We could’ve been reduced to ash and radiation but instead we have whatever a subprime mortgage is.

Rude af tbh

    Your world and the world of a few million affluent Americans and those in the western world just got inconvenienced with the election of an orange idiot … it doesn’t mean the world got worse … it was always bad for the majority of everyone else outside the western world and for the poor living in the western world.

    As shitty as it is … I’d rather live in this timeline dealing with an orange skinned orangutan then to live in a post apocalyptic wasteland (chances are we probably wouldn’t even exist and even if we did, we probably wouldn’t want to)

    In this timeline we have a chance at fighting back against oppression … in the timeline you imagine, everything and everyone is destroyed.

      Oh, I think you misunderstand the assignment. This isn’t presenting the idea of living in the current timeline vs living in post atomic wasteland.

      This is living in the current timeline vs extinction of all of earth decades before you were even born.
