Why has the world suddenly become such a hilarious shitshow?

Just picture that you happened to be born in the early 1900s in Germany and
world War I breaks out, if your lucky you don't fight if your unlucky and survive you loose most your friends. Peace finally comes and a Spanish flu epidemic breaks out and kills around 100 million people in the world.

Wow you survive all that, oh after you lose all your money in the stock crash.
Well hopefully your later years will be peace ful. I'm sure this young Hitler chap has potential....

Just an example of how not a shit show this world currently is. We take alot for granted.

True but there was some logic and precedence to a lot of that. Emperors fighting each other over bullshit and getting their people killed was nothing new, only add in machine guns and chemical weapons to make it more horrific. Epidemics and economic downturns happened with disturbing regularity. That a bunch of losers like Hitler and Goebbels could seize power was pretty original, I'll give you that, but now we have a former game show host as President being trolled by an action movie star (who was himself governor of the largest US state) on Twitter, and we're talking about it on a site where thousands of people come together to discuss the latest social media thought of an autistic transexual who shits his panties every other month. So we're down a whole new rabbit hole, for sure.

There's no reason we can't laugh and think about it as well.

Although the kind of people who are making the world a hilarious shitshow are generally little more than laughingstocks, besides the occassional rise to power from one of them.
 
It's the end of the world. I think. We all gonna die. *sadface

I also think the Internet makes people crazy. If someone's a little bit eccentric and flakey, then online stuff can make it worse. Simply put, the Internet is a Retardation Machine.

Nitpick: the flu epidemic happened at the beginning of 1918, about ten months before the end of the War. So those who were fighting at the front were ALSO dying of it.

(Sorry, history geek. Carry on.)

Have fun and fuck the asshole off to those who oppose the high order of the cheeks. That's how it goes for me.

I bet America would be less of a shitshow if healthcare didn't cost so damn much / was more accessible, on a more serious note (e.g.: something my ass is passionate about and can't stop being such for...).

Too bad (like many things worth that effort - because your feelings being hurt is NOT an issue in any sense.) that means marching for something worthwhile - something people marching right now don't fucking get...

In other words better than mine.

Remember how 2012 was declared to be the end of a new age and dawn of a new one?
Well right now we're seeing the corpses of the old age starting to rise from the waters and everything break apart.
It will all burn like an autistic Ragnarok and from the ashes, a new world will be reborn.

excuse the double post but the world ended in 2000 as well
 
Because we built an entire generation based on feelings and living in a bubble, journalism died to make way for pundits, "social media" became a career, politics became less about what you say and more about how loudly you can say it, war became a business, being controversial is now seen as the same thing as being insightful, shame is seen as something to overcome rather than heed, privacy became passé, free speech became an argument about people's feelings, and mental illness became about acceptance instead of treatment.

More people can tell you about black girl Iron Man than can tell you what major life goals they plan to accomplish this year.
So the world's a shithole because we've very cautiously and carefully made it so.

TL;DR-We spent the last few decades soaking the world in gas and matches and now we're loudly wondering why everything is on fire.

Sometimes I wish I was just some stupid hick whos job it was to empty septic tanks, and had WWE season tickets and went to the local watering hole to watch some girls get drunk and flash people every week. At least he's happy and oblivious.
