It’s like the intense buildup before the big explosion. “May you live in interesting times”, says the Old Chinese Curse, and well, the times certainly are interesting. I can’t shake the feeling like something bad is going to happen. Before America’s Tale is over, someone will do something either incredibly stupid or incredibly genius, and then, I think a possible second Civil War will happen.
Are you auditioning to become the next John Edward?
It’s not culminating. That’s just your life.
Well, when you consider what I found browsing r/politics…
Perhaps I should have made this post pertain more to it.
I’m not seeing the connection.
Can you feel it?
No.
Between 1969 and 1973 some people seriously thought that Nixon was going to declare martial law and order antiwar protesters shot or put into concentration camps- Kent State would turn out to be just a prelude. Governor Reagan of California was threatening to send war protestors to the head of the draft pick so they could be court-martialed under military justice. The radical Left weren’t just spouting rhetoric when they talked about the Revolution- they thought the country was six months away from a civil war. When Nixon was brought down some people worried that rather than be impeached he’d start a nuclear war with the Soviet Union first.
Our current political climate consists of mild grumbling by comparison.
No.
Well, content owners are upset over the massive public backlash from SOPA/PIPA/ACTA, and so, instead of asking the government to “protect copyrights”, they’re asking ISPs to do it. But here, “protecting copyrights” is just code for restrict Internet Freedom.
That’s what SHE said!
Is this like one of those paintings where instead of needing special glasses, you need to be high?
I think the Illuminati are finally going to make their bid for one world government, as predicted by the Mayan calendar. It’s the age of Aquarius, open your third eye and allow your pineal gland to receive transmission of the universe’s great plan for our people. I feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord.
And this has what to do with America collapsing into a civil war?
After we are done toking and the cheetos run out, we will go to war.
If there isn’t a funny video of a cat on youtube to be found.
Ooooooh! Some guy writes a story on his blog about how Big Brother is going to use the Internet to search our hard drives to find all the stuff we’ve illegally downloaded over the years.
And Big Brother is so arrogant that they’re giving us four month’s notice of their intentions!
I guess there’s nothing left to do except to stock up on canned goods, build my bunker and burn all those mp3’s on to a DVD and do a full wipe of my hard drive before Armageddon.
Compared to the ever-present threat of annihilation that was the Cold War, this era is a veritable marshmallow of discomfort.
I think the OP is on(to) something here. Think about it…the US has been poised to attck Iran for over a decade now. We are obviously moving towards a on world government…just look at how stable the EU and Eurozone have become. Sometime soon the Amero will finally be trotted out. It’s only a matter of time before The Truth™ about 911 AND the fake moon landings comes out, and it’s clear that the forces trying to hold back information on UFOs are starting to. Rumble. Soon, the whole GlobalWarming scam will come out, and I’ve heard dogs and cats might have been seen living together.
Seems pretty grim…

Between 1960 and 1976 some people thought they could change the world with sex and drugs. They were wrong.
After 2000, some people thought the world could change. They were right. So. Can you feel it? The world is changing.
The effect without the cause.
Well, can you feel it?
Oh, great. ISP’s policing data. This is going to be a hassle.
Thing is, if they can do it, it’s probably the rational choice. But some of the users are going to just try to find ways around it, and it will make things so much more complex.
I hate IP law.
Yes, yes I do. It’s the Hackocalypse.
Most explosions are kinda sudden.
