Junk Life

Rome Burning

Two consecutive days of canned chili with beans for dinner, eaten cold out of the can, must suggest a fragile mental state. There have been adequate anecdotal evidence provided in Notes to substantiate the latter prognosis. What can be expected after thirteen months of “super-duper corona” tyranny?

There’s not much that can mitigate the problem, certainly not junk food, junk entertainment, junk social media, junk politics, junk music, junk science, junk culture, junk religion, junk economics, and junk (read: “fake”) news. Being surrounded by mindless bullshit and endless propaganda is essentially close to being dead.

All that’s left is the wait for the Fascist “vaccine passport” to be mandated. The window of marginal freedom is closing rapidly. Once that window is closed, there will be no escape. Yet, where is there to escape to? Russia? Albania? Belarus? Cuba?

Addendum: The local news is saturated with “super-duper corona” bullshit daily, mostly to augment the constant state of fear. Comments from local residents are focusing on a push for all-pervasive “vaccine passports.” Stockholm Syndrome?

Miscellany: The World Socialist site was conspicuously absent from the last approved reading list from a few months ago. No explanation was given previously. Sadly, the editors of the site decided to go “all in” with the “super-duper corona” hoax. In fact, they were “over the top.” Unacceptable and mummified.
