Listen to this song, next time you're feeling like shit? Next time you're feeling like the world is getting you down? Reject it out right and smile.
You have to try as hard as you can to make it in their world.

Can't believe nobody has posted this yet. Dollar will explode in the short term while inflation paradoxically continues to rise. Either we get a pretty steep recession or something way worse happens after that. If you're not holding USD it's even uglier

We are getting dangerously close to a point where there aren't enough competent people who care enough to keep society running.

This can be seen in the huge increase in "supply chain" disruptions due to "covid". I'm a leaf and it is getting very concerning here.

If life is a competition for one, then it's a competition for all. The world will eat you alive unless you decide to fight back, and you can even feel the jaws tightening around you.

Those who fear the pain will perish.

Those who choose to rape the very agony that threatens them will triumph.

zoomers and other potential recruits are completely brainwashed by social media and corpos to think that imaginary genders and identity politics are a real concern. On top of that technology has got all of them completely addicted to porn and has BTFO their dopamine receptors. They can't handle being uncomfortable or bored for more than 5 minutes without self medicating with porn and social media feeds. It's no wonder that the military is trying to, and very poorly, appeal to the sensibilities of tranny coomer social media zombies because that's the norm now.
