2024 is going great, and I can't wait for things to get even better in October!

Y'all Americans on this post need to cheer up. You don't know what 'the end', the apocalypse, doom, or whatever sinister synonym for 'conclusion' even is, what a curropt government really is, and less still know what misery feels like (I don't either). Acting like it's the end of the fucking world and getting all nihilistic is the most shitty-American thought there is. Stop crying and help? Or just keep watching. It's not the end of things and nothing that can't be fixed.
The meme made laugh my ass off though
Edit: I'm American :P
History can tell us where things will go. But from here it looks like we're dealing with an attack on our democratic features by the transnational white power movement (or the Christian nationalist movement. There's lots of intersection.) in order to rework the US into a one-party autocracy, as per the Heritage Society's Project 2025.
And in the meantime, the climate crisis looms in the background like an army of frost zombies, one that won't be put down by simply killing the zombie king.
You mean GoT's fantastic metaphor that was ruined by killing the Big Bad was bullshit? Aw, man 😉
History can inform our choices and give us possible outcomes but it isn't a crystal ball.
That was after they got non-GRRM writers to finish up Season 8. One of the running themes Martin peppered throughout the SOIAF was to set up and then crush classic fantasy themes that didn't play out in history. Load-bearing Bosses and magic with no ontological inertia were right up there.
So I suspect there might actually be a zombie king, and he may even be hard to kill. And killing him will be about as effective in stopping the zombie army as killing an officer in a human army.
Some people still hope that Martin will finish Winds of Winter and Dreams of Spring and he won't feel obligated to mirror the TV series. It's a far reach, but a hope.
Just because our corrupt government does it better than yours doesnt mean we dont know what it is. Btfo european
I'm an American but I understand your anger at Europeans talking shit.
Corporate ownership of the government, the slide to fascism, the divide between the common people due to the worsening cycle of right wing extremism, the accelerating climate change, the ever increasing cost of housing, the ever increasing cost of everything--things are going downhill fast and it's wild to be at a point in my life where I'm finally losing my depression while everything in the world is decaying lol
