A foreign land with no respect for life, rights, & democracy. A foreign land that worships money and power; raping and pillaging the land.
A foreign land where income inequality creates massive poverty expansion with despair, illness, and death.

Sound bleak? It is America's reality.

Lately im wondering.. Maybe I simply died in the night before Brexit. And christian fundamentalists were right all the time, so now I'm in hell because I'm gay and a non-believer.

So maybe hell looks like this. Everything I like comes crashing down on me within a couple of years. It probably goes on until I'm so desperate I start praying and believing in god. At that point I'm instantly promoted to heaven, where liberals have taken over world leadership?!

Or maybe I'm just losing my mind right now. Who knows.

So far, I guess my past self has been unable to change the timeline.

I blame CERN.

there's a whole philosophical perspective on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

I'm not exactly un-convinced, based on the surreal nature of current events.

then it must be some great distraction or conspiracy? There's things going on that we don't know.
