What if the “democracy/anarchy” option was the real social experiment the whole time?
What if that was the point? So that we could watch how a mass of people has to make decisions on how a program will be run to reach an end goal? How one system may not be the fastest but it is more efficient and involves less backtracking?
I actually just saw someone in the chat say “screw democracy this is so slow”.
This is it. This is the whole point.
But what was I doing before I sat at this table
Because all I’m aware of is how my legs tremble
They’ve born such a terrible weight.
And all around me these voices scream and fight,
Declaring one another to be hypocrites and liars,
Meanwhile I watch the dying funeral pyre.
When they finally grow weary and quiet
I ask them where we are and what’s the point of it,
And no one is really sure.
We’ve been fed something that doesn’t fill,
Just something to chew and mask the bile,
And each night we took it for communion
It helps us forget what’s become of this Union.
I watched one man wipe his face and cross the room
He looked out the cracked window at the prevalent gloom
And declared that something must be done.
And now that we’re sober because the wine is all gone,
We finally agreed.
See-through Chic
The only kind of chic approved by the government!
That way they don’t need a warrant to see what you’re carrying.

I’ve read enough sci-fi to know where this is going. That’s it, moving to a cabin in mountains, completely isolated from society.
Oh, wait. Then they’ll just drone strike me. Because that’s legal now.
I’m proofreading my brother’s research paper for him… and he writes like how politicians speak. Grandiose, over exaggerated, and full of buzzwords and BS without sources.
I’m applying for a job at Target and part of their survey asked me, “The percentage of politicians I think are honest is…”
pfffft…
None, absolutely none.
