    We’ve been asking “could the next year not be as bad as the last year???” since 2019. But every year has been a little worse.

    I’m sorry to say, it likely continues getting worse from here. It’ll be awhile now before it gets better.

      Yup. Anybody that knows anything about history knows that we’re all in it deep. How long it takes, though, that’s anybody’s game. It could be in our lifetimes or our grandchildren’s lifetimes. It could even all be over a few years from now - unlikely, but possible.

      One thing is for certain, it is going to get worse, much worse, before it gets better.

      You don’t get to this point and just turn around and never come back. That’s like getting bone cancer and then it just disappearing on its own. And right now, it has metastasized in the oval office and all branches of the US government and has been consolidating power across the world, brazenly, for several years, basically unhindered.

    Whenever people post these kinds of things (and it’s a sentiment I agree with, ofc), I always wonder who’s expected to reply/do something about it. It almost sounds like a prayer… but certainly not in my Lemmy, right?! 😉

    This is why ppl gotta stop saying “this year is gonna be my year”. Bad things happen. They will continue to happen. What we can do now though? Like Spain, we should be striking. We should be forcing them all out and kicking them out of the country. Plain and simple. Time is an illusion. Action needs to happen now.

    Following the trend from around about 2001, every year will be a little bit worse than the year before, except for those years that are a lot worse.

    It’s so freaking sad to watch people finally figure out things are not getting better, not in our lifetimes anyway.

    There’s a reason these memes have been coming up every year for a while now.

    I predict we no longer see this type of meme about 2027 sucking and 2028 better be better. I think we will see some “holy shit 2027” in the first few weeks and after that it won’t be much of a joke anymore.

      My goal in life is now just to try and live as comfortably as possible, my generation will bear the brunt of what is to come and while we may see the beginnings of improvement we will not see any meaningful results from it, which im fine with tbh so long as things can start going in the right direction sometime in the next 60 years.
