I went to a concert last night and it was surreal. We're just going to sit here and let the train hit us and the world. Mass delusion.

Television affects people’s thinking.

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh come on, TV is so 60's-90's complaints. These days it's TikTok and YouTube rotting minds.

Bread and circuses.

if you are bothered you should be doing something about it.

You get used to it when it’s been sinking since before you were born.

Me just thinking that my grandparents came here for a better life. Now people from my country get killed by ICE.

But if I leave and go back with cousins in Mexico I have no doubt that the USA government and billionaires bs is going to spread its impact worldwide.

It will wherever you end up, don't put that on yourself.

That captain is sleeping. No, don't wake him up! That's when he messes up the least.

Bread and circus. No bread, but a whole lot of circus to keep people occupied while they go under.

It’s not accurate, there’s not enough dead brown people and guns and the water’s not covered in oil and there’s not a giant yacht zooming in the other direction, away from this disaster.

[–] joeljoelle@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 days ago

that's fair

Wait I think I know this boat. I am pretty sure it is a sunk boat in miami that was there for a really long time. A lot of people used to go canoe over to it and take pictures.

[–] fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 5 points 3 days ago

there was a similar situation near Beaufort SC where a decently large catamaran from the 80s was anchored out in the bay for years.

old empty boat. big enough for a large galley and other rooms

i hopped up on it in the daytime a few times. it was crazy

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Yup. I've been there. There was an older nastier one in Palm Beach too. But not nearly the tourist trap as this one

They look like adults.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

can’t even afford clothes

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The worst part? It was an electric boat and they had to choose between being electrocuted by the battery and being eaten by sharks

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're not too experienced with electricity huh

It's the second time I reference that Trump bit and I am shocked by how few remember it. He said it so many times too.

The one on the left looks like she would get offended if you pointed out the reality that the ship is sinking instead of going along with the delusion.

Like a magician accidentally revealing their own secret mid trick and getting mad if you don't pretend to be baffled at how they just sawed that lady in half and put her right back together.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

This one sums it up pretty well. Some peoples feet are wet and some are not but we are not ourselves underwater so we pretend we are not sinking.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

…that’s fair

[–] UpAndAtThem@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

But, USA is winning at soccer right now, wooooo! 🥖🤡

[–] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That boat is probably sitting on the bottom. America still has farther to fall, believe it or not.
