Most people are NPCs and they don’t even know it. No original thought. No independent decision. Just society’s programming running on a loop. And the people who break from the script get punished publicly so the rest of the NPCs stay in line. The system works exactly as designed.
Are we actually living through the most chaotic era in human history, or are we just the first generation with social media forced to watch every tragedy on earth unfold in real time, and the world has always been this dark, we were just never close enough to see it?
The world is on fire, our foods contain toxins, the air is unbreathable, the oceans are dying, biodiversity is being destroyed and we’re in a mass extinction event unseen in millions of years, and all either party cares about it BIG NUMBER GO UP.
Whatever happened to:
• $2,000 tariff checks
• $5,000 DOGE checks
• 10% APR credit cards

• $2 gas
• Cheaper groceries
• No new wars
• The Epstein files
• The Greenland hospital ship
• The Venezuelan “drug boats”
• The pilots rescued from Iran

The cheap brands got expensive.
The expensive brands got unaffordable.
The store brand became the only option.
And then the store brand went up too.
Every trick that existed to make the grocery bill manageable.
Has been systematically closed off.
One by one. Quarter by quarter.
While wages grew 3.8% and grocery prices grew faster.
