A docile piggy is a quiet piggy... but chip off the veneer and most of those "happy boomers" are unfulfilled, low-level alcoholics, desperately trying to fill their lives with distraction just like the rest of us. Home improvement for a pretty cage. Third cruise in a year to get the **** out of the pretty cage for a little while and feel alive (drunk on the all inclusive). I think people inherently feel that it's a ****ing shambles but they can't piece it together and so they argue about this, and this, and this and that and desperately try to tell themselves that everything is fine because it's "good enough" and they have it "better than some" while they slide passively into their coffins. **** it, I keep saying "they". I should be saying "we". I'm one of them.

The world needs to stand up and absolutely ****ing rage but we won't. Not ever.
