What do we make of it? society’s angry. that’s what. society and the world as a whole, is bubbling up and pissed off and raging. there’s a lot of reasons…. but as is usual every “cycle” (there’s cycles for 5/25/75/250 years that has been statistically proven to hold true for the past 6,000 years)…. and now we’re at the WONDERFUL double whammy of 75 & 250 years.
what do these shift milestones mark? shifting governments, economic centers (250) … and shifting technology and communications (75).
the 75 mark usually ends up in some major war.
the 250 mark usually ends up in a prolonged global recession (akin to the dark ages)
what’s causing it this time? well the massive shift in technology 20 years ago, people got to enjoying shit…. then when business pace caught up and being up to speed with tech was the “minimum” to survive… a lot of follks left in the cold and disinfranchised. same shit happened in WW1& 2 (let’s be honest they were essentially the same war with a lunch break).
these disenfranchised individuals… get frustrated and desperate… and shit pops off.
think about it this way. you have some issue with your wife/husband/gf/bf. you don’t argue about it… cause you know it’s just how they are…. sya they always late or some shit. so you kinda tolerate and bottle it up. but keeps happenign and getting worse. sure, you wanna talk about it… but that’ll be a MASSIVE argument. so you keep holding it in. now OTHER shit starts to piss you off. more and more. at some point… even talking about it won’t matter…. what you NEED… what BOTH of you need…. is to throw down. a good ol’ yelling match. some high tensions. a fight. THAT’S honestly the only thing that’ll make you both calm down and learn to appreciate each other. you gotta blow off some steam.
THAT’S where the entire world is right now. RIIIIGGGHTTT at that point where EVERYTHING pisses you off about everyone else… and you WANNA talk about it… but it’s kinda too late (not quite too late… but ALMOST bbout to blow).
gun rights are an EXCELLENT topics. but it’ll cover any topic. 2A folks… don’t you touch our rights. we’ll die fighting before we let ANYONE touch em. well guess what… anti gun folks, they beat around the bush… but they pretty much done saying “i support 2a BUT…” now they ALLMOST at the point where they gonna say “fuck the 2A…. let’s throw down, confiscate.” yes yes, we’ll win and kick their asses… fine. that’s not my point. my point is…. HALF the country willing to kill the OTHER half…. for what they believe in. take that across any topic. we LITERALLY at the point where we about to blow up and say it’s ok to end the lives of our mothers and children cause they believe in something we don’t agree with. and you can be as rationale or sympathetic as you want… it don’t matter… it’s a global phenomenon. EVERY PERSON.
so until that fight happens. until that “reset”…. happens…. it’s just gonna keep getting worse and worse. those suicides and double homicides you see ticking up? they gonna KEEP going up.
Oh and for good measure….. notice those dips at the 2011-2014 marks and 2017-2020 marks? take a wild guess what happened? that’s right. economic boom. when the world is in a frenzy of luxury…. shit starts to calm down a bit. squeeze a bit… bam back to fighting. thing is, you can’t go up FOREVER. at some point those “good times” are unsustainable. again… just like a relationship.
