when nothing mattered for 40 years as we slowly sank from neoliberal to neocon to trumpism as everyone slowly melted their brains with technology, and at the same time slowly constricted any fun out of societ with tired moralism while the wealthy priced us all out of house, food and home
When did our society become so nihilistic?
maybe the trademark angle of Gen X left criticism: "lol you think anything you do or believe matters, good luck with that bullshit buddy" it's a sickness of the soul

Jasmine El-Gamal states, quite correctly, that Maduro and his wife were abducted.
The presenter queries that choice of words
Gamal replies: "They went into their.. bedroom in the middle of the night & snatched them away. If that's not a kidnapping, I don't know what is"

Remember: It is a mystery to every journalist and pundit why this Labour government are so roundly and universally detested.
Govt minister Darren Jones is asked what element of international law gives the US the right to abduct the leader of another country.
Jones says he's not qualified to answer that question and he's not a spokesperson for the US administration.
