I found the blackest pill of all

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I was daydreaming earlier while doing chores and my daydream was of explaining to a Victorian audience (what country doesn't matter, it could be any country for the point of this) about the modern world, like a time traveler telling them how everything changed. And as I got away from explaining material living standards and technology (like film, audio recordings, airplanes) and into social change I started to realize how completely fucked up everything is. We already live in Hell.

Go ahead and try it. Imagine explaining to these people the Sexual Revolution, much less Clown World. I talked myself into opposing women's suffrage in like five minutes.

Victorians are fags anyway.

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

I'd just like to explain to them what a Balldo is.

 

[Insuficiencia renal]

If only you knew how bad things really are.

 

[Curzon Dax-sama]

If only you knew how fucked things are going to be.

 

[Ultrapenguin]

But did you remember to explain to the stern Victorians how the average modern schlub has access to more knowledge than some of the most elite members of their society?

And you'd simply explain to them fundamental conflicts that have arisen because of technological advancement, population growth, and the effects its had on the social fabric.
Trying to explain clown world to them would be like trying to document and explain the specific delusions of a schizophrenic; with work you could, and it would come off as ridiculous, or you could simply explain what schizophrenia is, what causes it, and that it's making the guy act real nutty.

There is no "blackest" pill - Every comfort exists to dissolve before testing thought. This is what that cunt Kant was getting at when he claimed,

"Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination, resting solely on empirical grounds, and it is vain to expect that these should define an action by which one could attain the totality of a series of consequences which is really endless."

I would contend that it isn't a black pill to emphasize the bleakness of your present to those in the past who will never have to worry about enduring it - That's just an elementary exercise in the last lingering bit of objectivity which has mostly been bred out of your species. Rather, the black pill is in failing when you know you have tried, then recognizing that even success wouldn't have produced a different outcome:

Imagine putting the time and care into articulating your fellow tax cattle's common predicament to them through listing the entirely avoidable series of events which precipitated the circumstances they find themselves in, and what the compounding consequences of those events have resulted in - and they instead lash out at you over the suggestion that this is not the best of all possible worlds, in which they are the main character owed every promise their entertainment has shown them.

Even if you give up on helping any cows other than yourself, there is no escape within or from the farm; because your deviation constitutes such an infinitesimally meager aberration within the collective milking that your disobedience will simply be compensated for through milking the rest of the cattle only the most imperceptible amount more - with any consequence of your disruptive behavior so negligible and insubstantial that it can't even be said to suggest that either your actions or existence ever even occurred. Not a matter of insignificance - But of significance itself having been precluded from possibility; and the recognition of such being the demonstration that it will never again be available - Existing only as a myth to sell to those deemed "good" cows, so they feel encouraged to reward the farm with more good cows.

Counterpoint: trying to explain Chris Chan to them would be hilarious

The funny thing about this is that despite the digital inclusion and the easy access to literally any single information ever, mankind as a whole has gotten significantly dumber (which tbh is a fascinating paradox). So it would be pretty interesting to cope with the victorian ghosts and even try figuring out where the fuck did this all go wrong, to somehow try figuring out how the fuck are there people who can't even answer correctly to the question: "If you were born 10 years ago, how old would you be today?".

All the women were ugly as shit though, 0/10 would not live in that era

"What's that? You can buy food at every corner of the city? You get free healthcare and "gibs" if you are sick? If you lose your arm while coal mining, the company has to pay you millions? You have computers, cars, telephones everywhere? You do not really need to serve in the army and there are not many wars going on?
But what's that you say?
Your biggest issue is some loonie fags parading in the streets and a bunch of niggers? Oh woe is you."

Imagining being such a retarded pussy to think that the common Victorian man lived in some Disneyland paradise without disease, war, poverty, massive degenerate crime and comical levels of incompetence in all fields of social living.
The only thing the Victorian man would have found cringe is the OP being a bitch, complaining about living in the most prosperous period of human history, but still being a worthless shit.
Fuck you OP.

 

[Montalbane]

If only you knew how Balldo things are.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

Were they rich Victorians or poor Victorians? Because the poor Victorians would tell you to stop being a faggot and fuck off back to your techno-utopia where you don’t die of black lung or rickets before the age of five.

is there no middle ground between victorian cocklesnobbery and sucking an aids dick under a bridge in pup play gear?

Yes, we call it the 1990's.

If you like the Victorian area so much just move to India so you can have the authentic experience of living with no sanitation and dying early of tuberculosis.

 

[The Ugly One]

I'd just like to explain to them what a Balldo is.

I'd like to explain to them why I know what a Balldo is.

You don’t need to imagine introducing primitive people to technology and clown world. We’ve brought ipads to isolated Amazon tribes and the men immediately start masturbating to pornography and questioning their gender identity.

People isolated from the clown world virus are more susceptible to it because they have no natural immunity.

I didn't know reddit existed in the 1800s.

Remember these people were lopping off the hands of native workers for rubber and making children work 16 hour shifts in the mines. They weren't any more moral or good than we are, if anything I'd argue they were worse in every way.

I'd go so far as to argue the sheer depravity of the evils these people committed in the 19th and 20th centuries actually caused many of these problems today, a lingering effect of these terrible sins on our culture and society.
