  • That’s like saying furries are pretending to be animals. Like, yeah, no shit, that’s what a furry is.

    Conservativism isn’t an ideology, it’s a grift. Conservatives sell the idea that whatever policies and regulations help them are good because they are part of some glorious tradition, and then any policies and regulations that don’t help them are evil government oppression. You’re on their team, or you’re the enemy. That’s always what conservativism has been. Narcissism and fascism talking like stoics, bearing a holy book and draped in the flag.

    It’s more obvious now because Trump isn’t good at pretending. Imagine a furry convention where everyone there is trying to imagine they are really animals, and then there’s Trump running the show, wearing an ill-fitting blue suit, long tie, and a headband with cat ears. And then he’s like “bark, I’m a tiger or whatever. If you don’t think I’m the best lion ever, you can get the fuck out.” And all the furries who don’t play along are exiled from the convention. “Are you a lion or a tiger?” Banished! “Did you just bark?” BANISHED!

    And it’s possible because none of them ever were real animals. They have always been pretending because it feels good to pretend. Some have been better pretenders, others more committed to their role, and some have been pretending for so long that they don’t even realize they are pretending. But to keep pretending, they have to bow to their self-proclaimed god-king emperor.

    Apologies to any furrys for the analogy. I know furries don’t actually think they are animals.





  • You know, I hadn’t considered that. You’re immortal and so is everyone else. Do you even bother trying to enforce laws? Anyone put in jail is going to wake up back in their own bed. Anyone in jail is going to do whatever they can to escape. I suppose the guards aren’t going to show up for work. In fact, nobody is going to go do their jobs. Why would you choose to slog it out when you could do anything? Power companies will go dark, and public transit will disappear. Telecoms would stop working and anything that isn’t automated will just go away.

    I suppose the early morning hours would be a mad dash for resources and weapons. Anyone unfortunate enough to sleep in that day would wake up to a world gripped in chaos every single day. Late nights would be either a wild party or extremely lonely.

    But with the reset, things wouldn’t fall into disrepair. People who want to restore power and communications go just go and turn those back on. Money would be meaningless, so it would just be civic pride and boredom that brings the world back from chaos.

    Sex wouldn’t mean much. Anyone giving birth that day would probably get weird. Anyone suffering from terminal illnesses would probably secure some great drugs and numb the pain as much as possible.

    We would create a lot of performance art. Music, plays, creative storytelling, everyone would have time to create and consume.

    Physical art would be almost nonexistent. You couldn’t work on a painting or statue, and anything you create would be gone by the next day.
