Plus I never thought I would witness a Western government seizing people's bank accounts for peacefully protesting.

Also the degenerate culture is like witnessing the fall of Rome in real time.

But, there is always hope. I read a book called 'The Fourth Turning' which says that history moves in 4 x 20 year cycles lasting 80 years total. It is similar to:

1. Hard times create strong men
2. Strong men create good times
3. Good times create weak men
4. Weak men create bad times

We are in for a hard few decades I think, but it will shake out the dead wood in society. Less focus on gender pronouns and CRT, more focus on what's important in life.
Aus needs to build nukes, unless Trump gets back in it can't rely on the US anymore to protect it.
Or get some autist on 4chan to reverse engineer the death ray cannon.

Yeah mate we have been under the umbrella of the US for decades, it is disconcerting to see the situation unravelling in the White House and leaves us pretty exposed.

Nukes or new alliances are something Australia should seriously consider, China will be dominating this region for decades it looks like.

i'm not sure we're at the bad stage yet. it's begun but i think people my age were kind of in between. so i think my generation could make an impact even though things have been set in motion

i think the bad generations are just below me and the teenagers like now

i'm thinking with movies right now, chit sucks. and im thinking that's not going to inspire people to be directors. so what happens when the current generation of directors die out? chits gonna get lost; chit gets lost with no frame of reference as to better times

that's what's going to happen in the future

the step below the generations mentioned could have a good response though

and no my point is not about movies it's about how ideas and direction get lost if not protected
