I think I literally quoted Farquad in real time as he said this.
Unless he’s done it more than once, which is sadly possible.
that often happens in war
War, like the thing that congress has to declare before you go attacking places willy-nilly?
It’s not a war, it’s just a special operation, like the one Russia did against Ukraine in Feb 2022!
It’s seriously looking like both Cold War powers will be caught in a terminal forever war, that they refuse to call a war, at the same time but for different reasons.
I almost forgot this is the joke timeline for a moment there.
It’s a Schrödingconflict - it exists simultaneously as a war and non-war
I am genuinely shocked that the US aren’t referring to it as a “special military operation”.
Trump has apparently settled on ‘an excursion’.
We’ve pretty much literally hit 1984 levels of linguistic fuckery / hyperreality.
Hyper-what?
HyperReality.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality
Largely (entirely?) from Baudrillard.
Related to HyperNormalisation, but not quite the same thing.
Curtis, in his documentary, essentially derived HyperNormalisation from HyperReality… he cites Baudrillard a lot, uses it as a framework to describe HyperNormalisation, to refine the ideas, make them more specific, expand upon the foundation laid by Baudrillard.
Huh, TIL. Interesting, thanks!
Ahem.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is.
You have to see it for yourself.
What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
Underneath the pond scum, at the bottle, lies all the duck shit.
And my parents eat this with a spoon and lick the bowl.
Traitor?
whale shit?
