I feel like every story I hear out of the UK lately is some weird combination of stupid and vaguely dystopian.

Are things ok over there?

No. They're a mess. Brexit was a mess. Their politics are a mess. The royal family is a mess. Their culture is a mess. Their economy is a mess. Their climate is a mess. They're not ok, but there's not really anything we can do for them, so... I guess they're on their own, like the rest of us. They'll have to figure their shit out, pronto, or fall into chaos, which seems more likely what everyone is going to end up doing around the world. I wish them luck. They'll need it. We'll all need it.

I don't feel like any progress has been made in the past 25 years. Progress in some areas is offset by complete fuck ups in other areas

Bruh... Orwell literally wrote about how authoritarian the British government was in the 50s. Of course 1984 was highly exaggerated at that point, but the point still stands.

No, the world's former premier colonizer is not okay. All that shit they did is turning inwards, just like in US. Not saying the common person deserves is, unlike weird tankies fetishizing suffering of the west as some kind of karmaic justice. The Global South is still suffering too. No one is having a good time.

There was a pretty good day localized to my apartment yesterday 🤷🏻

Did you not even have to use your AK?

Did that good day require drugs though?
