    The right response to this meme would be that other meme: first time?

    :)

    What I mean to say is : this bullshit is of all times.

    Just look back in recent history. A long string of wars and economic downturns. GEN Xers have everything you have and the wonderful 70s, 80s & 90s added to the mix. You know, the never ending Vietnam war, Afghanistan, iran, gulf wars, yugoslavia, kaukasus, latin america in flames and a lot of other bullshit.

    Economics? Ad to present day woes the oil crisis, housing crisis of the 80s where 15% mortgage rates meant that yes, housing was cheap and no, nobody could pay the mortgage and that bullshit in the 90s which I cant remember by name. And the dot.com burst of the 00’s.

    We all want it to stop. Like forever. But you know the line :

    Money talks , bullshit walks.

    The money is talking. We’re just sitting here bullshitting. And, to end with that other meme, apparently: this is fine.

    Because we in Europe are all voting hard right and across the pond people seem hell bend on the return of the orange faced demented warrior. And can we really blame 'em? Because what choice do they really have? Grandpa1 vs grandpa2? A competition about whose dementia is the worst? What’s this? The soviet polit bureau of the 80s? ?

    So. Yes, you reap what you sow.
