I know we’re all scared, fatigued, and exhausted, but I think the memes and jokes about how 2020 is the Worst Year Ever and how the world is going to hell and how it’s the apocalypse are starting to wear us down and make things feel even more hopeless.
Full offense but where’s the “I’m gonna punch God in the face” energy? The “I refuse to die until things are better and that is a threat?” No more “the world is ending and everything sucks” memes, the new meme is going to be Punching The Universe In The Throat. I don’t care if none of us feel it, we need it. If y’all are feral then act like it!!! Bite depression and apathy in the junk! Be so hard to kill animal control doesn’t know what to do!
I just. I literally cannot stand the thought of memes about how 2021 sucks, and about how 2022 sucks, and about how 2023 sucks, an unending Shitty Pessimism Wheel of Depression spiralling on and on and on until the foreseeable future with no possible escape.
How will we survive that? Aren’t y’all just absolutely exhausted, past your bones and into your very SOUL, at the thought of continuing to make and share and SEE memes about how the world is a garbage fire until it, you, or memes themselves finally are surrendered to the flames?
Will we still be here in 2027 like “2027 is the REAL shit year and the world is ending and we’re all going to die!” Will the “bad timeline” joke format still be plodding along its helpless way a decade from now? Will we still be beating ourselves like flagellant monks with the corpses of apocalypse related meme formats in 5 years? Is it not plausible that we could begin queuing now memes for 2021 and 2022 complaining about how the world is shitty and on fire? Isn’t the thought simply the most damning, hopeless thought your brain has ever conceived? Doesn’t every cell of your body recoil at the image?
I simply cannot take this. My sanity is going to unspool if I stare into this future any longer. We HAVE to change the narrative. We cannot do this forever, we CANNOT, WE MUST NOT
