded with a strategic flow of information meant to demean us and stop us from even trying to think there could be any chance for a better world at all. I know it doesn't work on everyone, it hasn't for a while but lately it's been getting to me

It's surreal to analyze this now, just as it was to experience it, but i find it a genuine horror. Like this is fiction, it SHOULD be fiction, but it's not because we are born dumb and our conscious reality is full of manmade ideas that turn us psychotic one way or another.

Although maybe i'm just being dramatic about it all, who knows, i could wake up one day and suddenly the tides turn like a flip of a switch, but i guess that's a bit too ambitious of a thought now is it? Hah, maybe dramatic doesn't cut it at all, i could just be a dirty cynic, but something about our way of existence just isn't right, how did we accept this way of life?

I tell myself "through silence of course" but then i hear the voices of the people speak, it's visible, the opinions are out there, the pushback has great velocity. So where is the progress? It's a self answering question to people who've been critics and activists and the such, "it's a constant struggle."

That i think is the message of life that we may have to cope with. Since the pandoras box of war was left open, it's something that will define (at least this current era) of our human existence, the era of struggle. The fucked up part? We aren't even a type 1 civilization yet.

but we shouldn't let that stop us, there's a silent part to the quote above.

"It's a constant struggle, you can't measure progress the same way you measure distance travelled, it's progress in the sense of a chess game, sometimes you make great moves that set you up for a win, sometimes, you make moves that set you up for loss. But what matters is what you learn from it, and the results of the final product."

sorry if this becomes copypasta content, maybe i sound corny trying to explain it all, but there's no other way i can describe life right now other than comical. I think it's kind of comical.. but maybe a good laugh is what i need most right now, join me.
