There doesn't seem to be anything new and exciting going on these days.
No fads taking everyone by storm. No new technology everyone is discussing (AI is pretty meh at the moment, especially with the censorship). No new entertainment everyone has to see.
Maybe I'm out of the loop but I don't feel I am. Anyone else kinda feel this way?
Yup - that’s what the communists want. Your culture destroyed so they can implant their great utopian vision.
Ya gotta understand - jazz, rock music, punk music, sci-fi, anime, video games, D&D… these things were created by rebels and visionaries. Who wanted to see, hear and play what they liked and all were (and are) belittled and attacked by the establishment which dint win because “the fun” won over.
It’s like Rippa says - we have to create what we want ourselves and not just be consumers of what the establishment feeds us.
