Kulturkampf

How is this sketch somehow getting EVEN MORE relevant after 6 years?

Cross posting because I couldn't decide between dumb news and culture wars.


Publication which encourages its readers to behave in a way which sucks the joy out of life unironically posts an article asking why life is so joyless...

Can't make this shit up!

Why does everything feel so joyless? Welcome to the age of decadence without pleasure

Maybe it’s a new outfit, or some exotic cuisine delivered anonymously and steaming hot to your door. Maybe it’s porn or gambling. Perhaps you prefer the infinite scroll, the endlessly unfurling ribbon of glossy images and videos starring people you’ll never meet doing things you’ll never do. Or maybe you favor talking to a chatbot who will assure you that you are the most special of all its users.

One again for those in the back, "In all of human history, we have never lived in more prosperous, peaceful, free and fruitful times and Millennials still aren't happy. Maybe the problem isn't the times we live in, but the people who live in it unhappily."

The stuff we used to use to distract ourselves with...like TV, Movies and movies are now almost mostly dog shit for one. I mean most stuff sucked or were mediocre even in the 70's-00's...but there were more new and original ideas...don't get me wrong there were a lot of remakes and reimagining's like The Thing, The Blob, Scarface so on and so forth. But even if some of those were good and even if they were not very good they were at least made with some kind of care and sometimes they were even so cheesy that it pretty much made up for it. Everything used to have somebodies world view or political slant. But not to the point were it wore it on it's sleeve...like nowadays to the detriment of everything. That one ex KGB guy that went off about commie subversion...was right...about all that demoralization shit. Because here we are with the soy leftists and the autistic right chuds and their asinine culture wares as proof of that.
