Even if coronapanic ends, what's normal keeps getting worse. Things sucked in the '00s, but compared to just 10-20 years ago, it's a dystopian nightmare now. Each "new normal" makes this place more insane and hellish. And the scumbags in power and influence driving it this way are going to keep at it.
Smartphones and social media are eating society alive.
The "Internet Of Things" allows appliances to spy on you.
"Social engineering" and AI "algorithms" making software and search engines stupider.
It's now normal to have some kind of electronic device on your person every waking moment.
A level of censorship previously only seen in commie crapholes.
An endless recession.
Skyrocketing cost of living.
Homelessness on the rise.
An endless "war on terror".
Freakish tattoos and piercings are normal.
Everyone is fat.
Endless "social justice" seeing the world through "problem glasses", making previously accepted behaviors into some kind of discrimination or oppression.
Male sexuality is far more demonized as "creepy" and "sexist".
#MeToo.
Black Lives Matter (more than others).
Everyone is so divided by sex and race.
You're seen as an "alt-right misogynist white supremacist fascist Nazi" if you dare to wear a "Make America Great Again" cap.
Media after media going "woke" (and broke).
Everything seems so corporate, mild, and sanitized.
Di$ney seems to be taking over Western media.
Clown car elections.
Politics so divisive that people seriously consider the possibility of civil war.
"Social distancing".
"Zoom meetings".
Mandatory
muzzles face masks.
"Temporary" closures - even of outdoor things like gazebos and chlorinated swimming pools.
Biology being seen as a biohazard.
And of course, endless new buzzwords.
I hate Current Year.
