"What the Fuck Happened?"

From Greatest World Power in Human History, to Tallest Midget in the Circus


One day you're living in the most powerful nation in human history watching your fellow citizens driving a dune buggy on the moon.

Forty years later, there's no manned space program and draft-dodging politicians are cutting foodstamps for homeless veterans - pointing out that there's only enough "budget" for veterans to go to war, not come back from it.

All while NeoCon artists put every effort into carpet bombing foreigners into embracing highly "Exceptional" junk food and junk culture, while still other demented fucktards believe that the moon landings were faked.

Working backwards from today's Idiocracy, it is wholly implausible that the U.S. ever went to the moon, so anyone born in the South Park generation is fully justified in their inbred cynicism. Why would anyone who has never seen a deep space astronaut take flight, believe that someone walked on the moon almost half a century ago? At this point in time, those landings may as well have been fake for all the good they do the Kardashian-set. 

The slow passage of time convinces the masses that nothing has changed. When in fact everything has changed. The only thing left is the hubris.

But...
Granted, the U.S. is still the tallest midget in the Circus, at least in nominal Dow terms.



Pretending, is the name of the game
