Description:
This is actually something I've been thinking for a while... then I saw someone post this on Fark.com (User "TubamanRH" to be specific)
Islam trying to take over the world by any means necessary, a complete doofus with horrible cronies in office, both political parties being torn apart from the center by their relative dumbass extremists, Iran and N. Korea building up their nuclear programs... |

Islam - if there's one thing I can't understand about that religion is it's "honor" system.
That - and NO ONE is allowed to publically critize Islam and the teachings of the Koran. Even if you aren't a Muslim and you make a film about the oppression of women in Islam (like Theo Van Gogh) - you've dishonered Islam and are fit to be killed.
You'r not allowed to draw Mohammed - so you can forget about artisitic freedom of expression (even if you're not Muslim). Personally - I'd draw Mohammed jerking off a pig while drinking it's blood like a vampire - but even when used as in a humorious state (like Jesus on South Park) - that makes me evil.

Iran and N. Korea are nowhere near the threat we thought they were, and the doofus is no longer in office.
However, Religious extremists have gotten even crazier, brutal, and better supported and equipped in the past eight years... the political parties, and the 24 hour propaganda business-backed news agencies that support them, are being torn even further apart from reality, and climate change is going to eventually permanently fuck over at least a third of the world's currently inhabited areas, if not more.
I still firmly believe I will be alive to see the end of civilization as we know it. Oh, the human race will continue on, just in a much worse way than we know now.
At the very least in the near-future, the entire internet, and the society we have integrated and built around it, will eventually be destroyed and systematically torn to pieces by cyber terrorism. That will be a very dark turning point.
There is no giant conspiracy. There are not larger forces at work that are causing this. It's just the power of stupidity in large numbers from innumerable factions across the planet, incited by a small group of utter sociopaths in each faction, that will eventually lead to all of this.

#45, Well said. You know, when I first joined, you and I butted heads politically (and everywhere else to be honest) so this was very refreshing to read.
Well said, and if this was FB, I would "like" and "share."

#49, Last time I renewed my subscription to RON, that crossed my mind. After dropping the money for another year, I started to wonder if the site would even still be here a year from now. It actually made me really depressed, to the point that it motivated me to pick up a new hobby - martial arts - to meet people. I also added other site profiles to my profile here, to create a digital trail for myself.
I've already decided that this subscription will be the last one. I'm not leaving; hell, as long as this site is up and someone else is posting on it I'll be on it. But I don't know how long it'll last, and I just don't use the subscriber features enough to warrant it anymore. Looking through old threads (and especially old Free Posts) is just eerie now.

I own a house. I have a good, steady job for an excellent municipal government. I have very little personal debt. I should be happy...
But the world's uncertain future still deeply concerns me. Yes, there's the threat of global terrorism, that hasn't changed much, but one trend, domestically, is seriously disturbing.
The anti-science movement. People that, if they don't understand something, they distrust it, and cherry-pick information they found on the internet to vehemently oppose it... and this movement is only growing, on BOTH sides of the political spectrum.
Anti-vaxxers, anti-GMO, anti-evolution, anti-climate-change... these are all movements that have no basis in reality, but their supporters feel they should have equal attention and equal validation... and they're getting it.
Previously cured epidemics are coming back, efforts to increase farming efficiency and fight world hunger are being quashed, religious-fundamentalism is being taught in mainstream, secular education programs, and, you know my house and my job? There's a very good chance everything stable about my life, everything I know and love, will be underwater in mere decades... and now we will have an ardent climate-change-denier in the White House. Fucking wonderful.
...there's also the possibilty that our country is headed for Brazil-levels of income inequality. The biggest con job of the last couple decades is convincing blue-collar workers that it's the government's fault that their wages, living costs, health care costs, etc, have gotten so horrible... when in actuality it's bankers, CEOs, stock market speculators, and lobbyists that have screwed them... but because of this con job, they're voting in people that will make it even worse.

I've seen it said recently that we live in a "post-fact" era. I don't think that's the case, really, I think it's that we don't really know what facts are anymore. The mainstream news media have certainly shown that they can't be trusted, they've been caught spinning way too many stories to suit their own agendas. Everyone is battling to control every narrative.
In a fucked up way, I don't completely blame people for being anti-science, or at least distrustful of alleged scientific consensus. Nobody has earned anyone's trust.

#42, I still distrust Islam - and I now extend that distrust to all religions. Adherents of any faith seem to me like they've sold out their ability of self-determination for a flimsy story with no guarantee. With that comes the diminishment of the self - perhaps something worse than mental illness. That - to me - is one of the biggest threat to humanity.
