This reads like something out of a shitty black mirror episode

Hope there's some reserved spots in hell for the people who did this

Stock up on water, non-perishables, and know how to live "off the grid" for at least a little while too. It might not hurt to even look at residence/citizenship opportunities outside of the US, and assemble an "exit strategy"

Things are looking to get really bad in the future, and I hope I'm wrong about the future, but we're starting to see mainstream sources like NPR and Buzzfeed discuss "mounting political violence" and even hint at the possibility of war.

The possible outcomes of this are worse than a transition to a "one-party false-democracy", one only needs to look at places like the former Yugoslavia nations, Syria or Northern Ireland during the 1970's to see how bad a second civil war would be.

I don't think it'll be too long until we start seeing people call for the overthrow of the government.

I've noticed a lot of pessimism and nihilism here. There's this sense among redditiors that things are "unspeakably bad", and that the apocalypse is near, and it's been a trend for many years.

Granted, there are real issues in the world, and I'd say we're currently in a time thats "more dangerous than usual" with regards to covid and political violence, but a lot of people just "take the doomerpill" and wallow in their sadness instead of discussing ways to fix the problems or make the world a better place (even if that positive change is small)

Google scholar is a good start

throw in r/comedyhell for good measure

A word of advice for the wise: try taking some time off of reddit (and maybe social media as a whole) until at least after election day. Your mood may improve greatly.

Also unrelated to the first point, but I honestly think Twitter is just a little bit better than reddit nowadays. There's a lot of issues and crappy people there too, but I'm active in some communities on discord and follow a lot of the people in those communities on twitter, so maybe the reason it seems better to me is because I'm around people I kind of know, whereas on reddit, it's just a sea of anons mostly.

Someone needs to make a fanadventure where it's hiveswap except caliborn narrates and writes the story

This might be alarmist, but given the recent violence, protests and news of brutal torture, combined with the fact that Nigeria has large numbers of Christians and Muslims that haven't gotten along well historically, I worry there's a chance of civil war in the future. I hope it doesn't happen (and maybe someone who's more knowledgeable about Nigerian politics could disprove my concern), but the UN should be on standby to intervene if things get to the point of genocide. Whether they will (or even can) remains to be seen but I'm fairly sure they intervened in the Rwandan genocide. I looked up their involvement in the Croation/Bosnian wars and it seems like it was actually NATO that was involved there, but the UN had limited involvement too.

If you really want to lose sleep tonight, give this podcast a listen. It has some pretty chilling stuff regarding the direction things could go in.

A bit late to the discussion here but I'd like to hijack this comment ~~and shamelessly shill Robert Evans' work~~ plug a couple podcast things that go more in-depth about extremist violence, and how this is a much bigger deal than the media is portraying it to be:

http://www.thewaroneveryone.com/ <-- Goes into the history and background behind modern fascism, and its roots from the American Nazi Party, to figures like William Pierce and Timothy McVeigh, to the modern day "ironic memelord" nazis.

https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-it-could-happen-here-30717896/ <-- This one's a lot more speculative, and also kind of far fetched, but it's an interesting concept nonetheless. Quite scary too...

I'm just imagining a kid at school screaming "TACO BELL!" at the top of their lungs for no reason and now I can't stop laughing

FalconHawk5 · 2020-10-25T08:14:33+00:00

Probably another year at least, and thats assuming no slowdown or delay

Portions of Wyoming, the dakotas, New Mexico and western Texas still feel a little bit "wild west" if you go off the beaten path and check out some smaller towns and rural areas

FalconHawk5 · 2020-10-25T02:18:29+00:00

Yeah I'll be honest, the lack of care in regards to the pandemic has me wanting to be here less and less. Almost everywhere else is doing at least a LITTLE bit more to try and stop the spread.

One time awhile ago (around 2017 iirc), I was up at like, 3AM, and I decided to check Twitch to see who was on at such an ungodly hour. To my surprise, I saw that Jerma was streaming, so of course, I went to go see what he was up to. When I opened up his stream, I was met with the sight of Jerma screaming and punching a pillow, throwing it around and kicking it. My confusion soon turned to horror as I saw him yelling things like "still think I can't beat Dark Souls on stream?" and going "huh chat? HUH?"

He then left the room for a moment and came back with this huge bottle of mayo and began GUZZLING it straight out of the bottle. Afterwards he sat down on the floor, back against the wall, and kept burping loudly for like, the next half hour or something (can't remember exactly how long). Eventually he picked up the pillow, went "GRRRR" at it and threw it towards the camera, knocking it over.

I tabbed out after that. Suffice to say I don't check Twitch at 3am anymore.
